Program Schedule


Sections of the Spring 2024 Emerging Scholars Program will meet every Friday for 9 weeks at their scheduled times. We plan to offer 9 sections.

Section numbers and times correspond to those listed for COMS 1404 in SSOL. Note that Sections 3 and 7, although listed on SSOL, will not be held this semester.

Each session is 75 minutes long, and is followed immediately by an attached 15-minutes long peer advising period. All sections will take place between 8:30 a.m. and 5:25 p.m. EDT/EST.
