Understand Academic Coaching

Academic Coaching is an opportunity offered to any interested undergraduate through programming at the CRC, to varsity student-athletes through the Division of Athletics, and self-identified international students through the International Advising Team. Professional/Peer Coaches provide strategies for students studying the humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields; they work with any student free of charge.
