How to Choose Course

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

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 for three intensive weeks?

As you read through the course descriptions, no doubt some courses will immediately catch your interest. Others may be on subjects you have never heard of. One of the benefits of the program is the opportunity to discover new interests. If you would like to know more about a particular course you can:
  • Take a look at a sample syllabus found in the course descriptions or contact us at 410-735-6277 or ctyinfo@jhu.edu to request a syllabus.
  • Review the sample texts. Though texts may change every year, the books can 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 contact us at 410-735-6277 or 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?


CAA 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.
