Pace University - New York

Grades: 10-11 (co-ed)

A 7 day program designed for high school sophomores and juniors to experience university courses and life, while safely exploring New York City!

All students will come together for our “Entering University Life” Seminar.  This Seminar will bring in university faculty and staff that will explain what universities look for in a strong admissions essay, how you can “beef up” your applications and what to expect when you get to college.  The Seminar will provide a host of activities designed to get you prepared for the trips to universities, meetings with faculty, staff and admissions and the hard decisions you'll have to make when deciding what university is right FOR YOU!

The 2007 Summer Scholars Course Tracks are:

*American Politics

*Model United Nations

*Film Studies

*Behind the Scenes - Lighting and Stage Production

*On Broadway - Acting Skills

*Legal Studies

*Forensic Science

*Health & the Environment

*Art Studies - Painting and Design

The classroom experience will be matched with active exploration of the New York City cultural experience, Broadway theater, and events specifically designed for the track that you choose.  You will also get the chance to mix with faculty, current Pace students, and alumni, and your parents will be invited for opening and concluding dinners to meet faculty and administrators.  At the conclusion of the program you will receive a certificate and a summary of the experience, which can be added to your college application portfolio.
