    Applications for the Hoya Summer High School Sessions are closed, but you can still explore your academic passions with the Pre-College Online Program. Study anywhere, anytime, on your schedule.

    The Neuroscience Academy exposes students to the fundamentals of neurobiology incorporating a clinical focus from which to explore how the nervous system functions. Patient cases will be used to

    1. Promote discussion of central nervous system (CNS) injuries, related disorders, and diseases across the lifespan,
    2. Guide your learning of CNS function by studying cellular (neurons/glia) through systems (sensory/motor/cognitive) anatomy,
    3. Facilitate your skills to search for information using primary, secondary, and tertiary sources,
    4. Introduce you to medical treatments, medication, brain imaging, and related basic science and clinical research,
    5. Enhance your awareness of careers in the medical profession and undergraduate majors to get you there,
    6. Explore topics of neuroethics, and
    7. Help you to develop, contribute, and compete in small groups as a final project. You'll leave the program with an understanding and appreciation of some governing principles of nervous system design, function, effect of injury, and recovery of function.

    It was amazing to be surrounded by such high caliber students and staff who were all encouraging and fabulous to work with. I took away many positive things from my week as a Summer Hoya.

    The program offers so much–from the off-site visits to the daily lectures and the on campus activities. The lectures were interesting, meeting new people was great and the off-site visits were interactive and intriguing.
