Students can customize their experience by choosing two different workshops or a full-day intensive, allowing for exploration of multiple interests or deep dives into a single topic, all while experiencing life on a university campus.
Temple University's Pre-College Workshops offer high school students (rising 10th-12th graders) an immersive academic experience, allowing them to explore potential college majors and develop college readiness skills. Students engage in interactive, project-based learning, choosing two non-credit workshops per two-week session – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – or a full-day intensive workshop. The program emphasizes hands-on application of concepts, small group work, and classroom presentations. Participants build confidence, independence, and make new friends while learning from Temple faculty, graduate students, and staff, with support from current undergraduate mentors. The workshops aim to introduce key concepts in various academic fields and help students understand what they might want to study in college.
A typical day includes a morning workshop from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by lunch from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., a College Readiness Seminar from 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., a break, an afternoon workshop from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and a study hour with Pre-College Mentors from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
This program is best for high school students entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grades who want to explore diverse academic interests, experience college life, and develop college readiness skills through interactive, project-based learning.
