Job Description ABOUT US

The Division of Pre-College and Undergraduate Programs is dedicated to ensuring a supportive, challenging, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate living and learning environment for the approximately 6,000 pre-college students who hail from all 50 states in the U.S. and over 70 countries.

Brown University's Pre-College Programs offer high school students (13-18 years old) an opportunity to study a wide range of liberal arts subjects that reflect the breadth of Brown's undergraduate Open Curriculum while strengthening their connection to a robust community of peer scholars from around the world. Students develop personal and social skills that are critical to success in the college setting and get a feel for what college life is like - the responsibility, the freedom, and the new friendships.
