Old Westbury, NY (06/25/2020) — Whether you are an ambitious high school student, home from college for the summer, or simply want to enhance your own knowledge base and skills, there is still time to take advantage of New York Institute of Technology's reduced tuition rates for its online summer courses.

New York Tech is also offering engaging technology summer academies for middle and high school students, including a two-week high school Online Engineering Experience beginning July 20 and a free online Middle School Maker Academy which starts on August 3.

Benefits for Visiting and High School Students

Summer is the ideal time for students to get a head start, catch up on courses, fill in knowledge gaps in a specific area, or shorten their timeline to graduation. New York Tech summer courses are open to all admitted, current, and visiting students (including those attending other colleges and qualified high school students). The discounted undergraduate tuition rate is $720 per credit --nearly half the per-credit summer tuition of many local private universities.

Registration is now open for Session II, which begins on July 13.

Students can enroll in a wide range of foundational (freshman/sophomore-level) and advanced (junior/senior-level) courses. Some of the most popular New York Tech summer courses include introductory Physics, Math, Biology, Computer Science, and Architecture classes. In addition, electives with no prerequisites include:

  • Communications for Technical Professions
  • Introduction to Architecture and Design
  • Leadership and Employee Relations
  • Computer Science: Special Topics I and II

Graduate-level courses also include required foundational courses as well as elective offerings like:
