Science, Technology and Research Early College High School at Erasmus (STAR)

Science, Technology and Research Early College High School at Erasmus (STAR) is a small Early College Network school. Our dynamic team of high school teachers and Brooklyn College professors are eager to prepare students interested in science, mathematics, and technology for college and the world of work. With our partners, we offer a range of challenging academic courses that give students first-hand exposure to the demands of high school and college by using field-based and hands-on methods of instruction. Students use the rich resources on the Brooklyn College and other City University of New York (CUNY) campuses as their learning laboratories. In addition to their high school diploma, students may earn 30 or more college credits.

• Starting in the 11th grade, students begin to take college courses at Brooklyn College and other CUNY colleges in pathways of science and non-science subjects. Students can earn 30 to 60 college credits related to core college pathways.
