Taste of College for High School Seniors and Senior Citizens

The Taste of College program is a special admissions program to encourage currently enrolled high school juniors and seniors who show exceptional academic accomplishments to participate in college-level courses. Students need to present an application, a letter of recommendation from their high school guidance counselor, and a high school transcript. Students will receive three college credits after successful completion of the course. Also, adults 62 years of age or older may take college courses on a seat-available basis. Selected course offerings vary each semester. Students may take a maximum of one course (3 credits) each semester, for a maximum of four courses (12 credits) throughout the Taste of College program. All courses must be completed on campus, and online courses are not permitted to be taken when participating in the Taste of College program. High school juniors and seniors must be recommended by their high school counselor and should contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office at 203-371-7880 for information. Senior citizens should contact Undergraduate Part-Time Admissions for more information.
