EmBARKing on your college career?
Are you hoping or planning to go to college soon? This is for you. We'd like to show you all the tips and tricks we wish someone had shown us, back when we were all starting out. This short course is free, so you won't earn credits. But you'll gain a leg up—and a strong, solid start to your new college life.
Our tips and tricks will help with all your science and engineering coursework. Also physics, chemistry, and math. From problem-solving, to technical learning, to test taking, and more—we'll share honest advice on how to dive into college learning with greater confidence. Because we don't want you to survive college. We want you to thrive.
We've created this short course with students heading to Michigan Tech in mind, but all kinds of students will like it—and everyone is welcome. Please feel free to invite your friends.
So, forget the school of hard knocks—there's no reason to learn the hard way. Not when you can tap into our 100-plus years of collective wisdom!
