At Precollegiate Programs, we create immersive, collaborative and transformational programs for rising 1st - 12th grade students.
Learning is an experience that can last a lifetime.
Precollegiate Programs serves as a gateway to the higher education experiences that traditional students access at the University of Oklahoma - for our rising 1st - 12th grade students. By collaborating with OU Faculty and Staff from a variety of colleges, we are able to provide immersive programs that lead to transformational experiences that push our students into a lifetime of learning, because learning is a lifelong experience.
As spring begins to across campus, the sprout of summer is already beginning to emerge at Precollegiate Programs.
This is the season when ideas grow, plans take shape, and classrooms begin to fill. Across our programs, we are building on the strong foundation created by Mini College, Horizons, and Precollegiate Nights—each designed to deliver immersive, collaborative, and transformative experiences for our students.
Registration for Mini College 2026 is now open, and families can look ahead to updates for Horizons 2026, the 2026 Model UN Conference, and our expanding 2026 Summer Experiences. We are also preparing to launch Project Crossroads, a new opportunity designed for rising 9th–12th grade students.
What begins in the spring becomes a season of discovery in the summer. The work we’re doing now is planting the seeds for what’s next.

The OU Model United Nations Conference offers current 9th - 12th grade student organizations the opportunity to engage in global diplomacy, critical thinking, speech and debate through a one day, simulated experience of the Model UN General Assembly.
A fun Friday night experience for current 1st–6th grade students. Kids enjoy hands-on activities, dinner, and a movie while parents get a well-deserved evening to themselves. It’s a safe, engaging space for kids to try new things, make friends, and build confidence outside of school.
A week-long summer program for rising 7th–8th graders. Students dive into hands-on activities led by OU faculty, exploring different fields of study and getting a taste of the college experience. It’s a chance to explore future possibilities and gain inspiration for the road ahead.
Nine week-long summer sessions for rising 1st–6th graders. Each day is filled with interactive classes, creative projects, and opportunities to explore new interests on the OU campus. It’s a summer of discovery that encourages curiosity and a love of learning.
