Attending a pre-college program at any university is a wonderful summer experience. Attending one of our programs at Penn State University is a summer filled with challenging, yet fun classes.

Summer Study Programs offers high school and middle school students the rare opportunity to “taste” college life while still in an organized and supervised environment. This “head start” eases the transition from high school to college and allows for the successful development of essential time management and study skills, self confidence and independence. By spending 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6½ weeks in a Summer Study program, students find the thought of going off to college far less threatening and, as a result, are able to eliminate much of the pre-college anxiety. The security and confidence built prior to freshman year will prove invaluable to the success of your entire college career!
