<p>S received a letter today inviting him to apply to the Sapphire Program at smeal. I know that this is an accelerated program. Are there any PSU students who are in Sapphire on CC? I would be like to hear the advantages and disadvantages of the program, thanks.</p>
<p>I also received a letter and I have tried to find information about it numerous times and have found almost no info.</p>
<p>same here...</p>
<p>Same here. It seems like it's a new program or something. Like irishblues, I've had trouble finding information about it.</p>
<p>I was in Sapphire. Apart from having classes with the same 80-100 kids, there isn't much to it. You also get to start on your business school classes earlier than most students.</p>
<p>I would call someone in Smeal and ask who you can speak to about the Sapphire program. It's relatively new and I believe they're making it stronger every year. For example, I noticed this year that they were offering dedicated study abroad trips for Sapphire Students. Anything that can make the school feel smaller is a good thing...
In any case, looks like they need to improve the marketing and communication of the program...</p>
