Office
of Continuing Studies and Special Programs
The Office
of Continuing Studies was established to serve the needs of
a diverse community. Adults living on the east end have the
opportunity to seek personal enrichment, professional advancement
or new careers through Continuing Education non-credit courses.
Certificate programs, licensing programs and workshops are offered
year round for the student who wants to increase their potential.
Courses
are offered in real estate, appraisal, English
as a second language, writing, foreign languages, health
and legal professions, insurance, computers, horticulture
and much more. Each semester lecture series are offered providing
the perfect opportunity to explore philosophy, literature,
archeology, metaphysics and a host of topics with distinguished
faculty who share the same interests as the adult learner.
Continuing
Studies - Spring 2002 Courses
Other
programs which originate in the Office of Continuing Studies
include:
Preparation
for an American University Program (PAUP). This unique
preparatory program for international students was developed
to facilitate students' successful application for an undergraduate
or a graduate course of study in an American University or graduate
school. It is designed to bring each student's English capacity
to TOEFL level. In addition to training in writing, grammar,
reading and conversation, the program also focuses on functional
training in the English language, cultural excursions, practicums
in every day situations, and campus life in general. A description
of the Preparation for an American University
Program is also available.
Southampton
College Day Camp offers a well rounded sports, instruction
and activities program for children aged 4 1/2 through 15
years old. Athletic programs offered include tennis, softball,
soccer, basketball, swimming, sailing and outdoor games. Instruction
is given in swimming, computers, tennis and sailing. Drama,
art, marine science, computer classes and special events are
planned throughout the summer. Our goal is to provide a safe,
healthy, and stimulating atmosphere, balancing summer fun
with structured learning activities.
The
Community Auditor Program allows community residents to
audit regularly scheduled undergraduate classes at a fraction
of regular tuition. For more information about Continuing

insights, educational background and life experiences of retirees
are important assets for making their post-career years a
