Students can register for these classes the same way they would register for any other class, but this time they're also signing on for some extra fun. Shichtman says the courses offer students an opportunity to work and study together by building a strong classroom community. Students can earn up to 4 credits per year through Adventures in Education, and they may participate in the program each year it's offered. There, students will find a list of the 17 academic courses and three physical education classes offered by the program. The credits earned are no different than traditional EMU credits, they're just offered in a non-traditional format.
Students can even use financial aid to pay for the tuition and fees.
Although students are responsible for their own transportation and accommodations, the University has worked out a deal with Treetops Resort for the week of the classes. The lift ticket may be used for free-time fun, or if students wish, they may take a physical education class on skiing during the trip. Students can choose the kind of person they would room or drive with. Bauer encouraged students to take advantage of the opportunity over winter break because she said she feels it's a great way to learn and have fun. He relates well to the students and material he teaches.
