The College Scholars Program is an undergraduate community of learners. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and the moral demands of leadership, both at Case and beyond. Students work with faculty to define their educational programs, teaching one another as well as learning from faculty. Students apply to the program during their Freshman or Sophomore years and those admitted participate in the program for the following two years. The program is three credit hours per semester for two years for a total of 12 credit hours. In class, students can expect to develop communication skills, explore ethical problems, and probe the nature of leadership. They also will have unusual opportunities to teach one another, developing the curriculum of the program in collaboration with their classmates and the faculty. The final year of the program is devoted to a project of the student's own design. Seniors serve as mentors to the students in the class that follow them. Students from all majors and disciplines are encouraged to apply.
