| Academic | |
|---|---|
| Students enrolled in this program take the following types of inclusive courses (with students who don't have disabilities): | Typical college courses for credit |
| More about course access: |
Each semester, all students enrolled in the program take a minimum of one UMSL college-bulletin course for full (typically 3 credit hours) or modified credit (1credit hour). Many take two or more. These courses are chosen based on individualized plans that align with student goals related to our four program pillars (Live, Learn, Work, & Play). |
| Students take courses that are only for students in this program: | Yes |
| Information on special classes: |
In addition to credit-bearing courses, students take a series of courses that are included in their program fee (not additional tuition p/credit cost) that support them in all four program pillars. These courses will be added to the UMSL course catalog and embedded in other academic programs/departments for credit as we transition to a new fiscal model in the coming year. We did not want to burden families with additional tuition (p/credit) costs, and have worked with the University on a new fiscal model to address this. |
