2024 Precollege Scholars (Virtual)
The Precollege Scholars Program
Program Cost: $225/course and $25 for registration
The UF CPET Precollege Scholars program allows students to take non-credit courses in special topics taught by University of Florida graduate students. We offer a wide variety of courses in STEM, the humanities, and more. Precollege Scholars courses are taught by graduate students who are as passionate about your learning as they are the topic they are teaching. We encourage you to challenge yourself to the experience of taking college-level courses, while not having to feel the pressure and demand of formal grades. With over 40 courses offered this summer, you are likely to find a course in your area of interest!
All Precollege Scholars courses will be online for 2024. Courses will have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 20 students. Courses not meeting the minimum number of students are subject to cancellation. Students may enroll in as many courses as they would like, provided that the meeting times for the courses do not overlap.
