! College of Will iam & Mary – Pre-College Programs 2015

Summer Program in Early American History for HS Students A program for high school juniors and seniors… Application Deadline: April 24, 2015 Pre-Collegiate Summer Program: First Session June 28, 2015 - July 18, 2015 Pre-Collegiate Summer Program: Second Session July 19, 2015 - August 8, 2015 This fast-paced, in-depth and immersive course will offer a variety of approaches to studying the past, but the chief feature will be classes conducted "on site" at the abundant historic places in the Chesapeake region. Readings and classroom work at the College will set the stage for the site visits by providing essential background on the wider context of American development. A Pre-Collegiate student tries on a servant's livery at the Peyton Randolph House. Instructors will use archaeology sites, surviving period structures, historic landscapes, battlefields, and a series of museums to guide students in a search for the American past. Students will take one course, History 216, and may chose from the topic From the Founding of Jamestown through the American Revolution, or From the American Revolution through the American Civil War. The class From the Founding of Jamestown through the American Revolution begins where the old world societies of Europe and Africa collided with the new world society of Native Americans on the banks of the nearby James River early in the seventeenth century and follows the American saga for nearly two hundred years through the Revolutionary Era at the end of the eighteenth century. From the American Revolution through the American Civil War picks up with the American victory at nearby Yorktown during the struggle for independence and continues the story through the fall of the Confederate capital at Richmond to Union forces in 1865.

! St. Mary’s College of Maryland: Historical Archaeology Field School

Explore America’s Past at Historic St. Mary’s City

The 2015 Field School runs May 26 – August 1. Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC), in association with St. Mary’s College of Maryland, announces its 2015 field school in historical archaeology. HSMC is a state-supported, outdoor museum located at the site of Maryland’s first capital (1634-1694). The main focus of this summer’s excavations is on the yards directly adjacent to the Calvert House. Built in the first decade of Maryland’s settlement by Leonard Calvert, the first Governor, it served as the statehouse of the Province until 1676. Previous testing in the back yard revealed the presence of numerous fences, borrow pits, several outbuildings and the ditch of a 1645 fort. Excavations will seek to better define the fences, identify outbuildings, and explore selected features to aid in dating the development of this landscape. For the student, the program is an intensive, 10 week experience in Colonial archaeology. The first week includes lectures on history, archaeological methods and material culture studies. Students learn artifact identification by working with one of the best archaeological collections of 17th-century, Colonial material in the country.

During the following weeks, students participate in excavation, recording and analysis. Guest scholars speak on the history and architecture of the Chesapeake region. Field trips to nearby archaeological sites in Maryland and Virginia are planned. Students will also have the rare opportunity to learn about and help sail the MARYLAND DOVE, a replica of a 17th-century, square-rigged tobacco ship. The HSMC field school is designed for students in American Studies, Anthropology, Archaeology, History, and Museum Studies. Students may register for either Anthropology or History credits. Prior experience or course work is not required. The ability to engage in active physical labor is essential. A total of eight (8) credit hours are offered through St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a state honors college dedicated to the Liberal Arts. The program costs $1560 which covers tuition. There is a $60 fee to cover the cost of the major field trips. Housing is available at a reduced cost through the college. Transportation, food and entertainment are the responsibility of the student. HSMC is located two hours south of Washington, D.C. in Southern Maryland.

Summer College offers a variety of programs ranging from architecture to web design. Our goal is to make sure we’re offering programs that reflect the richness and diversity of the majors and minors at Syracuse University. We have credit and noncredit programs that run from 2-, 3-, and 6-week programs.

Summer 2015 dates: July 6 – August 14, 2015

6-Week Programs: All courses are college-level, credit-bearing courses. Students earn up to seven college credits. Programs and courses are offered in many areas of study and in two enrollment types: programs/courses that are exclusive to Summer College students and programs/courses that are open to both Summer College students and SU students.

3-Week Programs: Summer College offers a 3-week non-credit session in Acting & Musical Theater that enables students to gain college level exposure to the theater arts, develop more confidence in preparation for their college auditions, and work toward an end-of-program exhibition of student work.

2-Week Programs: Summer College provides 2-week options that enable students to gain many of the benefits of the 6-week experience in a shorter format. All programs work with University faculty and instructors and have an intensive schedule in each area of study.

Outside the classroom, students experience all that SU has to offer, from recreational and academic services to residential activities and weekend trips. They are given daily freedoms that come with the college experience and are more closely supervised at night (with an RA-to-student ratio of 1:12).
