Since
1981, the Bridge Programs have provided New
York City high school students a challenging academic experience
at the college level. These programs, sponsored by the University
Honors Program, offer a variety of experiences for students
with a broad range of academic abilities.
We are
particularly interested in helping students understand that
in college they take on greater responsibility for making
their own academic decisions. All of our campus-based programs
involve counseling about making responsible academic choices.
In most of our programs there is a strong emphasis on learning
in groups to develop a sense of participation and active involvement,
which are crucial tools for a successful education.
The Brooklyn
Campus offers four ways to gain a college experience, each
one unique in structure and approach. The Senior Bridge
Program gives high-achieving seniors the opportunity to
take introductory level undergraduate courses on campus. The
College Project introduces outstanding high school juniors
to the nature of college academic life through weekly spring
semester seminars in different disciplines. Each summer the
BASIS Program offers students between their junior
and senior years an interdisciplinary college course to sharpen
thinking and communications skills, as well as to increase
motivation for attending college. The Health Professions
Project offers students an opportunity to explore the
allied heath professions in a six-week interactive seminar
series.
