Title
"Pre-Baccalaureate Program Student Statistics -- Fall Term 1965"
Description
This early summary of the first semester of SEEK (then known as the Pre-Baccalaureate Program) details the courses, schedules and teachers for the 113 SEEK students in Fall 1965 at CCNY. These first SEEK students took a mix of mainstream and special SEEK course sections. The only course taken by everyone was the 5-credit stretched version of English One (Composition). Anthony Penale and Toni Cade each taught three section of these writing courses.
Short for "Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge," SEEK was established as a CUNY-wide program to assist disadvantaged students who might otherwise lack the opportunity to study at a four-year college.
