Pre-College 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.

Study Art & Design (in Boston) this Summer

This five-week summer program gives you a taste of the visual basics that all artists and designers must know. Students in the program will experience college-level instruction, projects, and critiques, and develop their skills in drawing and 2D/3D design.

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 study Art & Design at Suffolk, find out more about how the Pre-College Program can be used to waive the portfolio requirement for admission to our programs in Graphic Design, Interior Design, and Studio Art.
