Watson University Immersive Semester Experience

Watson University was created to launch selected student innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs; accelerate their solutions to social, environmental, and economic problems alongside the world’s leading mentors and practitioners; and provide an educational investment that is not only affordable, but will also pay off for the rest of students’ lives.

Watson is a semester-long, immersive experience to launch university-level student innovators, leaders, entrepreneurs and dreamers that includes:

  1. Master Courses taught by a select network of practitioners ranging from a leader of the Nobel Peace prize winning International Campaign to Ban Landmines, to a Time Magazine Hero of the Planet, and transformative entrepreneurs
  2. Award-winning training in empathy, creativity, resilience, grit, teamwork, leadership, and entrepreneurship inspired by Transformative Action Institute
  3. The Watson Lab, where students pilot, prototype, and scale ideas

Full and partial scholarships for tuition and housing, as well as innovative financial assistance options are available from Watson. If a student is accepted as one of the 15-20 Scholars after completing our competitive application process, we are committed to ensuring he or she can afford Watson regardless of financial ability. A Scholar will never have to take out a loan to attend Watson.

Applications are open for the Fall 2014 semester at Watson. The early deadline with preferred admission is March 31st, with the final deadline set at April 15th. Apply here!
