Courses Announced for Emory's Summer Pre-College Program

Emory College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to announce course offerings in this summer’s 2010 Pre-College Program for high school students.  The Pre-College Program allows talented rising high school juniors and seniors to experience Emory’s distinctive academic and residential community.

The Pre-College experience can be transformational: both fun and academically focused. Students may enhance their academic portfolio and earn college credit in six-week undergraduate courses or enroll in two-week, non-credit courses for personal enrichment without the pressures of a grade.  All classes are taught by committed Emory faculty who enjoy teaching and guiding prospective college students. The topics and courses allow for self-discovery, the chance to explore a possible major or career field, or enjoy that heightened level of creative expression and exposure that's not always available in the high school curriculum.

Six-week credit courses are offered in disciplines including Biology, Economics, Mathematics, Film Studies, Languages, Theater Studies, Social Sciences and Visual Arts. Two-week non-credit courses span similar subject areas and include classes such as “Globalization: The Sociology of a Shrinking World,” “Lawyer as Advocate and Advisor,” “Spectacular Soundtracks: Music in Movies,” “Public Health Career Opportunities and Practices,” “Medicines for Mental Health,” “Ethics and Bioethics” and the Science of Sustainability Institute. Courses run from May 8 through August 6.
