Conwell-Egan, Immaculata University announce partnership

Posted

Officials from Conwell-Egan Catholic High School (CEC) and Immaculata University recently signed an official agreement that entered both schools into a collaborative educational partnership that offers dual enrollment courses and an Academic and Career Academy for CEC students.
With the partnership, Immaculata University will provide three opportunities for CEC students to enroll in dual enrollment courses: Immaculata University On-Site Courses at Conwell-Egan High School, the Immaculata Online Scholars Program, and the Summer Scholars Program.

In addition, the new Academic and Career Academy is divided into four groupings to provide perspective to students based upon their interests. The four groups are STEM, health sciences and nursing, arts education, social sciences and humanities, and business. During their four years of high school, CEC students will explore these four areas with the expert assistance of Immaculata’s career development staff, faculty, students, alumni, and employer representatives.
Starting this fall, freshmen from CEC will visit Immaculata and participate in presentations from each of the four academic clusters. During their sophomore year, students will select two groups where they will listen to current students and alumni regarding their experiences and will discuss various professions from experts on an employer panel. During their junior year, students join two groups of their interest and attend hands-on class sessions. By the time students reach their senior year, students can delve more fully into an area of interest and discuss various pathways to a career. Faculty will address skills needed, opportunities within the field and options for graduate school.
