    Applications for the Hoya Summer High School Sessions are closed, but you can still explore your academic passions with the Pre-College Online Program. Study anywhere, anytime, on your schedule.

    Explore the advantages and challenges of managing your own enterprise in the Entrepreneurship Academy. Our two-week program takes an in-depth look at choosing a start-up, prototype testing, market research, social innovation, global business, and the operations of running your own business.

    Bridging theory and practice, you will learn the basics of design thinking and brainstorming; mold your ideas into strong, promising business plans; and participate in teams in a final pitch competition. With an emphasis on personal development, our program incorporates practical, hands-on experience to help you build and improve your public speaking and communications skills, networking strategies, and team-building techniques all while exploring the world of entrepreneurship.

    The program offers so much–from the off-site visits to the daily lectures and the on campus activities. The lectures were interesting, meeting new people was great and the off-site visits were interactive and intriguing.
