About Pre-College Programs
Emerson College’s Arts & Communication Pre-College Programs offer intensive summer experiences for high school students. Pre-College at Emerson offerings are challenging, fun, and designed to teach students competitive, practical skills in one academic area of communication or the arts. Most of our programs are in-person, which means you will live on our urban campus in downtown Boston and have access to the instructors, resources, and spaces (TV studios, camera kits, sound stages, etc.) that Emerson undergraduate students do. Some of our programs are offered in hybrid and online modalities. Although most of the programs are noncredit, a few select programs can be completed for college credit.
As a Pre-College student, you can look forward to:
- Acquiring basic knowledge of current industry practices and requirements;
- Creating portfolio or audition materials for your college applications;
- Learning skills in project presentations, debating, and research (Marketing + Creative Enterprise, and Politics, Activism, & Leadership Institutes).
