about

Courses are open to highly qualified and motivated high school juniors and seniors, whose high school counselor or principal recommends them for college-level study. A limited number of seats are available. The objectives of the program are to allow students to explore new subject areas, and possible career opportunities, or study a subject in greater depth than may be possible in high school.

Credit earned will appear on a Siena University transcript. Students receive a Siena I.D. card for the duration of their enrollment that will entitle them to full privileges on campus, which include use of the Marcelle Athletic Complex, computer labs, student computer accounts, the J. Spencer and Patricia Standish Library, and more. Registration of students is managed by the Registrar’s Office Staff. The office can be contacted at registrar@siena.edu or (518) 783-2312. There is no option for residential status.

TUITION RATES

Currently, a Siena University three-credit undergraduate course would cost $2,025. Students registered for the High School Scholars Program receive a discounted rate of just $750 per course, plus the cost of any textbook(s). Students will receive a letter grade and full college credit for a completed course. Tuition costs are subject to change prior to the start of the given academic term. Instructors will be advised of a High School Scholar in their classes.
