As gaining admission to college becomes increasingly competitive and hyperselective, the Pre-College Programs at the University of Vermont enable high school students to shine, allowing them to earn credits, explore potential career interests, boost their GPA, showcase their potential, and learn from our outstanding faculty alongside current university students.
High school students can choose from over 100 courses, available throughout the year—as well as our 4-week, intensive Summer Academy program.
UVM Pre-College Enrichment Learning Community
As part of your Pre-College learning experience, you will have access to the UVM Pre-College Enrichment Learning Community, designed as an educational and interactive resource to support your UVM courses. You will be part of this community to receive important information about academic updates and deadlines, develop your study and learning skills, participate in upcoming events and activities, connect with other students, and explore the many resources and opportunities provided through UVM and other organizations.

High school students are invited to take on-campus/online for credit courses throughout the year with current college students at UVM. Our entry-level courses—ranging from Art History to Wildlife Biology—are appropriate for high school students and UVM’s small class sizes are perfect for interacting with faculty.

“I think a lot of my anxiety around college is lessened because now that I’ve experienced a college course, I kind of know the expectations and the workload and I know the quality of work that I’m expected to produce. And it wasn’t as bad as I had made it seem in my head. So just going into my junior year, I feel less stressed and I feel like I have a better idea of what the future holds.”
