Get a Glimpse of College Life on the Harvard Campus

Application for summer 2022 is now open!

Test your intellect （智力） without the pressure of letter grades. You will be challenged by Ivy League scholars as you immerse yourself in one subject in a small class of approximately 15 students. Classes are non-credit, so you can take a college-level course for learning's sake.

●Live a balanced (college) life. When class is not in session, you can participate in creative and social activities. Join in co-curricular activities that stimulate your mind. And take time to have fun and get to know your peers. 

● Discover your passions. Whether you're undecided about potential areas of study or want to take a deeper dive into subject you love, the Pre-College Program can help you find what really excites you.

How to Apply

The admissions committee is looking for mature, academically motivated students who meet both of the following criteria: 

●Will graduate from high school and enter college in 2023 or 2024

●Are at least 16 years old by June 18, 2022, and will not turn 19 years old before July 31, 2022

The Course Experience

With over 30 courses to choose from in each session of three, you're sure to find a topic that inspires your interest.

You take one course during a session, and although courses are non-credit and do not have letter grades,  they are rigorous（严格的）. 

At the end of the program, you'll receive a written evaluation from your instructor, as well as a Harvard transcript（成绩单） with a grade of AR or NM （"above requirements" or "requirements not met"）. This is a great way to boost your college application.
