Interactive, project-based classes.
Your program will be a mix of class sessions with your instructors, and time to work on your own or in a small group. Every workshop is designed to be as interactive as possible. Your non-credit workshops are designed to introduce you to the key concepts of various academic fields through project-based learning, often through work in small groups.
Academic and Professional Enrichment
You will choose to attend either a professional development or college readiness "success strategies" seminar each day, where you will build your skills in small groups with other students. More information about what will be covered in these "success strategies" seminars is available in the program guide.
