The program offers a unique model allowing students to explore two academic majors in depth during the week, providing a firsthand look at college life and learning at a top public research university.
The UNC Exercise and Sport Science (EXSS) Pre-College Program, part of the Explore@UNC initiative, offers high school students an immersive, one-week on-campus experience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Participants delve into various EXSS degree paths, including Exercise & Sport Science (BS/BA), Fitness Professional (BA), and Sport Administration (BA). The program provides a genuine taste of university life and academic exploration, allowing students to tour state-of-the-art facilities such as research labs, the sports medicine center, and campus recreation spaces. Students meet faculty, current students, and alumni, gaining insights into potential career trajectories and high-impact experiences like research and internships. A key component involves sitting in on a real EXSS summer school course to understand what it's like to be a university student. This program helps students clarify their interests and make more confident choices about future college majors and careers in the dynamic fields of sports, human performance, and health.
Students travel to campus daily, exploring two academic majors in depth over the week, with each major covered in a two-day track. Days typically involve learning about campus resources, attending academic sessions with faculty, staff, and alumni, and touring labs and facilities to understand what a specific major entails.
This program is ideal for high school students energized by sports, human performance, and helping people live healthier lives, who want to explore college life and academic paths in Exercise and Sport Science.
