The
College Project
Through a series of interactive seminars The College Project grants exceptional high school juniors the opportunity to explore a broad range of academic disciplines that are offered at liberal arts and science colleges. Junior Year Seminar: In the spring of their junior year, students meet after school on the Brooklyn Campus for a weekly series of seminars in different academic disciplines. Each week an LIU professor conducts a seminar or leads a group discussion which is designed to introduce students to the methods of investigation and analysis used in that professor's discipline. There is an emphasis on active student participation, group learning, and the development of critical thinking skills.
