About

Stevens Institute of Technology’s Pre-College Programs offer high school students an immersive introduction to a specialized STEM environment. For the 2026 cycle, the university distinguishes between its Summer Residential Program and its For-Credit Program. The Residential Program consists of one- and two-week non-credit immersions on the Hoboken campus, where students live in residence halls and complete hands-on projects in labs like Cybersecurity or Biomedical Engineering. Conversely, the For-Credit Program allows rising juniors and seniors to earn Stevens undergraduate credit through seven-week synchronous online courses in fields such as Calculus, Biology, and Management. Admission is selective, requiring a 3.0 GPA and a personal statement. A unique 2026 benefit is the Pre-College Excellence Scholarship, a merit award for alumni of the residential program who eventually enroll as undergraduates. This model is ideal for students seeking STEM academics at a highly regarded polytechnic research institute.
