Pre-College Summer Programs
For rising junior and senior high school students who want to explore topics that will fuel your curiosity, challenge your perspective, and provide a hands-on glimpse into college life and learning.
Get a taste of college life in the Muhlenberg Summer Institute, a two-week summer experience featuring programs in new media and journalism, entrepreneurship and economics, theatre, political science, and psychology. Learn critical entrepreneurship skills and how to monetize social media. Refine your theatre performance skills. Understand the how and why of political advocacy to make change. Explore the intersection of journalism, podcasting, and TikTok. Gain an understanding of your brain and what makes fun, fun.
Every Summer Institute program is an introduction to the academic skills, and hands-on learning that will help you succeed in a rigorous college environment. You’ll also get to live like a college student for two weeks — exploring campus and the Lehigh Valley and making valuable connections with faculty, staff, and other students. Each program includes a half-day Career Accelerator session aimed at translating your summer experience into future opportunities.
