Is CSP harder than the first-year Standard Program?
CSP students are challenged to think for themselves and work towards understanding scientific concepts, rather than memorize dictated material. The program also requires a weekly two-hour commitment to the interdisciplinary workshops. However, CSP also offers the academic and social support needed to meet this challenge, particularly through the community of CSP students. In most courses, CSP students write the same final exams as students in regular sections.
