Syracuse University Office of Pre-College Programs provides exceptional and transformative pre-college experiences to high school students from around the world. All pre-college courses are taught by Syracuse University faculty and instructors.
Summer College offers both On Campus and Online options.
On Campus students can immerse themselves in the full college experience: take a college-level course, live in a residence hall, have meals with friends in a dining hall, and participate in field trips, college tours, and activities on campus. A commuter option is also available.
Online students have the unique opportunity to explore potential majors and interests from the comfort of home – or from anywhere life takes them. Students participate in high-level instruction, have access to virtual campus offerings, and are welcomed into an engaging and supportive online community.
After successfully completing the course, you will earn a Certificate of Completion from Syracuse University and will have the option to purchase a credit or noncredit transcript. Additionally, Syracuse University pre-college alumni will receive an application fee waiver when applying for admission through the Common App.
