(PREFACE) Summer Bridge Program

The Pre-Freshman and Cooperative Education (PREFACE) Program is a summer enrichment program that was initiated in 1973. The program is designed to help participants make a smooth transition from high school to the university and to accelerate progress through the freshman engineering curriculum. PREFACE consists of a six-week academic component in which participants attend classes in physics, chemistry, mathematics, introduction to engineering, and English. Following the academic component, the program attempts to place students in a six-week engineering-related job. Students may apply for the program during their senior year of high school. Students may complete the on-line application and submit additional paperwork separately. Click here for the Preface Application in PDF Format. (Click here to download Acrobat Reader.)
