Customized Program Option
In addition to the regular sessions: Customized Program for universities looking for a more tailored experience. If you have a group of 20 or more students, a faculty member can accompany them and even offer their own course as part of the program. Through a short-term partnership agreement, your students would benefit from our most affordable partner rate. In fact, one of our partner university professors successfully brought a group of 20 students through this format last summer.
If a customized program is something you'd be interested in, we'd be happy to discuss it further and explore the possibilities together.
