Adelphi Offers Credit-Bearing Pre-College Summer Programs

Garden City, NY (02/20/2025) — Adelphi University's 2025 Summer Pre-College Program application is now open to rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. The popular program, which allows each student to earn 3 college credits while participating in a one-of-a-kind experience, will take place this year from July 13 through August 2.

Virtual information sessions for the pre-college program will be held on March 19 and April 16 at 7 - 7:30 pm.

This summer's updated curriculum allows students to learn about a range of subjects from Adelphi's award-winning Adelphi faculty while they also participate in college preparedness workshops and discover all that Adelphi, and college in general, has to offer.

This year's academic offerings will include:

  • Art Foundations
  • Drawing and 2D Design
  • Business and Entrepreneurship
  • Communications and Critical Thinking
  • Computer Science and Coding
  • Creative Writing Workshop
  • Digital Media Production: Filmmaking and TV

  • Pre-Med: Microbiology, Nutrition, and Human Disease
  • Psychology and Pop Culture
  • Quantum Engineering
  • Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology

"Enrolling in our pre-college program over the summer offers many benefits," says Meghan Buckley, PhD, director of Adelphi's summer, intersession and partnership programs. "Students are exposed to college life and engage in classroom experiences that can help them choose a major. This gives them a head start on preparing for college academically and socially, offers them valuable early experiences with critical thinking, researching and presenting, and can help alleviate anxiety about the transition to college."

Courses will be offered in person at Adelphi's beautiful Garden City campus. Residential and commuter options are available.

Applications for Adelphi's Summer 2025 Pre-College Program will close on Friday, June 13.
