Overview

The Princeton Social Science Academy (PSSA), a two-week summer academic taught by Princeton University faculty, presents a valuable opportunity for high school students to delve deeper into the study of social sciences. Hosted on the historic campus of The Peddie School, the PSSA brings together talented, academically inclined students from around the world to explore subjects ranging from Sociology to Anthropology, Economics, and Political Science. Throughout the program, students engage closely with faculty in a variety of formats including lectures, group discussions, practical fieldwork, and the production of social science research project proposals — all aimed at broadening students' academic horizons while fostering critical thinking, research skills, and a global perspective. Why Choose PSSA? Princeton Faculty-Led Program: The PSSA is led by renowned Princeton sociologist Dr. Shamus Khan, with guest lectures provided by other Princeton faculty from a wide range of social science disciplines. Interdisciplinary Social Science Learning: Students have the chance to study social science subjects like Economics, Sociology, and Political Science, which are rarely a focus of other pre-college summer programs. Research & Discussion-Based Approach: The program emphasizes discussion-based learning, research methodology training, and collaborative group projects. The PSSA provides students with exposure to college-level social science studies under the guidance of Ivy League faculty, while preparing them for future academic and leadership opportunities. Note: The 2026 MasterScholar Princeton Social Science Academy (PSSA) will be held on campus at The Peddie School in Hightstown, NJ.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
