Discover College Life at Emory

Emory University's Pre-College Program for High School Students Now Accepting Applications for Summer 2010

Emory’s summer Pre-College Program allows talented rising high school juniors and seniors to experience Emory’s distinctive academic and residential community.

The Pre-College experience can be transformational: both fun and academically focused. Students may enhance their academic portfolio and earn college credit in six-week undergraduate courses or enroll in two-week, non-credit courses for personal enrichment without the pressures of a grade. All classes are taught by committed Emory faculty who enjoy teaching and guiding prospective college students. The topics and courses allow for self-discovery, the chance to explore a possible major or career field, or enjoy that heightened level of creative expression and exposure that's not always available in the high school curriculum.

Six-week credit courses are offered in disciplines including Biology, Economics, Mathematics, Film Studies, Languages, Theater Studies, Social Sciences and Visual Arts.

Two-week non-credit courses span similar subject areas and include classes such as “Globalization: The Sociology of a Shrinking World”, “Lawyer as Advocate and Advisor”, “Spectacular Soundtracks: Music in Movies,” “Public Health Career Opportunities and Practices”, “Medicines for Mental Health”, “Ethics and Bioethics” and the Science of Sustainability Institute.

Courses run from May 18 to August 6.
