Phase 3 students can reserve substantial periods of consecutive or non-consecutive time to pursue a project of interest for credit through EXPLORE. Most projects last between one and four months.
EXPLORE electives for project work are unstructured, providing flexible time for students to pursue their projects under the supervision of one or more mentors. These electives must be pre-approved by the relevant EXPLORE Pathway Lead(s). Additional information and the elective proposal form is available in Student Commons (WUSTL Key required). The signed form must be emailed to the EXPLORE Administrative office (explore@wustl.edu) at least four weeks* before the proposed start date.
A number of enrichment electives are also available for students interested in building advanced knowledge and skills with an EXPLORE Pathway of interest.
Your Pathway Leads are your best sources of information about possible electives. Contact information is available at the below sites:
*Note that projects requiring access to VA resources need advanced planning. Please let us know at least 3 months ahead of your planned start date.
