BATON ROUGE – LSU Continuing Education will offer summer academic enrichment programs for pre-college students in grades 7-12. The programs are designed to help students remain active and engaged in learning during the summer break.

This year’s pre-college summer programs offer a variety of camps, courses and activities for students. Programs will be offered in two sessions, June 8-19, and July 6-17.

LSU Continuing Education’s 2009 Summer Pre-College Programs include:

Two-week mini-courses that will provide helpful reviews or previews of critical middle and high school subjects. Students can take one 90-minute course, or several to build a half-day or whole-day program.
Math, science and language arts courses for students entering eighth grade. Study skills and the LEAP prep series courses are also offered.
Academic review and enrichment courses for grades 9-12 designed to go beyond the standard high school curriculum.
Two-week Advanced Placement camp for students interested in taking AP European History or AP American History.
Half-day and full-day science, technology and creative arts camps are offered. These special interest camp topics include game design, lego robotics, forensic science and cartoon drawing.

Unless otherwise noted, courses for 7-12 grade students are held Monday through Friday on the LSU campus. Grades are not awarded for these courses.

LSU Continuing Education also offers youth programs for K-6th grade students. Course descriptions, dates and times can be found in the course catalog online or call 225-578-2500 for more information.
