The Fundamentals of Physical Sciences (FPS) Program is a four-week program designed to prepare students for college-level work while they are still in high school.

Summer Early College Preparatory Programs

Admission requirements at the top universities seek students who have taken challenging science, mathematics, and computer courses.

Modules in standardized test preparation are included in all programs to prepare students for the NJSLA, PSAT, ACT and SAT.

The Fundamentals of Physical Sciences Program is divided into two main academic groups:

  • Chemistry
    Students completing 9th and 10th grades who have not yet taken high school chemistry.
     
  • Physics:
    Students completing 9th and 10th graders who have not yet taken high school physics.Students also receive instruction in higher-level problem-solving strategies, computer applications, advanced mathematics, and communications through classroom discussions, lectures, laboratory experiments, demonstrations, and projects.
    Academic courses incorporate modules to prepare students for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) exam and Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT).
