Summer@Brown: Summer Session Credit Courses
Pre-College Programs at Brown University – Summer 2009
Rising or graduated high school seniors who choose Summer Session Credit Courses earn college credit in these seven-week courses, studying side-by-side with Brown undergraduates. Successful completion of any challenging Summer Session Credit Course demonstrates a student is ready for rigorous Ivy-level academic work.
Summer Session Credit Courses are carefully selected from existing courses in the Brown undergraduate curriculum. Each course is approved by Brown’s College Curriculum Council for academic quality, appropriate workload, and equivalency to first-year Brown courses.
The standard workload for residential students in the Summer Session Credit Course program is two courses - commuter students may take one course. In most courses, students are evaluated by an "A", "B", "C", or "NC" grade. In some courses (noted in the individual course descriptions), students are evaluated on a satisfactory/no-credit basis, rather than a letter grade.
