Pre-College Programs* - Summer of 2025

• Architecture: Introduces design practice, creative problem solving, and critical thinking through a matrix of programming, celebrating curiosity, and providing a strong foundation for architectural education. (5-week program) 

• Art: Uses both traditional tools and cutting-edge technologies to explore creative ideas in a college-level studio environment. Students develop both conceptual and technical skills preparing them for a wide range of opportunities in both art studies and careers. (3- and 6-week program options) 

• Computational Biology: Provides extensive training in both cutting-edge laboratory experiments to generate biological data and the computational analysis of that data. Uses real-world scenarios for exploration. (4-week program) 

• Design: Introduces students to the discipline of Design, provides a foundation of skills, and gives a clear idea of what to expect from a college-level accredited program. (6-week program)

Students will be introduced to the intensity of a top-rated undergraduate conservatory experience. (6-week program)

Whether through words or images, stories unite us and help create a mutual space for understanding ourselves and each other. That’s what the Pre-College Writing & Culture program works to develop: skilled, reflective, engaged storytellers who can share our stories well. (4-week program) 

 *Limited scholarships available for programs above.

Fully Funded, Merit-Based* Pre-College Programs - Summer of 2025

Carnegie Mellon's Pre-College Programs

Students sometimes worry about how to write the 500-word personal statement we ask for in the application. Perhaps this is because they are thinking of college essays. We do not expect a college essay.

We want a simple, personal statement, one in which the applicants tell us why they would like to attend, what interests them about the courses they hope to study, and what they feel they can contribute to the program. They can also throw in a few words about their academic and extracurricular interests, and anything else that will help us to get to know them, and the job is done. The statement does not need to read like a great work of literature. It is the content that matters, as that helps us get to know the students and plan their time with us.

If students are admitted, we often share these personal statements with faculty so that they are able to learn more about their students before meeting them. And in the case that students have particular interests within their chosen study subjects, tailor the curriculum to those interests. 

Finish Your Application Now

If you are worried about the statement, or feel you need more information about the programs that interest you, call us on +1-212-932-3049, or email us. Alternatively, join one of our forthcoming online information sessions:

THIS IS AN AWESOME SUMMER COLLEGE READINESS PROGRAM!!

LEARN MORE AT THESE INFO SESSIONS.

Oxbridge very much has the philosophy that students learn by doing. Medical Science students participate in dissections, Fashion students construct garments from scratch, and Engineering students build bridges with popsicle sticks. But this philosophy is perhaps most relevant to language learning.

If you’ve ever suspected that staring at conjugation charts and practicing vocabulary word flashcards is not the most efficient way to learn a language, you’d be right. Instead, here at Oxbridge, we have students learn a language by immersing themselves in it. Taking classes like international relations or culture and cuisine in Spanish, or art history in French, students learn the language in the context of their interests and passions.

Immersion enables students to learn a language more quickly through consistent exposure and keeps them motivated and engaged by allowing them to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. This method both enhances fluency and deepens cultural understanding.

Oxbridge students leap ahead in their language learning with immersion, gaining the skills and confidence to excel in both their academic and personal lives.
