STEM
Special Living Options
Every WISE Constituent College and the WISE Institute provide a Special Living Option (SLO) for students who choose to live on the residence halls. SLOs provide you with an opportunity to interact socially and academically with students in similar fields of study creating a close knit community and strong relationships between students, faculty, and staff affiliated with the SLO.
The WISE Institute houses the only single-sex SLO available at University Park campus: the WISE House. In addition, we support and promote the STEM SLO programs run by the 6 WISE Constituent Colleges. All STEM SLOs are listed below with a link to the SLO’s home page when possible.
