(PRWeb) January 23, 2007 -- Plans are well underway for the 2007 Summer Honors Program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Entering its thirteenth year, the Summer Honors Program will bring over two-hundred high-achieving high school students from around the country to the IUP campus for a two-week college experience in July. It is an excellent opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to spend two weeks as a college student.


The Summer Honors Program is a focused academic experience with students engaging outstanding IUP faculty in over thirty hours of small-class instruction. SHP faculty are all actively engaged in their field of study--faculty teaching this summer include a former member of the Seattle Opera, a historian engaged in an underwater archeological dig off the coast of Cypress and a forensic pathologist, to name a few.

Course offerings this summer will again represent the multitude of disciplines offered at IUP. Planned courses include: investment management training, environmental ecology through applied physics, genetic engineering and a performance-based clinic for double-reed players that will include master's classes. Other class offerings include an FBI sponsored forensics course, a comparative analysis of film and literature and a fine arts studio focusing on performing arts of voice, dance and visual arts.
