Program Description

June 29 - August 7, 2009

NYU Precollege offers rising high school juniors and seniors in the New York Metro area an opportunity to experience academic and student life at New York University. Participants commute to campus to attend one or two courses, which are taught at a college level and award NYU academic credit. Upon successful completion, students may earn up to eight college credits which may be applied to a future degree at most colleges and universities.

Although participants take their credit-bearing courses with college students, they may also enroll in a non-credit college writing workshop that is offered just for Precollege students. The workshop provides students an opportunity to enhance their writing skills and to interact with other program participants.

Outside the classroom, the Precollege program offers workshops regarding the college admission and application process, as well as a variety of on- and off-campus social events and activities. NYU Precollege is a wonderful way for outstanding high school students to get a taste of college while still having time to work, volunteer, and enjoy the summer vacation.

Precollege participants must have a summer residence within commuting distance from NYU—students are not permitted to live in campus housing.

The application deadline for international students and those applying for scholarships is April 1, 2009. All other applications are due April 15, 2009.
