Boston University’s (BU’s) long-running Summer Term pre-college offerings include a choice of one-, two-, three-, and six-week programs that prepare you for success in college. With five exciting and challenging pre-college summer programs to choose from, you can earn college credit, discover a new subject area, perform cutting-edge research in University labs, or immerse yourself in hands-on learning. You’ll learn alongside motivated teens from 50 states and 87 countries in our summer programs for high school students, as well as BU undergraduates, and earn up to 8 college credits (either on campus or online).
For-credit: You can pursue in-depth STEM research with individual faculty mentors or as part of a group project.
Non-credit: You can immerse yourself in a variety of stimulating noncredit seminars that blend lectures with experiential learning, discussions, and projects.
College life: Your hard work will be balanced with social events and fun activities around campus and throughout Boston, the ultimate “college town”, thus augmenting high school students’ confidence and independence in preparing them for future college life living on their own (and experience living in a dorm).
