Summer High School Programs

Fairfield University is proud to offer a variety of options for high school students over the summer, including residential immersion programs, courses for commuting students, and online courses for college credit. Our programs offers students the opportunity to live on campus, earn college credits, and meet classmates from around the country – all while experiencing the excitement of college life.

Non-Credit, Residential Opportunities

Fairfield Pre-College Immersion Program

Our non-credit residential Pre-College Immersion Program allows high school students to experience college life on the beautiful Fairfield University campus while learning from some of our most engaging professors.

BASE Camp

Fairfield University’s BASE (Broadening Access to Science Education) Camp engages female high school students in hands-on, research-based experiences in the natural sciences and mathematics, in an effort to inform and excite them about the process of science. The next BASE Camp will be held in July 2021.

Credit-Bearing Residential & Commuter Opportunities

University Prep

Fairfield University's University Prep program is a great way for rising junior and senior high school students to earn college credit through a dynamic residential college experience. Students can select from an array of courses in the sciences, arts, humanities, and social sciences while experience campus life.

Summer College Courses for High School Students

Fairfield University offers a full range of intensive courses designed to give commuting high school students an authentic college experience while earning credits that can be applied toward high school or college. Courses are recommended for students who are entering or are currently in their sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school.

Residence & Student Life

A college experience is not complete without a residential component. High school students participating in the University’s Pre-College Immersion, Summer Scholars, and BASE Camp programs will have the opportunity to experience college life while taking advantage of the many amenities offered on Fairfield’s beautiful 200-acre campus.
