High school students looking to get a jump start on college can take online courses in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Russian starting this summer, thanks to a new partnership between Seton Hill University and online curriculum provider Blended Schools Network. The dual credit course will be taught by adjunct faculty at Seton Hill through Blended School’s Learning Institute.
