Signature Programs
At Berkshire, learning goes far beyond the classroom. Our Signature Programs and unique courses empower students to dive deeply into areas they’re passionate about—combining real-world experience, expert mentorship, and advanced academic challenge.
The Advanced Math/Science Research program is one of the biggest reasons I came to Berkshire in the first place. I was able to design my own project and see it through. I think it's a great program, where you can explore any interest you have in STEM." Fiona Dong '23
