High School students take an SBU college course taught by Olean High School teachers (trained by SBU professors, with materials supplied by the university) at Olean High School.
Olean High School students can enroll in two St. Bonaventure University courses, Introduction to Biotechnology and American Politics.
The goal of these dual-enrollment courses, in which students receive both high school and college credit, is to help high school students hone and enhance their skills in communication, critical thinking, problem-solving and scientific writing.
Students will earn dual high school and college credit, as well as separate OHS and SBU grades, determined by the grading criteria at each school. For students who enroll at St. Bonaventure after high school, this grade will become part of their official grade point average (GPA) at SBU.
The cost to Olean High students is $150 per credit. There are no additional costs for textbooks or other course materials.
