Non-Credit, Residential Opportunities
Fairfield Pre-College Immersion Program

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.
