Marist's summer pre-college program is an exciting way for students to gain a unique college experience while still in high school. This academic program is offered to rising high school juniors and seniors who are interested in learning more about a specific academic program and are eager to experience a taste of college life. There are 21 programs to choose from, either on our beautiful campus in the historic Hudson River Valley or on our New York City Executive Center in midtown Manhattan!
Students have the option to attend for 2 or 4 weeks and will earn 3 to 6 transferable college credits. Taught by Marist’s nationally recognized faculty, the programs will provide a challenging and rewarding experience. The program allows students to utilize state-of-the-art technology and gain hands-on experience in their prospective fields.
In keeping with the mission of the Marist Brothers, our programs promote the sense of community and of service to others that is central to the Marist experience. Marist summer pre-college supports the development of the whole person, both intellectually and socially.
In addition to making lifelong friends, students will interact with various faculty and staff members in both formal and informal settings. Our programs and services are designed to promote self-discovery, leadership development, and social responsibility.
