Pre-College Scholars Program

The Pre-College Scholars Program allows students to study at UC Berkeley during the summer and get a head start on their academic plans. Participants have the opportunity to learn from UC Berkeley faculty and experience university life alongside current students. The program offers various tracks, including a Residential Track where students live on campus, a Non-Credit Track for a short-term immersive experience, a Commuter Track for Bay Area high school students, and a Virtual Track for online learning.

• Location: 1995 University Ave., Suite 130 Berkeley, CA 94704-7000

Testimonials from past participants highlight the social and academic experiences. Rahee, a Pre-College Scholar, mentioned, "The best part was the friends I made and the classes I attended because I felt like an actual college student." Helen, another participant, shared, "The best part of my Berkeley Summer has to be meeting amazing people from different backgrounds around the globe, going on adventures throughout the city, and simply creating fun and hilarious moments that will last forever."
