They have changed the college credit/classes around a bunch of times since the program started. When I was there, we had to go to 8 business seminars regardless of whether you were getting college credit or not (I was not). I think a majority of the people I met there were getting some sort of credit for the program. Now I think whatever classes they have are optional.

I did the program 2nd semester of my junior year when many of my friends were going abroad. I was planning on taking that semester off anyway as I had enough credits to graduate in three and a half years but still wanted to graduate with my class in May 2001. My plan was to either come home to Boston and get some sort of internship here for the semester or do the CP. February in Orlando sounded much more pleasant than February in Boston!

I can't stress how different the CP is from just working part time at a different place even if you don't take any of the extra classes. The training I received down there for my regular role was more than I have had for almost any other job and really influenced my attitudes towards work and general business organization. It was a really great experience!
