The 2009 Summer Scholars Institute will run from July 19^th to August 1^st at our New York City Campus, nestled between City Hall Park and South Street Seaport. We have a rigorous and challenging program of study scheduled for students, which includes nearly a dozen “majors” to choose from.Each of our majors is designed to provide students with an in-depth and interactive classroom experience in a particular field of study. They are all taught by our world-class Pace University faculty. All of the courses offered in the Summer Scholars Institute are in fact part of our undergraduate curricula, giving students a true sense of what the college classroom is like. Each major has 2 courses, a morning course and an afternoon course. In the evenings, all students come together for different activities and seminars designed to help the navigation process of college applications, admissions essays, current events and the vast culture of New York City! The Summer Scholars classroom experience is paired with active exploration of New York City, Broadway theatre, and events specifically designed for your chosen major for the week. Students will get to mix with Pace University faculty, staff, current students, Summer Scholars alumni, and students from all over the country.  Parents are invited to attend the opening and closing receptions, where they can meet Summer Scholars staff and professors.  At the conclusion of the program, students receive a Certificate of Course Completion, which is an excellent addition to any college application portfolio.We draw students to the Summer Scholars Institute from near and far, so students have the opportunity to meet fellow students from all over the country. Students also have the option of staying on campus in the dorms with us as a resident student or commuting from home each day.
