Research Interest Exploration Program
Having a clear field of interest can help students determine their academic and career goals in a much easier manner. The Scholar Launch Research Interest Exploration Program introduces students to multiple academic disciplines so that they can better understand where their interests and strengths lie.
Students will learn advanced knowledge and skills from recorded sessions delivered by high-ranking college professors and instructors who are experts at presenting complex information in an accessible manner to pre-college students. They will also work closely with a Program Faculty Advisor who will guide them through each of the subjects and tasks.
Students will create a portfolio of work across disciplines that will help them in their future endeavors. They will also produce a Research Proposal in the discipline they are interested in the most.
