As your students plan for next summer, we invite you to explore the Georgetown University Pre-College Online Program, which is now accepting applications for summer 2026.
Our program is designed with flexibility in mind, offering two distinct tracks to meet the needs of different students:
Enrichment Courses: Perfect for students who want to explore a potential major or career path — like medicine, business, or international relations — in a flexible environment.
College Credit Courses: Ideal for students who are ready for a rigorous academic challenge and want to earn college credit to build their college transcript.
Both options allow students to learn from renowned experts in a flexible online format, giving them a chance to gain experience that will strengthen their college applications.
You’re welcome to share this email with students and parents. Our flyer—with highlights about the program—is also available to print or send electronically.
