Pre-College Programs
Wake Forest Pre-College Programs are designed for high school students to experience academic rigor, dynamic learning and enriching social interactions in a supportive college environment. All of our programs are meant for enrichment and are not-for-credit, meaning students don’t have the pressure of formal grades.
“I just want to thank you, the counselors, staff, medical school, the university, the instructors, presenters and EVERYONE involved with this program for providing such an amazing opportunity and experience for Aria. She was safe, she was engaged, challenged, motivated, intrigued, encouraged, enlightened, informed, equipped, and armed for the next decisions she has to make.”
Kimberly, parent of a Pre-College Programs student

A Saturday full of STEM exploration! 🔬⚙️
This past Saturday, our College LAUNCH scholars gathered at Wake Downtown to explore opportunities in physics and engineering!
Through hands-on demonstrations, interactive activities, and conversations with Wake Forest faculty and students, scholars gained insight into STEM-related fields and future career pathways.
A special thank you to the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), and Theta Tau for leading engaging rotations throughout the day!
We`re also grateful to our Wake Forest physics and engineering faculty and student volunteers for sharing their time, expertise, and enthusiasm with our scholars. Thank you for helping make this Summit such a meaningful experience!
