STEM Virtual Academic Boot Camp
Are you an enlisted service member or veteran interested in earning a STEM degree, and want to brush up on your academic skills? Do in-person college classes not work for you? Do you want to explore a virtual environment to see if it’s the right type of learning for you?
Our STEM virtual academic boot camp can help you prepare for a STEM degree while learning in an online environment.
What you can expect from our STEM virtual academic boot camp:
- Virtual college-level lectures taught by physics professors
- An interactive virtual group research project
- Dedicated support and guidance from student veteran peer mentors
- Classes with a community of enlisted service members and veterans interested in college
STEM Virtual Academic Boot Camp Requirements:
- Regular and reliable access to a computer* and the internet
- 40+ hours to devote to in-class (synchronous) lectures and work time, and outside-of-class activities and assignments (asynchronous)
- Active participation during virtual lectures, discussions, and activities**
*If you do not have access to a computer, Warrior-Scholar Project will loan you a Chromebook for the week
**Active participation means that your video must be on during synchronous virtual classes
Our boot camps are intensive and require immense focus and attention while attending virtual classes and completing assigned homework. Please note that you cannot work full-time while attending a WSP virtual boot camp unless you plan to take personal time off (PTO) or vacation time.
Eligibility:
If you are a U.S. enlisted service member or veteran without a bachelor’s degree, you’re eligible to apply. If you have questions about your eligibility, please reach out to our admissions team.
