The Pre-College Residential Program is designed for academically curious high school students interested in the intellectual challenge of Ivy League academics. Students enroll in credit-bearing undergraduate courses from a wide array of disciplines taught by Penn faculty, staff, and visiting scholars and are in class on campus alongside other Penn undergrads. A majority of the courses are 1 course unit (c.u.)* unless the course has a required lab, and then the course is generally 1.5 c.u. Most classes meet two to five times weekly, Monday through Friday, and assign homework, research papers, midterms, and/or finals. Textbooks and additional course materials may be required for a class.
