<p>I am interested in applying to the Comprehensive Studies Program, but I cannot find an application form on the program's website. Can someone tell me how entering frenshman apply to it? What is the deadline? It is rolling admission?</p>
<p>anyone can take classes through comprehensive studies, once you enroll. I personally was just placed in it from the start, but I’m sure there’s a way to get in it otherwise.</p>

<p>ktwish101, did you fill out an application in order to be placed in the Program? When did you receive their invitation? I am still not very familiar with the Program. What is “to take classes through comprehensive studies”? Thank you!</p>
<p>Why, exactly, do you want to be in the program? The program is designed for people who the university thinks would benefit from some extra mentoring/advising during the school year and to help them get assimilated to the college workload. Typically, students in CSP have their own special advisors and sections for classes. I really doubt you can apply for it.</p>
<p>When I got admitted last spring, I was just automatically put into the comprehensive studies program. Usually the University picks certain students who they think would benefit from the program, I’m personally a first generation college student.
Have you looked at their website? You can reach it from the main Michigan page and probably get more information on the program and possibly how to sign up…</p>
<p>The comprehensive studies program is an amazing program that I would highly recommend to anyone. There are separate advisors for those in the program and extra free tutoring and help if needed. Many people look at the program and think it’s for the “slow” kids, but anyone who thinks like that clearly isn’t aware of what they can get out of it.
The way in which the csp classes differ from regular classes at umich is that the class sizes are capped and therefore much smaller, giving lots of individual attention and a more personal feel. The instructors are all professors, no gsi’s which a huge plus.
Last semester I took calc 1 with csp as well as english and I couldn’t have asked for better. I don’t think I would have done as well without the great professors I had.</p>
<p>Do they really have professors with Ph.D’s teaching Math 115?</p>
