Pre-college Program

Mount Mary's Pre-college Program is an interactive and fun way for Milwaukee area high schools students to explore a women's college and gain skills necessary for success after graduation. Open to young women completing their junior year in high school, the Pre-college program offers two sessions: Summer and School-year.

  • College success strategies (such as time management, note-taking skills)
  • Career exploration (including Myers-Briggs and Discover)
  • Discussions with female leaders in the Milwaukee community
  • Tours and sessions on the main campus of Mount Mary College
  • Field trips within the Milwaukee community

The Summer Pre-college Program is open to young women who have completed grades 9 through 11 in high school. Class size is limited to fifty (with forty reserved for students who have completed the junior year of high school.)

The School-year Program will hold academic, social and cultural activities during the academic year featuring:

  • Information sessions about the Midtown Scholarship Program and the college enrollment process
  • Financial aid workshops to learn about the costs of tuition, room and board, textbooks, scholarships and payment options
  • Sessions on test-taking skills to help prepare students for the ACT exam
  • Workshops focused on providing pre-college students with strategies for success such as time management, note-taking skills and career exploration
  • Activities to help understand the culture of college, including professors' expectations and students' responsibilities
  • Activities to help instill and/or enhance students' cultural identities and leadership skills
