MAICEI students are 18-21 years old and are receiving special education services under IDEA in their local school district. Each student who participates in the MAICEI program will enroll in one college course in the Fall semester and one college course in the Spring semester. In addition, MAICEI students will also participate in career and academic counseling with the MAICEI Coordinator and MAICEI Employment Specialist, campus internships, Transition Topics sessions and meet with Peer Mentors (when available).
