Every Greenwood Scholar trains inside one of three career academies. Choosing well is the most consequential decision you'll make in this process.

Read all three. Understanding what each Academy trains you for, and where it can take you, is how you find the one that fits you best. Scholars indicate an academy when they apply and confirm it during their first course, Professional Clarity, so be intentional about your choice. Your Academy is where we start preparing you for your career.
