Structure
- Students will attend online seminars and workshops with Colby faculty and staff followed by many opportunities to break out in small groups to work on research, assignments and other activities that will help students prepare for their time at Colby. Once students arrive on campus there will be ample opportunities for social gatherings and short field trips because spending time together as a cohort is a fundamental part of the CAPS program.
Join the CAPS Facebook Group to meet your future classmates before you arrive.
