Learning Communities: A Personal Look at Different Approaches to the First Year Concourse , ESG, ISP, MAS No enrollment limit, no advance sign up Participants welcome at individual sessions (series) Since 1970, over 3500 first year students have participated in one of MIT's four first-year programs: Concourse, the Experimental Study Group (ESG), the Integrated Study Program (ISP), and the new Media Arts and Sciences program (MAS). What continues to attract students to these programs and what do they gain from the experience? What is it like to teach in one of these programs? A 3-part symposium on teaching and learning jointly sponsored by Concourse, ESG, ISP, and MAS in which faculty, staff, and students will talk about their experiences and contrast them with those of the regular curriculum.
