The total time for completing each year’s assignments varies per student, but typically ranges between 50-100 hours.

Updated, executive-quality classrooms provide state-of-the-art technology.

Students are housed in air-conditioned residence halls on Furman’s campus. Each participant will have a private bedroom with shared kitchen and lounge spaces available. All linens and housekeeping service are provided. In the evenings, students can enjoy fresh air from the balcony or take advantage of the many outdoor amenities. Tennis, volleyball and basketball courts as well as walking trails are all located just outside the door. The university’s fitness center is available for participants to use as well. The university also has its own golf course located just one mile from central campus.
Students dine in the university’s renovated facility overlooking the lake. Breakfast and lunch are provided daily. The dining hall offers a variety of options, including made-to-order stations, home-style meals, deli and grill, pizza, salad bar, and bake shop. In the evenings, dinner is on your own, and students use this opportunity to network with fellow classmates and take advantage of downtown Greenville’s many restaurants.
