Gifted Atlanta

Current high-school sophomores and juniors can apply now to the Pre-College Program at Emory University.

This summer program gives motivated students the chance to take college classes with college students. Some courses are two-week, non-credit classes; others are six weeks long and earn college credit.

Pre-College students can choose to live on campus in a dorm or commute from home. As with all residential summer programs, living on campus adds to the cost but also enhances the total experience.

The application deadline is May 1. Spaces are filled on a rolling basis, so applying earlier is encouraged. Some need-based financial aid is available. Those seeking financial aid should apply by March 1.
