University in the High School - Mythology
In Conjunction with Schenectady County Community College
This course is designed as an opportunity for students to potentially earn college credit at SUNY schools for their work in a high school setting. As such, this class is designed and taught as a college freshman level course. Students are expected to conduct themselves accordingly. If you would like more information, as I am learning the basic construct myself, I suggest you visit SCCC's U.H.S. Page.
