Summer Pre-College Programs
The Summer Pre-College Programs at Susquehanna showcase the university’s colleges of the arts, business and science by offering engaging, weeklong workshops designed especially for high-achieving students. Faculty and college student mentors challenge high school students who want to learn new skills, improve their abilities or explore topics that add to their college résumé.
While plans are underway for the summer 2021 program, Susquehanna will prioritize public health amid the global pandemic in determining its ability to offer residential programming. The institutes listed below may be offered in person or online; final decisions for program format and scheduling will be made by Friday, March 19. In the meantime, you can pre-register by emailing summerprograms@susqu.edu, to save a seat in the program of your choice. You will be contacted before the registration opens to the general public to claim your reserved seat.
