Course Types
Enrichment
Our weeklong enrichment courses allow rising 9th through 12th graders to expand their academic horizons and explore subjects without the pressure of exams and grades. Students gain in-demand skills in creative problem solving, communication, and research while working on culminating projects. Residential students take two enrichment courses during their stay with us.
Credit-Bearing
Credit-bearing courses offer motivated rising 11th and 12th graders a challenging academic experience whether commuting to or living on campus. Students engage in the same intensive learning as a Tulane first-year course with additional supports. Upon successful completion of each two-week course, students will receive three hours of college credit and an official Tulane transcript.

" What I enjoyed most about my classes were the student-led discussions and the small class size. Every student had the opportunity to speak and share their ideas and comments, which allowed different perspectives to emerge that brought the conversation to unique resolutions that wouldn't have been reached if not all the students got the chance to share." .
