Robert E. Cooks Honors College Summer Program

<p>Well, now that I’ve got my youngest daughter, a rising freshman, figured out for the upcoming summer (CTY’s Intro to Biomedical Science), it’s time to focus on my oldest daughter, a rising senior. I stumbled upon an interesting program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania called Cooks Honor College Summer Program. I found a few threads for it and my oldest seems very interested in the 2 week set-up: 1/2 day focused on Literature (her choice of the three Core options) and the other 1/2 of the day focused on Forensics (her choice of 13 discipline-based options) … all this for 2 weeks. The price looks extremely cheap at approximately $1,000, which got my attention, but the program actually sounds very interesting. </p>

<p>I found a couple of interesting threads on this but wanted to see if anyone knew much of the program or attended it?</p>

<ul>
<li>Was it well run?</li>
<li>Safety?</li>
<li>Food and living conditions?</li>
<li>Interesting and challenging academically?</li>
<li>Fun?</li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks for your input. Here’s those few threads I found:</p>

<p>i believe the 2012 courses arent out yet and the courses displayed are the 2011 ones</p>

<p>That is true, bookluver07, but the classes/cost doesn’t seem to change much from the research and PM’s I’ve received from others that have attended.</p>

<p>Well, my oldest applied and was accepted into the Cooks Honors College Summer Program and she’s pretty excited. She’ll be taking the Literature and Forensics path … two of her passions. I was really surprised at the diversity of the courses and I hope my rising senior enjoys the material and campus. Though the cost rose approximately 30% from last year, it’s still only $1,250 for 2 weeks and that’s pretty darn good. Should be a great experience.</p>

<p>Anybody else attending?</p>
