What is UMAP Program C? Program C consists of short-term (one to eight-week) programs offered by UMAP Participating institutions. Programs are generally offered between May and September and are available in a wide range of disciplines: cultural studies, language proficiency courses, vocational training, entrepreneurship, and more.
Institutions offering Program C may charge or waive tuition fees for students and may choose whether to offer credit for the program. Program C is administered through the USCO platform. UMAP institutions may register program C offerings until December 1, 2021 for the first application cycle or February 28, 2022 for the second application cycle.
A Program C Information Session and Q&A was held on Zoom. You can watch the recording here.
