The Independent Study and Mentorship Program is a course in which students get the opportunity to learn more about their chosen topic of study to aid them in their career path. Students work on creating a product, research, interview skills, professionalism, and presentation skills. By working with a mentor students are able to gain "real-world experience" and see what their future might look like. They will get first-hand experience working alongside a professional that has the career they want to pursue.
