Top 5 Reasons to Attend a Pre-College Summer Program

 



Happy Spring!

We are just a few months away from the start of summer programs at WPI! This year, we are offering three distinct programs.

  • Launch (June 26 - 30)
    • A commuter program for rising 9, 10 & 11th graders.
  • Frontiers (July 9 - 21 & July 23 - Aug 4)
    • A set of two two-week residential programs for rising 10, 11 & 12th graders.
  • Jumpstart (July 10 - Aug 11)
    • A five week, virtual for-credit program for rising juniors and seniors.
Below are five reasons why we would love for you to participate!

1) Explore Your Future

Now is the time to check out different career paths by taking a variety of courses to expand your knowledge and fine-tune future aspirations. Plus, you'll find out what classes you love and which ones you can do without. 

2) Experience College Life

There's more to college than taking classes. Experience what life is like as an undergraduate by living in a residence hall, eating in the dining hall, and taking part in social and/or educational evening activities.

3) Make Lifelong Friendships

Find people with similar passions who will support you and help you grow as you begin the transition to college. Broaden your horizons by meeting students from all over the globe.

4) Learn by Doing

Apply your knowledge to hands-on projects run by WPI faculty, such as robot builds or biomedical engineering experiments. Participate in labs where world-changing research happens.

5) Build Independence

Enjoy many of the same freedoms as a college student. Roam campus, enjoy the dining hall buffet, and develop a positive routine. Away from home, you make your own decisions that you alone are responsible for.
