UNE plans summer programs for high school students featured in Courier

The University of New England will launch its for-credit Early College program for high school students July 11 to 23. UNE developed the hands-on program that will allow students to experience college life on the Maine coast this summer, while earning three college credits. Students who participate in the Early College program will study one of four areas: applied math, history, neuroscience or writing.  Students should be entering their junior or senior year of high school in fall 2010, and may live on campus or commute from home.
