Get a head start on your college education
Accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), Quinnipiac University designed QU Academy to enable dedicated high school students to take college-level communications courses from the comfort of their own classrooms.
Taught by high school instructors certified by Quinnipiac’s School of Communications, these courses provide a deep, hands-on exploration of 21st-century journalism, interactive design, film production, and many other media industry subjects. If you’re a member of your high school’s radio or TV station, love chasing down a story for the school paper, or are already writing and shooting your own short films, then this is an incredible opportunity to fine-tune your abilities and make your college application stand out in the eyes of admissions representatives.
With QU Academy, you’ll graduate having:
- A strong understanding of college-level material
- An official transcript with transferable college courses and credits from a competitive university
- An early advantage in your future field of study
Cost: $50 per credit, plus a $25, nonrefundable administrative/processing fee.
