What
will I learn?
Participants
will develop both analytical and creative skills
by working in a Microsoft Windows® environment
with business analytics tools like Microsoft
Excel® and Access® - and multimedia applications,
like Macromedia® Fireworks MX and Microsoft PowerPoint®.
We try to teach concepts that are not part of
a general high school curriculum and that you
would learn in your first year of college.
A typical session will consist
of approximately 45 minutes of demonstration
and instruction, followed by 45 minutes of
hands-on exercises.

CHI is open
to high school juniors and seniors who want to learn
how computers are used in business who have been
nominated by their teacher or counselor. Area

two or three outstanding students for this program.
Anyone who is interested should ask one of these
people to serve as their sponsor!

Interested students can apply online or
by mail.
We encourage students to complete the initial
application online and submit the nomination

deadline posted on our website. Participation
is limited so please submit your application
as early as possible.
What are the qualifications for nomination?

to study business and/or information technology
at the collegiate level

teacher or guidance counselor
Do I need to bring any supplies with me for
class?
Participants are encouraged to bring a
thumb drive if they would like to save their
work as we progress through the program.
Should
I bring money with me?
Some students like to bring money so they can
purchase a soft drink, coffee, or snack during
our break. You will not need to bring money for
parking as we will take care of that for you.
Are there any stipulations in regard to earning
the 3 free credits?
Participants must be accepted
to Duquesne University and have made their initial
non-refundable deposit by May 1 or within three
weeks of acceptance to attend the summer sessions.
In addition, participants must attend both the
spring and summer CHI programs to be eligible for
the 3 free credits. Unfortunately, the credits
are non-transferable if you decide to go to another
college or university.
