Pre-Collegiate Academy (PCA)

PCA offers academic enrichment, service learning, and a six-week summer, residential experience for high achieving, low-income junior and senior high school students from Los Angeles. Scholars take a math and writing course, receive tutoring by current Cal undergraduates, and learn how to write college essays. Students are exposed to leadership seminars, community service projects, collegiate seminars, and various cultural activities. In the second summer, the Scholars participate in a ten-day reunion on the Berkeley campus, to help prepare them for the admission process.
