All courses are academically and personally rewarding experiences that broaden one's understanding of the subject matter in a way that is not possible in the classroom. This special way of learning can be life-changing, and the memories will last a lifetime. The seminars also attract teachers and others unable to participate in semester-long programs. Participants in Drake's study seminars should come with a commitment to work hard and a high level of academic and personal readiness to meet the challenges of the programs. The remaining balance is due six weeks before the study seminar begins.
Enrollment is limited, so early application is important.
Not only are study seminars more fun and exciting than hanging out at home this summer, they also are designed to blend practical and theoretical learning. Take a course in your field of study, or consider one in an area of study in which you have an interest but can't fit in to fall or spring semesters. Faculty members organize each seminar, so you don't have to worry about travel agents, airlines or hotel reservations. Instead, you can enjoy stimulating experiences in a place you might otherwise not visit, and you'll return with expanded outlooks and memories that will last a lifetime. Traveling to new and unfamiliar places will broaden your perspectives and directly expose you to new people, cultures and landscapes - experiences you can't gain in a classroom or from a textbook.
