PEER & WISE Advantage
Your Competitive Edge in STEM
More Than Just Academic Support
PEER & WISE isn't just another campus resource—it's your success accelerator for navigating the challenges of science and engineering majors. We've built a comprehensive ecosystem of support specifically designed for students in the College of Science and the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences who want not just to survive but thrive in their technical disciplines.
Our approach combines academic reinforcement with real-world connections and professional development that traditional classrooms simply can't provide. The result? PEER & WISE students consistently report higher GPAs, greater confidence, and more impressive job offers than their peers.
