Student Life

Tulane Pre-College creates opportunities for exceptional and curious students to explore college life in a safe and nurturing environment. Through introductions to college-level academic disciplines and the Tulane experience, high school students begin to imagine how they can pursue their academic interests in and out of the classroom and tackle real-world problems, all while taking their college applications to the next level.
