We are thrilled to be planning to head back to Northwestern University in 2023! Founded in 1851, Northwestern is one of the country’s leading private research and teaching universities. This world-ranked, prestigious school is adjacent to Lake Michigan. The historic culture of nearby Chicago is rich with landmark architecture, visual arts, and strong musical roots in blues, soul, and jazz.

The Duke Pre-College Program provides advanced academic opportunities and an introduction to the college experience to students currently in grades 6-11. Our courses are created to give students access to cutting-edge curriculum and technology beyond the average classroom while connecting them with transcendent peers from around the world and influential professionals in their future field. In addition to accessing university facilities and labs, our students interact and learn from renowned faculty and researchers. Participants gain valuable experiences that prepare them not only for their college curriculum and careers to follow, but also their futures as empowered, influential leaders.

Current 8th-11th grade students can apply (including rising 9th grade students and 18-year-old students.) Different courses will be available 9:00-10:30 a.m. EST and 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. EST every weekday. Students will only attend 1.5 hours of synchronous sessions and have asynchronous sessions on their own and within groups as outlined by the instructor.

Great Books is proud to return to the campus of Haverford College, one of America's leading liberal arts colleges.
