From High School to Higher Ed… in Italian!

Posted in: Inserra, Italian News and Events
A brand-new program that seamlessly links the high school and college learning experience will be offered this summer. Taught by a native speaker instructor and coordinated by an experienced high school teacher on the ¾«Æ·³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÔÚÏß University campus, its aim is to consolidate rising senior students’ intermediate Italian skills on their way to an advanced level. Students will benefit from an engaging college experience on a campus boasting a dynamic Italian program and proximity to New York City and richly Italian local NJ venues.

- Open to rising seniors with demonstrated interest and achievement in Italian
- Earn 3 college credits while still attending high school through the Early-College Program at ¾«Æ·³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÔÚÏß University (the earned credits are fully transferable at ¾«Æ·³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÔÚÏß University, and other universities upon approval)
- Full-immersion (3 weeks, 4 days a week, 84 hours of instruction including lunches and field trips to be conducted in Italian)
- Intensive language and culture course (7 hours a day of classroom and off-campus activities)
