Hot Summer ProgramsNew Yorks Summer Intensivesby deena a. sami
New York City is an ideal playground or
learningand the summer is no exception.
While or some, summer typically means
beach houses in the Hamptons and play-
ing catch in Central Park with the children,
others choose to use the citys expansive
list o colleges to stimulate their intellect by
enrolling in intensive, summer continuing
education programs.
Summer intensive programs deliver
in-depth, concentrated learning experiences
to business proessionals, career-changers,
and college students seeking an additional
credential, said Cheryl Guevara, a public rela-
tions associate at New York Universitys School
o Continuing and Proessional Studies.
The intensive, summer programs vary in
length, ranging rom one week to a couple
months and cover a variety o topics in di-
ering proessions. Students can choose to
immerse themselves in a variety o classes
such as publishing, nance, marketing,
lmmaking, sports broadcasting, public rela-
tions, writing workshops and global aairs,
to name a ew. The programs are, however,
not or the aint-hearted.
Students in intensive summer programs
have been described by some as more o-
cused and goal-oriented, given their choice
to take on a more demanding schedule and
achieve something particular within a short
period o time, said Rita Rodin, an associate
rom the ofce o media relations at the City
University o New York.
Students reasons or enrolling in these
intensive programs vary almost as much as
the wide array o classes they are able take.
While some seek a proessional boost, oth-
ers might take the classes because they are
considering a career change.
We have a consistent presence among
our students in all semesters o proes-
sionals seeking to distinguish themselves
with courses, certicates and graduate
programs, said George Calderaro, the direc-
tor o communications at Columbia Univer-
sitys School o Continuing Education. Some
are seeking to change careers, but many
want to advance in their current proession
and need the credential and condence.
The summer presents an opportune time
to sharpen or develop their skills through
these classes. Because the intensive pro-
grams are compacted in a short amount
o time, proessionals are able to t them
in their busy schedules. Instead o taking a
semester-long class, they can take a class
or a ew weeks on the topic o their choice.
Some students spend their vacation time
and attend a one-week class, according to
Guevara.
I think it is a combination o both a

Because more people are starting to take these classes, chances or networking among
the proessionals is another invaluable asset they can take away rom the programs.
When we started getting to know each other we kept getting in touch, said Maria Stoy-
anova, a ormer student o CUNYs Contemporary American Business Practices Program at
Baruch College. All the people in the class still keep in touch, we wont lose that connection.
We try to help each other and think o things we can work on together in the uture.

only temporarily set aside and replaced by
more classes.
Many universities in New York City and
across the country ofer intensive summer
programs or high school students who want
to spend their vacation reading, studying
and interacting with other students rom all
over the world or as little as a week or up to
a couple months.
Students are eager to test out the re-
sponsibilities o college, to take college-level
courses that will earn them college credit,
and to learn how to be a more competitive
college applicant, said William Holinger,
director o Harvard Universitys Second-
ary School program ofered to high school
sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Universities ofer a variety o classes
to enrich the students academic
interests and non-academic passions.
Some students are attracted by the
atypical classes.
Students are always excited about
courses that are not part o their tradi-
tional high school curriculum, said Ann
Dachs, director o Barnards Pre-Col-
lege Program at Columbia University.
Other students are interested in

they might be interested in majoring
in once they get to their respective
college campuses. Still others enroll
in programs that guide them with the
looming and dreadul college search
and admissions process whirlwind.
However, intellectual enrichment
and college prep advising are not the only
things these ambitious teenagers gain. They
get a taste o the social college lie: living in
dorms and interacting with students rom
all around the world. The universities pre-
college summer programs boast o their di-
verse student body . Last summer, Harvards
summer program hosted students rom all
50 states and 70 oreign countries.
Students also have at their disposal the
universities aculty who are experts in their
respective elds. They can seek advice rom
them concerning their plans or the uture
and get career help i they wish.
