This office also provides the students with personal counseling, information on health insurance requirements and banking, and programs to promote cross cultural and international understanding.

The SCS Writing Center is a free resource available to all students in the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies program, all Master of Professional Studies programs, and the Semester in Washington, D.C. program.
