Pre-College programs, traditionally offered during summer months, are college programs designed for high school students. They offer fantastic opportunities for students to travel and meet other students, explore their interests and develop specific content area skills, as well as improve overall college readiness. Admission requirements  vary by program and families are responsible for cost of attendance. Get a head start on your future today!

​Below is a list that highlights schools that have reached out to the BHS guidance department in an effort to raise awareness and provide you with resources. You may visit any college's web page to explore additional programming if you don't see a school of interest here. 

The Association for Pre-College Program Directors is proud to present the 2021 Summer Pre-College Program Fairs, a series of virtual events that provide students, families, and education professionals like you the opportunity to learn about academic summer programs at top US college and universities.

  • Visit virtual booths, where you can ask questions via text or video chat with summer program representatives.
