This is where your future begins – living and learning in a college setting that will challenge you to discover your best self.
Carnegie Mellon’s Pre-College Programs mirror the undergraduate experience, giving rising juniors and seniors the opportunity to explore their interests and passions while receiving instruction from acclaimed Carnegie Mellon faculty and staff. We provide a holistic and robust student experience that includes academic and personal development both inside and outside of the classroom in order to prepare students for the future. *Admittance to Carnegie Mellon University Pre-College Programs has no influence on a student's undergraduate application to the university.
