Temple Pre-College Workshops is a program only for high school students, designed to allow you to explore various academic areas of interest through hands-on, project-based learning. This year, you will be able to choose from over 25 topics, allowing you to customize your program to suit your unique interests or explore something new. You will learn in small classes, alongside other high school students, from Temple faculty, graduate students, and staff, and you will get lots of support from our Temple student staff along the way. You will apply what you learn to real-world challenges, and leave with a better understanding of what you may want to study in college.

The cost of Temple Pre-College Workshops is $1,300 per session. This fee covers two (2) non-credit workshops, a professional development or college readiness seminar, lunch each day, ongoing mentorship and support from Temple undergraduate students, and access to a robust schedule of evening and weekend social activities.
