Challenge is OMED’s signature bridge program. It is a five-week, intensive program that is held every summer for incoming Georgia Tech freshman. In Challenge, students are immersed in the Georgia Tech environment; they live in a freshman dorm, take classes provided by Georgia Tech professors, and participate in social and academic workshops provided by upper-class Tech students.
During the five weeks, Challenge students take core courses that simulates a typical students’ freshman year. The courses are taught in the same manner, and pace, as a real Georgia Tech course. This allows students to become familiarize with Georgia Tech academics as well as understand mistakes and pitfalls that may occur in their first year.
Along with taking courses, Challenge participants live in Georgia Tech dormitories with upperclassmen know as counselors. These “Challenge Counselors” provide the students with academic and social knowledge of the Tech environment in the form of workshops, field trips, and day-to-day interactions. Counselors of the Challenge program are hand picked according to academic merit, community involvement, and prior Challenge experience.
