The Summer Scholars Institute, now in its eleventh year, is a groundbreaking intensive 2 weeks program designed for exceptional current sophomores and juniors eager to experience the atmosphere of college with interactive courses to meet your individual interests.

The 2009 Summer Scholars Institute will run from July 19 to August 2 at our New York City Campus, one of the finest locations in the city, nestled between City Hall Park and South Street Seaport. We have a superior program of study scheduled for you, which includes more than a dozen different “majors” for you to choose from.

Each of our majors is designed to provide you 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 you 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 designed to encourage interaction between students and explore New York City in a safe way.

Because Pace University is committed to academics, we have allotted 15 students maximum in each class.  This way, you are able to receive the specialized attention in the classroom and with the professors that you deserve!  Our professors are ready to provide you with hands on, interactive courses that are definitely going to get you excited for university academic life!
