How to Choose Courses

In the following pages you will find a variety of courses. As you read through the descriptions, keep these questions in mind:

1. Am I eligible to take this course?

First, check the eligibility information. You may be eligible for Humanities and Writing courses, Math and Science courses, or both.
Second, make sure you have satisfied any prerequisites listed in the course description. Documentation (a copy of your report card, for example) must accompany your application.

2. How does this course fit with or broaden my academic interests, and will I enjoy studying this subject intensively for three weeks?

Link to a sample syllabus from our online catalog at www.cty.jhu.edu/summer or call us at 410-735-6277 or email ctyinfo@jhu.edu to request one.
Review the sample texts. Though texts may change every year, the samples will give you an idea of the level of the course and whether or not the material interests you.
If you have more detailed questions about a specific course, please call 410-735-6277 or email ctyinfo@jhu.edu and ask to speak to the summer programs staff member responsible for that course.

3. How will this course affect my school course work?

CTY Academic Explorations courses are enrichment courses; they are designed to offer you areas of study not usually available in middle or high school. They usually do not affect what courses students take in the fall. However, if you want to inquire about receiving school credit, show this catalog and the courses you are interested in to your principal or guidance counselor. Remember that only your school can make a decision about credit or placement.
