- S.U.P.A. began in 1972 and is a cooperative effort between Syracuse University and high schools throughout the Northeast. It provides high school students with the opportunity to enroll in challenging university courses that are offered in the convenience of their own schools.
- The 2019-2020 rate for Project Advance students is $115 per credit ($460 overall), which sharply contrasts the regular S.U. rate of over $1100 per credit.
- Successful credit-enrolled completion of the CHEM 113 Forensic Science course provides the student with 4 undergraduate Syracuse University credits (which is documented on an actual transcript from SU).
