HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR

COLLEGE PREP AT SETON HALL UNIVERSITY

PRE-COLLEGE SUMMER SESSIONS JULY 8 - AUGUST 9, 2013

CREDIT AND NON-CREDIT COURSES TAUGHT BY RENOWNED FACULTY ENABLE STUDENTS TO EXPAND HORIZONS WITH TOP SUMMER EXPERIENCE 

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ  — Seton Hall University (www.shu.edu), one of the country’s leading Catholic universities, has announced a special summer session series of course offerings for high school students.  Credit and non-credit courses, camps, and institutes provide an opportunity for students to gain college credit, enhance their college applications, and sharpen their academic skills.

“My career in higher education has taught me that our real goal is to help young people develop a life-long love of learning,” notes Dr. Nancy Low-Hogan, Dean of Continuing Education and Professional Studies. “Seton Hall’s Summer Sessions are designed to give high school students opportunities to explore academics and discover what ignites their imagination.”

In addition to “learning what they love,” students can get a head start on their college education by taking courses that lighten their academic load during their freshman year or improve their writing skills in preparation for the SATs, college application essays, and college-level coursework.

“Learn What You Love” Pre-College Summer Sessions run from July 8 to August 9*.  Credit-bearing college courses include: Principles of Economics, Intermediate Algebra, Oral Communications, United States Politics, Intro to Psychology, Intro to Social Work, and more.  Students also can enroll in non-credit summer camps and institutes such as Video Game Programming, Criminal Justice Careers, Get into College with Great Writing, Writing for College Success, Fiction Writing, and more.

To encourage high school students to explore topics of interest and to try multiple courses, the University is offering its Pre-College Summer Sessions credit-bearing courses at 50% off regular tuition rates.  Students who enroll in more than one non-credit course receive a $50 discount per course.
