Each year, we welcome high school students from all over the country to our beautiful Alfred University campus to participate in exciting academic institutes and sports clinics.

REGISTER NOW

Alfred University is proud to announce the opening of registration for a comprehensive offering of thirty different Residential Academic Institutes, Residential Sports Clinics, and Day Sports Prospect Clinics. The variety of our Pre-College Programs for 2025 ensure that there is something of interest for every High School student. This is only rivaled by the fact that each Academic Institute or Sports Clinic is staffed by a faculty member or coach, who will be able to both educate and challenge students with a college level experience in a safe and supportive environment.

Below is a complete list of the programs that are running throughout 2025. More information on the details of each Academic Institute and Sports Clinic will be available shortly. Please reach out to Isaac Matson the Pre-College Programs Coordinator with any questions. Make Alfred University part of your year and see why we are “Outside of Ordinary!”
