While in London students complete a freshman writing course with prompts based on contemporary issues with a local context. The various courses include site visits and guest lectures. Accent and UC Berkeley provide orientations on-campus and in London. Students live together with local RAs and intensive on-site programming builds a strong cohort identity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-2\" class=\"gallery galleryid-7162 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large\"><figure class=\"gallery-item\" aria-label=\"Gallery image 1 of 2\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114022\/UCB-3adj.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114022\/UCB-3adj.jpg 882w, https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114022\/UCB-3adj-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114022\/UCB-3adj-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114022\/UCB-3adj-166x125.jpg 166w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class=\"gallery-item\" aria-label=\"Gallery image 2 of 2\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114226\/UCB-4adj.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114226\/UCB-4adj.jpg 885w, https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114226\/UCB-4adj-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114226\/UCB-4adj-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/10114226\/UCB-4adj-167x125.jpg 167w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"menu_order":3,"template":"","sw_program_type":[11],"class_list":["post-7162","sw_program_sample","type-sw_program_sample","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sw_program_type-specialized-programs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Freshmen Get an Edge - Accent Global Learning<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/accentglobal.com\/program-samples\/freshmen-get-extra-edge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Freshmen Get an Edge - Accent Global Learning\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Meeting First-Year Requirements The pilot program was so successful it has become a regular offering called Berkeley Global Edge.
