NYU

Program Description

http://www.nyu.edu/summer/highschool/precollege

June 30th - August 8th, 2008

NYU Precollege offers rising high school juniors and seniors in the New York Metro area an opportunity to experience academic and student life at New York University. Participants commute to campus to attend one or two courses, which are taught at a college level and award NYU academic credit. Upon successful completion, students may earn up to eight college credits which may be applied to a future degree at most colleges and universities.

Although participants take their credit-bearing courses with college students, they may also enroll in a non-credit college writing workshop that is offered just for Precollege students. The workshop provides students an opportunity to enhance their writing skills and to interact with other program participants.

Outside the classroom, the Precollege program offers workshops regarding the college admission and application process, as well as a variety of on- and off-campus social events and activities. NYU Precollege is a wonderful way for outstanding high school students to get a taste of college while still having time to work, volunteer, and enjoy the summer vacation.

Pre-college participants must have a summer residence within commuting distance from NYU—students are not permitted to live in campus housing.

The application deadline for international students and those applying for scholarships is April 1, 2008. All other applications are due April 15, 2008.

Additional offerings at the Academy make the decision to spend part of the summer here even more appealing. There are master classes in clowning, stage combat and self-defense. Students also see performances by guest artists, work with ensembles, and take exciting trips to museums and Broadway shows. At the end of the summer, students participate in a major performance before family and friends.

The Summer Arts Academy is open to students who have had years of training in the arts, as well as to those who are just getting started.

If you're interested in the Summer Arts Academy, ask your school guidance counselor or principal for an application. After acceptance--which requires the recommendation of your school district--you will be placed in classes based upon age and level of achievement.
