The Signature Experience at Peddie
At Peddie, you build your own education.
That's why we created the Signature Experience. In your junior and senior years, you'll have the opportunity to design your own program of independent research or creative work and pursue it under the guidance of faculty mentors.
Whether you want to study the inner workings of robots, hone your creative writing skills, dive deep into a foreign language or curate an art exhibit, you can immerse yourself fully in your field of choice. You'll have even more freedom if you choose a summer program, where the entire experience – the concept, the goals and the execution – belongs to you. No matter what you want to study, you'll find a place for it at Peddie.
My EXP [Signature Experience] at Stanford created such a passion for research. I was able to join a lab at Vanderbilt my first semester since I had that experience. I am still doing research in a quantitative methods/psychology lab and writing a thesis. Over these past 3 years, I have been fortunate enough to to publish multiple papers and am looking to pursue a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior once I graduate. None of this would have been possible or even on my radar if it weren’t for EXP, so thank you so much for inspiring my passion for research. Megan Gabruk ’17
