Howโ€™s this for โ€œsummer campโ€?

Rising high school 10th-12th graders are invited to UNC Ashevilleโ€™s Pre-College Program โ€” a weeklong summer immersion program that introduces students to college-level study, university life, career options, and industry professionals. Each one-week course offers:

  • Dynamic program offerings (think: robotics, creative writing, pottery, video game design, music composition, river ecology, and more)
  • Immersive, hands-on learning experiences in both classroom + recreational settings
  • The chance to experience university life โ€” yep, on-campus lodging and meals are included

Programs run June 16-21 and June 23-28.
