Colleges Many high school students wish to get a head start on acquiring college credits or preparing themselves for the college experience. Whether during the normal school day, on weekends or over the summer, students have access to a variety of programs designed to accomplish that goal. CAP courses are taught by carefully selected high school faculty who are trained in special workshops by USI faculty members. NOW courses from the IU Independent Study Program enable high school students to get a jump on college while meeting high school course requirements.
All courses are introductory-level university courses.
Many meet basic freshman- level requirements and others will prepare students for college academics. The Purdue University School of Education offers a series of programs for students in grades 9-12. In addition to concentrated study, students are involved in cultural and recreational activities that help them capture the spirit of the college atmosphere and enjoy the beauty of the Bloomington campus. Programs include the High School Journalism Institute, College Audition Preparation, and the Honors Program in Foreign Languages. ACP gives high school seniors an opportunity to take college classes in their own high schools.
