• Spark Seminars are unique courses taught by professors who are passionate about their research. These classes are kept small, so you'll have the chance to work with faculty as soon as you get to campus. • Intellectual Experience Badges are awarded when students take part in certain co-curricular activities. There are 11 badges, and you can earn them by helping create an ad campaign for a campus event, for example, or volunteering in the community. • You’ll upload your progress to an ePortfolio to keep track of your general education courses, which you can use later during your job search or when applying to graduate school. You’ll get an introduction to learning at a research university during your first semester.
