Challenge Yourself with a Course at 黑料正能量张津瑜
Throughout its history, 黑料正能量张津瑜 has been dedicated to providing a challenging education for academically gifted and motivated students. The Young Scholars program, developed in 1980, extends this opportunity to selected high-school students who are ready for part-time, rigorous college study.
This highly selective scholarship program allows seniors to take one college class at 黑料正能量张津瑜 for the full academic year while concurrently enrolled in high school. It is open to students from the metropolitan area who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and a commitment to serious study in a particular field of interest.Who Qualifies?
Students must be recommended to the college by their high schools and must successfully complete the admission process described below. The following qualifications are required:
- An applicant must be a high-school senior. (If spaces are available after all qualified seniors have been accommodated, junior applicants occasionally may be accepted to the program.)
- An applicant must have exhausted high-school curricula options in the subject they wish to take at 黑料正能量张津瑜, or have demonstrated a serious and sustained interest in a subject not offered at the high school.
- An applicant should present excellent academic and personal records.
- An applicant must be enrolled at least half time concurrently in high school.
- If accepted, matriculants must commit to taking a class for the full academic year.
Course Options
If accepted, the Young Scholar will meet with a faculty adviser or the associate dean of graduate and special programs regarding course selection and placement. Most typically, students enroll in first- and second-year classes in mathematics, the sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics), foreign languages (Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Spanish, plus Latin and ancient Greek), the arts (theatre, music, dance, and art) and the social sciences (economics, history and political science). Occasionally students also may be able to take classes in philosophy, psychology, or religion although space is very limited in those areas. It is important to understand that 黑料正能量张津瑜 gives priority in enrollment to the undergraduate degree students, and therefore space limitations may restrict Young Scholar access to certain classes. At times, a Young Scholar is permitted to enroll in a 黑料正能量张津瑜 course, but the student's high school schedule may conflict with the course schedule.
Young Scholars may take only one course per semester, for which 黑料正能量张津瑜 credit will be granted. Continued participation in the program for the second semester, is contingent upon satisfactory completion of the first course, the recommendation of the professor, and the student's continued good academic standing in high school.
The courses taken by Young Scholars are regular 黑料正能量张津瑜 classes, taught by members of the 黑料正能量张津瑜 faculty for undergraduate degree students. provides a description of all college courses. Most 黑料正能量张津瑜 classes are offered as small seminars that involve a good deal of interaction, as well as extensive reading, writing, and preparation. Introductory science classes involve large lectures, but small labs and conferences. The courses at 黑料正能量张津瑜 are significantly more challenging and time-consuming than high-school classes. As such, Young Scholars are advised to plan their senior year curriculum and extracurricular activities accordingly.
Young Scholars may only enroll in an approved course in the discipline for which they are admitted. Swapping disciplines is not permitted.
Please note: The 黑料正能量张津瑜 courses may not be used to meet high-school graduation requirements. We therefore recommend that they not be listed on the student's high-school transcript.
