Eligibility & Application Process

Summer Policies: 
Typically, we do not fill our summer program. However, should we near our capacity, you may be added to a waitlist. In this case, preference will be given to students that have secured an internship. You must complete each step before you are able to proceed. Not completing a step by the designated deadline may result in your spot being offered to another student.

Individual Majors & Programs: 
Students are advised to verify with their academic advisor or department that they are eligible to participate in CIW and if/how our courses will count towards their major. In addition, we will send the student's academic advisor a form to complete, confirming the student has approval to participate in this program.
