EPIC Pilot Program Yields Promising Results, Valuable Student Experience

In preliminary results, the Experiential Project-based Interdisciplinary Curriculum (EPIC) is showing promise to help raise grade point averages and to mitigate the chances of poor performance, failing or withdrawing from core curriculum classes.
