Union-Endicott offers a Summa Cum Laude Diploma for those students who wish to challenge themselves beyond the Regents with Advanced Designation.  This diploma offers three different methods for students to achieve the necessary criteria.  Students who meet the criteria in one of the three categories will receive the Summa designation on their diploma and special recognition at graduation. 

The High School offers thirteen Advanced Placement courses along with several courses eligible for college credit.  These courses are available to students who wish to pursue a challenging academic program.  Students in Advanced Placement courses will be prepared to take the AP exam related to the course, administered in early May.  More than 2,900 univerities and colleges grant credit to students who perform satisfactorily on the exams. 

College level courses at UEHS include offererings from Foreign Language, Business, Technology and Social Studies.  Credits are granted from a variety of colleges, based on the course, student achievement and a decision by the student and family to pursue the credit.

Our Science Research Program is an honors level program designed for students who are interested in working through a three year progression of applied scientific research methods.  By the end of the three years, the students will complete a university level independent research project.

The program provides students with the opportunity to develop, with support from Union-Endicott teachers and university professionals, their independent research skills.  The students are also required to present their research  throughout the three years at school, regional and possibly national events.  These presentations bring increased confidence in public speaking, a valuable tool as students enter college and careers.

Admission to the program is through application.  SUNY Albany credit is possible for student who have successfully completed the introductory first year course as sophomores.  It is possible to receive further credit for students who continue through their junior and senior years.
