Pre-College Academy (PCA) 2011 Brochure

The Pre-College Academy (PCA) is a six-week college-preparatory summer program hosted by the Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) at the University of California, Berkeley.  For over 20 years, PCA has provided intensive academic enrichment for EAOP students from partner high schools in the Bay Area.  PCA prepares students for their academic and professional future by providing them with the opportunity to share in the University of California’s tradition of educational excellence and diversity.  PCA prepares students for academic success in the following school year, including excellence in classes that meet the University of California’s A-G subject requirements and enrollment in Honors and Advanced Placement courses.

PCA offers students rigorous coursework, college-style expectations and an environment of challenging academic camaraderie.  Students have the choice between enrolling in a College Writing or a Math course.  All students attend weekly activity sessions that may range in content from career exploration and college counseling, to social events.  All classes are offered on the UC Berkeley campus.
