About ISM

The Independent Study and Mentorship (ISM) program is a selective course that encourages students to learn of a career they are interested in. Students selected for the program go through an extensive application and interview process. In the course, they complete research and interviews of their field of interest. The goal at the end of the year is for students to have gained professional experience, created original projects and works, and to have a better understanding of their topic and their own future.
