Courses
You didn't think you'd be stuck inside in the summer did you? Your personal course objectives are set up and agreed upon between you and your WPI music faculty advisor during the 1/6 credit HU2900 prep (D term) before we leave the States. When we arrive in London, you pursue those objectives by seeing London; go to concerts, see street performers, see the sights, and check in with your music faculty advisor in regular status meetings. You can also work in a group if you prefer--sign up with a friend!
WPI typically offers a 30% tuition discount on summer courses! That comes to about $7,700 total for the 3 courses.
