Depending on the specific course, you may expect group work, hands-on lab experience, field trips, guest speakers, and/or an encompassing final project. You may register for only one course, as each course requires five to six hours of instruction per day; you won’t have time for more than one. Applications are reviewed as they are submitted, and students are accepted on a rolling basis.
