How to Choose a Precollege Course
Consider This
Selecting a Precollege course takes a bit of research on the student's part. Course selection is based on your major of interest, abilities, overall passion for the subject and availability. Choose a course you'll be excited about and one that fits your schedule!
Step 1: Time Commitment
Choose between 4-day workshops (HSX, JSX) or 10-day high school classes (HAC, HAD, HAR, HFA, etc.)
Classes for high school students represent specific FIT majors. These 10-day classes are very popular among students preparing for art and design colleges and exploring FIT majors.
Workshops focus on a specific set of skills or interests that may span several majors. These 4-day workshops for high school and middle school students are perfect for students who are hobbyists or are new to Precollege.
Step 2: Area of Interest
Choose from our many courses related to a specific major, or choose a class that focuses on a skill you'd like to develop.
