FAQs

Who can apply for this program?

SCU students who will be Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors during Fall are eligible to apply.

What is the time commitment?

Students commit to Fall quarter. We anticipate that students will spend about 2 - 4 hours per week working on course requirements in additional to scheduled class meetings.

Can students participate in both Venture Virtuoso and SCU Study Abroad?

No, because the program is limited to fall quarter, we cannot permit students to be part of this program and on a study abroad program. We are looking for students who will be participating face to face.
