Pre-Collegiate Program
Join the community of up to 300 high school students who spend their summer enjoying the San Francisco Bay Area while earning college credit and a UC Berkeley transcript of completed coursework.* Take college level courses with world-renowned Berkeley professors. You can also receive a personal commendation letter from the Director of UC Berkeley Summer Sessions upon passing your courses. You are eligible if you have completed the 10th grade by the start of summer classes, have a B average or better, and have a positive recommendation from your high school. The Pre-Collegiate Program requires enrollment in Session C and/or D.

*It is important to note that attending a Berkeley Summer Session class will not improve your chances of admission to UC Berkeley. While success in any university-level summer course will help, the fact that the course was taken here will not carry greater weight in the admissions process.
