Akademia

Akademia is a first year program with an integrated arts and science curriculum and a living learning component.

The program is designed to appeal to academically committed students with a strong general background who wish to pursue a liberal education while simultaneously completing the basic courses of the first year of the B.A. or B.Sc. program. Entry to this first year experience is through the B.A. or B.Sc. degree program and the admission requirements of these programs will apply. In no circumstances will the average for admission to the Akademia program be less than 75%. For further information contact the Office of First Year Studies and request the program guide.
