The Ivy Scholars experience...
- You’ll meet other incoming classmates, a few professors and an upper-class mentor, and enjoy social activities, too!
- In addition to the class time, there will also be a set time each day to meet with your mentor and classmates.
- In addition to helping with the class(es) you are taking, your mentor is also an upper-class student who can answer questions about campus before you arrive.
- All Ivy Scholars participants will have the opportunity to come to campus a day early and meet their mentors and groups in person! (That means you also get to move in a day early).
Get a head start on your Gen Ed course requirements!
- Students will select two classes to participate in. These classes fulfill general education requirements.
- The classes will meet at a set time each day for 1 ½ hours, five days a week (Monday through Friday) for three weeks.
