They are taught by high school teachers who have completed graduate seminars in their subject areas and been named adjunct instructors at SU.

• Project Advance serves a five-state area: New York, New Jersey, Maine, Michigan, and Massachusetts.
• Over 7,000 students in 170 high schools annually enroll in SU courses through Project Advance.
