The Academic Experience
The University Preview Program is designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to complete college courses through dual enrollment while in high school. Students may enroll in up to two 3-credit courses per semester at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, either during the academic year and/or in the summer.
- Students are engaged in the actual college classroom experience, benefitting from the expertise of college faculty.
- Students are assigned an Academic Advisor who works specifically with University Preview students.
- Credit earned for each course is applicable to a Pitt-Greensburg 4-year degree program or are accepted for transfer at most colleges and universities, contingent upon the grade you earn and the credit transfer policies at the institution receiving the credits.
- Courses offered are at the introductory level and may be used to satisfy your high school requirements.
