CTEQ Pre-College Summer Program

Each summer, high school students from across New England and around the country join Assumption University professors for a competitive pre-college program that introduces rising high school seniors to undergraduate studies in the liberal arts. Living on Assumption University’s 185-acre campus for the week, participating students gain firsthand experience of studying the humanities in a university setting. Our pre-college program gives high school students the opportunity to study great works of philosophy, literature, art, political science, and theology with nationally known faculty—as they simultaneously meet new friends and experience what collegiate academic and social life is like.
