"Offered by the Wisconsin Center for Academically Talented Youth, this program provides academically talented high school students the unique opportunity to study advanced, rigorous curriculum, experience college life AND earn fully-transferable college credit, while at the same time receive the social and emotional support that high school students need and which are hallmarks of all WCATY programs. CAP was developed in close collaboration with UW-La Crosse faculty and administrators to offer students a one-of-a-kind academic experience in Wisconsin, with small class sizes of 16-22 students. CAP courses fully accelerate students into college-level content; upon successful completion students will earn four credits as a head start on a college degree. Students enjoy most of the privileges and responsibilities of regularly enrolled college students but with the WCATY touch: in addition to coursework, students live with other gifted students for the three-week period, develop relationships with those students and faculty, and grow in understanding of their abilities and interests. Of course there’s also time built in to relax, have fun and take part in residential activities outside the classroom.
NOTE: A commuter option with meal plan is available."
