From hitting the exhibit hall floor searching for free swag to sitting in the VIP section of the Eisner Awards (the comics industry's Oscars), this is a field study experience unlike any other.

Feedback from Previous Classes 
"I can't thank you enough for the amazing experience. I look forward to taking the class again next year." --Nick
 
"Next to going Greek, the Comic-Con program was the greatest thing I have done in my college career." --Jacob
 
"Where can you watch sneak preview of your favorite TV shows and meet your favorite author? Where can you conduct research on pop culture and then share your findings in an academic conference? At Comic-Con, that's where. You can do all of this plus more, and what's even better is that you get credit for it and another item to add to your CV and resume for all you interested in grad school. If this isn't enough reason to go to Comic-Con, I don't know what is." --Melissa
