Syracuse University Project Advance

Project Advance is a partnership between Syracuse University and secondary schools to give seniors the stimulation and advanced credit of a university academic experience. SU courses offered through Project Advance use the same curriculum as those taught to Syracuse freshmen and sophomores. Instructors in the high schools are certified as Syracuse University adjuncts by attending summer workshops and professional development seminars throughout the year. Student's grades are recorded as credit earned at Syracuse University- and are considered as such by other colleges and universities. Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA) is the only program in the Northeast affiliated with a private university to be accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). SUPA is also a founding member of NACEP, which serves as a national accrediting body and supports all members by providing standards of excellence, research, communication, and advocacy. Project Advance has served as a model for similar programs at Indiana University, University of North Carolina-Greensboro, University of Minnesota, University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
