Brown Pre-Baccalaureate (Online, 2 courses)

The Brown University Pre-Baccalaureate Program is a highly selective program for rising or recently graduated high school seniors ready to undertake the rigors of credit-bearing, undergraduate study. Pre-Baccalaureate students — known as Pre-Baccs — enroll in classes alongside Brown undergraduates in the university’s Summer Session. Courses available to Pre-Baccs are those open to first and second-year undergraduates, and span the natural sciences and mathematics, the social sciences, and the humanities. The program attracts serious-minded students from across the country and around the globe. Their interests are as varied as the Brown curriculum, and they share a commitment to learning and serious study. Summer Session courses are equivalent to semester-long offerings, compressed into a fast-paced seven-week summer schedule. There are six weeks of course-based instruction with one additional week to prepare for final papers and examinations. Pre-Bacc students may only enroll in one or two online courses.
