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, and College Readiness. In addition, you’ll earn 3 hours of college credit.
Orientation: Sunday, June 29th at 5:00 pm (online) | PWE: Monday, June 30th through Friday, July 25th
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.
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 are 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 internships, 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 20, 2025, students will be given the opportunity to attend a Meet and Greet where they will meet PEER & WISE staff and mentors.
Our programming is open to all accepted incoming students in engineering majors. 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 30th through Friday, July 25, 2025. Orientation is Sunday, June 29th at 5 pm online. The first week of classes are online with no classes on July 4th.
Clemson has many Summer Pathways to consider. Be sure to check them all out and determine the best program for you!
