Northeastern Accelerate Pre-College Programs offer high school students immersive, full-day, experiential learning opportunities led by acclaimed university faculty. These residential programs go beyond traditional lectures, focusing on hands-on projects and real-world applications to provide a genuine taste of college academics and life. Students engage in meaningful discussions with faculty and industry leaders, often joined by guest speakers, within small cohort sizes (typically 15-30 students) to ensure personalized attention. The curriculum is designed to develop critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, negotiation, and systems thinking skills. Participants will work on projects, such as building a startup from idea to pitch in entrepreneurship programs or conducting labs on tissue engineering and medical implant design in bioengineering. The program aims to provide a resume-building opportunity and an edge in the college admissions process by exposing students to diverse academic areas and collegiate-style learning experiences.
Academic programs run from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with social activities on and off campus taking place in the evenings and on weekends.
This program is best for talented, highly motivated high school rising juniors and seniors who are passionate about a subject area and ready for a rigorous, immersive pre-college experience.
