Pre-Orientation

Begin your college career with Kaplan Pre-orientation!

Students accepted into the Kaplan Humanities Scholars Program are invited to participate in the Kaplan Pre-Orientation program: an all-expense paid three-day introduction to the humanities in Chicagoland!

The Kaplan Scholars Pre-Orientation is designed to foster student engagement with some of the best cultural programs on offer in the area—and through experiential learning—to begin participating in Kaplan's intellectual conversations and start developing friendships with fellow Kaplan Scholars.

Past Pre-Orientation excursions have included destinations such as Steppenwolf Theatre, The Second City-Chicago, Chicago Botanic Garden, The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center, Garfield Park Conservatory, Music Box Theatre, the American Writers Museum, and much, much more!
