To help you achieve success in college, your
career and your life, Southampton offers the innovative and
award-winning Long Island University Plan, a comprehensive
program of counseling and practical experiences that draws
on the resources of the entire University to address every
major student concern: academic, personal, financial and career.
The Freshman Program
All Southampton freshmen are registered for College
101 (Intro to College). This one - semester course serves
to familiarize freshmen with the many resources at Southampton
and gives students a forum to discuss pertinent topics ranging
from time management to substance abuse. The College 101
instructor is the academic advisor to the students in the
class, and is an excellent resource throughout the first
year and beyond.
The Honors Program
Academically and intellectually motivated students in all
disciplines may join the Honors Program, which offers an
exciting and challenging supplement to the undergraduate
curriculum. Honors program students write theses based on
independent research, often in conjunction with an internship.
The Honors Program and the Honors Society sponsor such activities
as trips and community service projects.
The Cooperative Education Program
Through the co-op program you can earn academic credit and
a salary while working at a job related to your studies.
A staff of trained counselors will work with you to choose
the placement that gives you the best possible career preparation.
Our co-op students have held jobs in 32 states and 17 foreign
countries. Eighty percent receive offers of permanent employment
from their co-op employers.
The Internship Program The Internship Program plays
an active role in supporting the College's emphasis on experiential
learning and research as an integral part of academic life.
Over 1,000 Southampton students in all majors have traveled
the country and abroad to participate in a research internship.
Internships are viewed as culminating work experiences
enabling upperclassmen to directly apply knowledge and training
learned in the classroom.
