68 Dyson College of Arts and Sciences The activities of the society include a weekend seminar, usually during the fall semester, and mini-seminars throughout the year, which provide an opportunity for students and faculty to consider and debate issues of contemporary significance under the leadership of a prominent visiting scholar or Pace faculty member. Discussions have included topics such as bio-medical ethics, discretion and accountability in law, and the ethics of journalism. At the annual meeting students present scholarly or artistic projects completed under the supervision of an appropriate faculty mentor. Qualified students are recognized as associates and those fulfilling established criteria are inducted as fellows. Participation in activities of the society is open to matriculated students who demonstrate ability in the liberal arts, scientific scholarship, or artistic creativity. Prospective student members of the Society of Fellows may be: • Nominated by any faculty member or fellow. • Identified by the Dean’s Office as having a cumula- tive quality point average of 3.5 or above and having completed 32 credits at Pace. • Recommended by the campus director of the Honors Program. High School Bridge Program Pace University provides the opportunity for high school seniors of ability and motivation to take courses for college credit. Full-time programs may be organized for cooperat- ing high schools. Except for senior projects, students must be fully qualified for admission and be recommended by their high school principal. Students enjoy dual matricula- tion in the high school and in Dyson College. Courses carry college credit and may also be used to satisfy requirements for the student’s high school diploma. Mannes College of Music and Hoff-Barthelson Music School The Dyson College, the Mannes College of Music, a division of the New School, and the Hoff-Barthelson Music School in Scarsdale have established affiliations that enable Pace music minors to pursue music studies and receive credit for two courses at Pace. Credit is granted for private lessons in instruments and voice, as well as classes in music theory. Students study with the schools’ highly qualified faculty in programs designed both for students with no previous work in music and for students with an extensive musical background. Interested students should contact the chair of the Department of Performing Arts in New York, or Fine Arts in Pleasantville.
