EARN 5 college credits

 

Students benefit from participation in a learning community by:
 
  • Developing friendships with likeminded students and faculty
  • Out-of-the classroom activities that reinforce classroom learning
  • Meaningful engagement to the campus and community

 

Plus…it’s a great experience!!

Students will be enrolled in two credited courses that count in fall registration:
 
  • SPCOM100-017-Fundamentals of Speech (2 Credits)
  • PSYH 110, General Psychology (3 Credits)

Tuition for SPCOM and PSYCH will be charged to your fall financial aid package.

Students will enter their fall term with a lightened course load, allowing them time to focus on their remaining academics.

Students will come to campus two weeks early, stay in university housing, eat in university facilities and attend structured class formats Monday through Friday. There will also be activities for you to participate in. And of course you’ll have free time too. You will be prepared to transition to WEEK ONE orientation.
