Students earn UC Berkeley college credit while living on campus and fully immersing themselves in university academic and social life alongside matriculated college students.
The UC Berkeley Pre-College Scholars Program offers high school students an immersive university experience, allowing them to enroll in actual UC Berkeley undergraduate courses for credit. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of college-level academics across diverse disciplines, including mathematics and data science. The program emphasizes rigorous coursework, with students typically taking two lower-division courses. Beyond academics, participants engage in a rich campus life, including orientation sessions, interactive social activities, and local excursions planned by UC Berkeley undergraduate resident assistants and mentors. The program aims to prepare students for their academic and professional futures by providing transferable college credit, college preparation workshops, and a personal letter of commendation from the Dean of Extended Education upon successful completion.
A typical day involves attending two college-level courses, participating in extracurricular activities and excursions, and engaging in college preparation workshops.
This program is ideal for motivated rising high school juniors and seniors who want to experience university life, earn college credit, and prepare for future academic endeavors.
