Pre-College Programs

Please see below for pre-college program opportunities. Pre-college programs take place on campuses across the country, and are a good way to get to know a campus that you are interested in. Oftentimes these are run through the universities themselves, and you may receive academic credit for completing these programs. In other cases, they are run by third party organizations that simply rent space at the universities.  It is important to note that while the act of pursuing intellectual engagement is valued, rarely does participating in a particular program  factor in determining freshman admission at that university.
