C4 Launchpad 3.0

C4 Management 3.0

  • This is a finishing program for C4 alumni and graduate students. Students are given the opportunity to lead a team of undergraduates who are registered in C4 Launchpad. Together, they will work intensively over a semester on one big, complex, multidisciplinary project, pitched by off-campus partners.

C4 Odyssey 6.0

  • This year-long course is student-driven, multi-disciplinary, and socially-engaged. It is for undergraduate students who want to own the whole process-from research to project management to outcomes.
