GET A FEEL FOR THE SCHEDULE

The WYSE schedule is intense! It packs in the program speakers, field visits, simulation, and group discussions so that students get the most out of their time with us. 

It is important for students to get the rest they need at night and be prompt and present during the day. The week is nonstop, but our alumni say it’s worth it!
