IC x UFli Info Session: Studying What You Love
Have you ever thought about pursuing your own path by creating your own concentration at Brown, but are nervous about veering from the pre-professional path? Do you wish you could simply study what you love, but have no idea where to begin or how to justify it?
Watch a recording of our Independent Concentrations Virtual Information Session for UFLi students to learn more about ICs and the UFLi ICer experience at Brown!
We talk about the process of creating an IC, focusing on the experience of UFLi students by featuring current UFli ICer panelists.
