Interested in spending the summer studying in the United States on a college campus overlooking the New York City skyline? Then come to a Pre-College Program at Stevens! Offering programs in engineering, science, technology, business, society and the arts, our programs are carefully designed by our faculty to be creative, project-driven and hands-on immersions that give you not just real college experience, but real-world experience too. By night you’ll live in the residence halls with other international and American students, and by day you’ll visit major corporations, work on a tangible projects and learn alongside experts.
Program Pairing
Many of our international students choose to participate in more than one program during the summer, to make the most of their time in the United States. We offer one-week and two-week programs – pair as many programs as you like as long as the program dates don’t overlap!
Application Documents
Complete the online Stevens Pre-College Programs application. As part of the application, you will:
Provide contact and school information
Upload your unofficial high school transcript
Select which program(s) you are interested in applying for
Complete two short answer prompts
Indicate interest in consideration for financial aid
Language Proficiency
If English is not your first language, we do not require the TOEFL as part of your application; however, students who participate in our Pre-College programs must have full proficiency in English – listening, speaking, writing and reading – in order to be successful in our programs. To get a better idea, if you decide to apply to Stevens for undergraduate study, you are required to demonstrate English proficiency.
Travel
Students are responsible for covering their own travel costs. However, for students traveling by air to Newark Liberty International Airport, a staff member from Stevens will be waiting at the airport to greet you and provide transportation to Stevens at no additional cost to you! More information will be shared with enrolled applicants.
Visa
Stevens Institute of Technology does not issue Form I-20 for the purpose of attaining F-1 visa status to summer program participants. Students wishing to participate in the summer program may either attain a B-2 tourist visa to participate in a short course of study which is recreational, and less than 18 hours per week, or be a citizen or national of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Please note that under the Visa Waiver Program, you must first have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval before you travel. Citizens of Canada and Bermuda generally do not need tourist visas to enter the U.S.
You may contact the Office of Pre-College Programs at [email protected] to request a program information letter to accompany your application for a B-2 visa.
