Pre-College Summer Program
About the Program
Pre-College is a fun and affordable way for high school sophomores, juniors, seniors or entering college freshmen to study art and design at the college-level and get connected with Boston’s art and design scene. This 5-week summer program gives you a taste of the visual arts basics that all artists and designers must know– Drawing, 2- and 3-Dimensional Design and Painting. We’ll also explore some of the city’s museums and galleries, and you’ll get a chance to visit the studios of practicing artists and designers to see how they are making a living with their art.
Develop a visual arts portfolio for college admission
Pre-College is more than just a great way to explore your creative interests. If you’re thinking of studying art and design in college, we’ll teach you how to prepare and present a portfolio for admission. And if you’re entering your senior year or are a recent grad who plans to come to Suffolk’s School of Art & Design, find out more (PDF) about how the Pre-College Program can be used to waive the portfolio requirement for admissions to our Bachelor of Fine Arts Programs in Graphic Design, Illustration, Interior Design and Fine Arts.
