New York University Opportunity Programs
6

After being accepted, you will be required to  participate in a six-week summer program designed to preview the courses that you will be enrolled in the fall.  While using the freshman year books, during the six weeks you will preview 1/3 of the fall semester courses. Here are some of the things you will do:

  • Our summer writing course improves writing and critical reading skills and prepares
         you for college-level writing. The mathematics course will sharpen necessary skills for
         freshman level mathematics.
  • You will participate in a course designed to enhance your critical thinking skills
         and prepare you for required courses in the humanities.
  • If you are a student entering NYU’s Stern School of Business, you will take a preparatory
         economics course, studying concepts and principles of micro- and macroeconomics.
  • Those with a pre-medical major are introduced to college chemistry and calculus.  
  • Preparation is not confined to the classroom or campus. You will visit the city’s museums
         and galleries. You will also become involved in community service with volunteer
         opportunities in various neighborhoods in the city.

Through it all, you will also have access to our Counseling Services to help you make the transition.
