Summer Design Pre-College Academy

The UMass Amherst Pre-College Summer Design Academy provides an opportunity for high school students interested in architecture, landscape architecture, urban or interior design the opportunity to experience the profession and see firsthand the kinds of activities that take place in a university design program.

The Design Academy's interactive educational experiences include design exercises, hands-on building and model-making activities, a visit to an architecture office and a construction project as well as lectures, discussions, and campus tours.

The 2012 Summer Design Academy is a two week program running from July 7-20th, from 9am -4pm.
There are two ways to participate:
· the non-residential option for students who will commute to campus each day.
· the residential option for students who will stay on campus for the two weeks as part of UMass Amherst's Summer College.
