Here's what students say about our summer programs - University of Wisconsin-Madison

 

College life, lasting friendships, and academic challenge

At Badger Precollege, we work hard to create innovative programs for students who want to challenge their academic interests, learn more about the college experience and meet new friends. The exposure to higher education and an accepting and welcoming learning community is a transformative opportunity that can uniquely prepare students for academic and social success in high school and college.

Read what summer 2022 participants Diya, Rayna and Emily had to say about their Badger Precollege experience.

"I like building things and might be interested in Engineering as a career. My favorite part of the class has been building robots and then having them play soccer! I love being on campus and hope to go to Stanford or a similar university one day. I encourage you to try out ALP — it's been a good experience."

— Diya, Engineering Fundamentals & Design

"I took this class because I enjoy philosophy. The material is challenging in a good way! I'm also enjoying spending time with people again and getting my social skills back. You should definitely attend! It's a good way to get out of your comfort zone, a good academic experience, and you'll meet new people."

— Rayna, Introduction to Critical Reasoning

"One of my favorite parts has been a cold case project, where we're digging deep into a real unsolved case and coming up with our own theories. As a first-generation college student, my parents don't understand what is involved in going to college and living on campus. Now I'll be the expert on what I need, and can share that with my siblings, too."

— Emily, Forensic Science

The applications for our ALP and Badger Summer Scholars high school programs are open now. Learn more about our high school programs and encourage your students to apply today!

Pre-College online courses for summer - William & Mary

William & Mary
 

Give Your Students a Jump-start on College this Summer

Summer is a perfect time for motivated high school students to learn from William & Mary’s world-renowned professors and experts in today’s most sought-after industries. The application period for our online pre-college summer program is now open.

 

Our online pre-college programs help students ages 13 and older explore their interests. Through participating in our courses, students can discover if an interest could lead to a college major or even a future career.  

 

Even more exciting, we've just added a new course to our portfolio for anyone who is thinking about a future in the legal profession. Constitutional Law: We the People provides an inside look at the fundamentals of the Constitution and how the judicial system works to interpret it. Students will learn how lawyers and judges rely on the constitution to support their cases, and why there are differing opinions on how this document is — or should be — deciphered.

 

This course is designed by renowned William & Mary professors and delivered through engaging video lessons.

 

Please share this email with your students. William & Mary invites them to get a taste of college study this summer. You can also view and pass along our shareable flyer here which includes key details about our courses.


Sincerely,
William & Mary Pre-College Online Program
