UC Berkeley Pre-College Scholars Program

The Pre-College Scholars Program at UC Berkeley is designed for motivated high school students eager to experience college academics and campus life. Participants engage in courses taught by distinguished Berkeley faculty and have the chance to earn college credit. The program offers multiple participation options to fit students’ lifestyles: those wishing to live on campus can enroll in the Residential Track, while the Commuter Track caters to local students attending classes on campus without residential housing. The Non-Credit Track provides an immersive academic experience without credit, and the Virtual Track makes the program accessible globally through online courses. Students not only expand their academic horizons but also immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of the Bay Area, forge meaningful friendships, and develop a better understanding of university life. This summer opportunity equips students with valuable experiences and insights to help guide their college decisions and academic goals.
