Our outstanding faculty, some of whom also teach at Columbia University, bring to the classroom a wealth of scholarly and professional experiences. You will be encouraged to develop your own thoughts and ideas and to share these ideas with fellow students. Classes are small so that you can receive individual attention, engage in lively discussion, and have opportunities for independent projects. The workload is demanding, which will help you to learn to manage your time more effectively once you are in college. Students are required to enroll in two classes.
Classes meet four days a week in morning and afternoon sessions.
The structure of the courses allows New York City to become an integral part of many of the classes. For a list of our course offerings, click here . Every Wednesday is set aside for the fieldwork component of the program where students have the opportunity to visit businesses and institutions in the city. Student are also able to participate in community service as part of their fieldwork. Making a difference in the community is an important aspect of college life, and our program coordinators organize many opportunities for you to volunteer your time in community service.
