Rutgers-Newark/McNair Academic High School Distance Learning Program
The Office of the Dean, Faculty of Arts and Sciences – Newark implemented an off-campus/instructional television (ITV) academic program with McNair Academic High School, a magnet school within the Jersey City Public School system, beginning in September 1999.
FASN Rutgers-Newark/McNair Academic High School Off-Campus Program provides a means to enrich the high school curriculum of McNair Academic High School with college level advanced placement courses. It also introduces students to the format and academic style of college study.
To aid instruction, various instructional technology tools are used such as Blackboard and Pod casting. Regularly scheduled NCAS courses are televised to McNair in real time and also videotaped for later review and study by McNair students. There are approximately 250 students enrolled in the program each academic year.
