Clemson’s PEER/WISE Experience (PWE) offers a glimpse of what your first year will be like. This optional introductory program is a great way to meet other students in your major while taking introductory classes in General Engineering, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Excel, College Readiness and Research. In addition, you’ll earn 3 hours of college credit.
Summer 2024: June 27th ‐ July 26th
Students will have the chance to meet Clemson undergraduate/graduate students majoring in Science, Mathematics, or Engineering (STEM). They will tour different industries in the area to learn about possible areas for internships. They will also complete courses that will prepare them for their first year in engineering or computer science.
Participants will also enjoy a wide array of games, activities and industry tours. Sign up now so you won’t miss out on the PEER & WISE Experience!
You’ll find a variety of engineering and math classes. These introductory classes review some of the necessary objectives for achieving success at the college level. They’re designed to identify areas that may require further review while providing insight on real classroom experiences.
Students will be able to engage with fellow students, current faculty and staff. There will also be opportunities to attend workshops on topics such as undergraduate research, graduate school, study skills and time management, and adjusting to college. Industry tours will also be available. Prior to the start of classes on August 21, 2024, students will be given the opportunity to attend a Meet and Greet where they will meet PEER & WISE staff and mentors.
SAT and ACT scores are not required but if you have taken them you must have an ACT score of 27 or above or an SAT MATH score of 640 or above. If you did not take the ACT or SAT, you must have completed the Clemson Math Placement Test (CMPT) with a score of 65. The cost of the CMPT is $25 for the first attempt. You are allowed two additional attempts at $10 each.
The PWE will take place June 27th - July 31th, 2024. Orientation is June 26th and the first week (June 27th - July 5th) will be online with no classes on July 4th.
