Twelve sample university courses ranging from stage production to physics will be offered at Washington University this summer for college bound high school juniors.
The workshops and seminars, which range from one day to one month, are designed to give students an opportunity to experience college level courses and consider possible majors and careers. Fees range from $1 to $85, depending on program length and materials.
The sample college will begin Monday, June 7, with a month-long art workshop. The course will include projects in drawing, paintings, sculpture and design. All participants who complete the program will be awarded certificates.
Five programs will begin on Monday, June 14. A stage production workshop which runs through July 2 will give students a chance to work backstage in the University’s Edison Theatre under faculty supervision. Students will design and build sets, make costumes and run lights for summer stock performances. Other programs are jazz and dance workshops, a cluster of courses in theoretical and applied sciences, and a seminar in business management.
A series of seminars in the social sciences (anthropology, psychology, sociology, economics and political science) will be held June 21-25.
Five one-day courses will be offered. They are: architecture (June 16); counseling and career resources (June 28); prelaw and law (June 29), and black studies and library research (both June 30). Enrollment is limited. Interested students should contact their high school counselors or call Washington University 863-0100, ext. 4241.
