We require students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend our On-Campus Summer Academies, but students may fill out an exemption form once they are accepted. Students’ vaccine exemption statuses will not impact the Admissions Committee’s review of their application. We only require your vaccine status after you are accepted.

Our programs typically contain 25-30 students. We cap enrollment at 35 students per class. The Academies offers a 10:1 student-to-instructor ratio — all programs are staffed with three members from our instructional team.
