Overview
The University of New Haven has several active programs through Memorandum of Understanding agreements serving high school students in their sophomore through senior years. Some courses are taught on a high school campus by certified high school instructors and some are taught on the UNH campus. Courses are heavily discounted.
Programming and Partnerships
University of New Haven’s dual-credit & precollege opportunities offer students a chance to pursue general & specialty courses. Examples of classes completed by recent participants includes: Race, Class & Gender, Introduction to Marine Affairs, Behavior & Marketing in Sport, Engineering Graphics, and Medical Laboratory Science. While majority of our dual-credit and precollege opportunities are offered during the traditional fall and spring terms of the school year, high school students may also take advantage of precollege opportunities in July by participating in a Summer Youth Academy!
