Can my student earn high school or college credit for his/her participation in BLAM?
For reasons of principle and practicality, BLAM does not offer credit. Although our program is intensive, its short duration prevents us from offering students enough contact hours to earn credit. Moreover, BLAM is a very new program, and its designers are still developing its curriculum and other aspects. In addition, we hope that the students who enroll in BLAM are interested primarily in the experience of participating in the program rather than earning credit. There are many other summer academic programs in which students may earn high-school credit. Although BLAM will not offer credit, the program will recognize a student’s completion of the program. A few weeks after the program, students will receive brief description of the program and a letter of evaluation from their instructors.
