The Pre-Collegiate Development Program (PCDP) at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS), is a system-wide, institutionally funded academic program for college-bound high school and middle school students. It is designed to motivate and prepare first generation students in pursuit of their higher educational goals. PCDP is structured to ensure that students are academically prepared to enroll in, and be successful at UCCS, the University of Colorado system or any other postsecondary institution of the students' choice.

The mission of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Pre-Collegiate Program is to provide academically motivated first generation students with the academic preparation, opportunity, support and exposure necessary to attain a higher education degree and reach their potential through Saturday Science Academy workshops, and Summer Academic Institute courses.

Pre-Collegiate students have the opportunity to learn new subjects, acquire better study skills, practice leadership and gain college credit while still enrolled in high school!
