New Course: CSV 303 Ideas in Action<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Turn Curiosity into Real-World Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have an idea you want to explore, a project you want to build, or an interest you want to turn into something real? Ideas in Action<\/strong> gives you the flexibility, mentorship, and support to make it happen while earning academic credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This student-driven course allows you to design a hands-on project around your own interests and goals. Projects may include creating a podcast or film, developing an app or AI product, launching a business or community initiative, conducting independent research, building a prototype, or creating a professional portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, you\u2019ll work with mentors, develop practical skills, document your progress, and turn your experience into something you can share with future employers, graduate programs, collaborators, or your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSV 303 is available for 1\u20134 credits, graded Pass\/Fail, and may be used as a free elective.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your idea. Your project. Your experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
