PRE-COLLEGE PROGRAM REGISTRATION
To help students explore their areas of interest, many colleges are offering winter or summer pre-college programs. These programs are a great way to get
exposed to subjects that are not available in high school: technology, art, science, medicine, architecture, sports management, business, engineering, fashion, and much more. If you are curious about a subject, it's likely there is a pre-college program out there for you. Taking extra-curricular classes like these is also a good way to demonstrate your interests to the colleges you may be applying to in the future. Registration for the winter (January) programs is going on now. Registration for the summer programs begins now and continues for a few months. Many colleges have not posted their 2022 offerings yet, so keep looking. Registration for winter and summer pre-college programs is happening now. Two directories of pre-college programs can be found here and here.
