Gersh College Experience - Post Secondary Program for students with Neurobiological Disorders

The Program

Located in the Buffalo, New York area, The Gersh Experience, in partnership with Daemen College , offers fully accredited, college level courses leading to a Bachelor’s Degree in a variety of majors in the Arts and Sciences, Health and Human Services, Pre-Professional Programs and Interdisciplinary Studies.

The instructors are Daemen faculty, 85% of whom have doctorates or terminal degrees in their field of expertise. Consultants knowledgeable of the needs of individuals with neurobiological disorders will work with both the faculty and students to build relationships, clarify expectations, support learning, and assist in the successful completion of course work. Each Gersh student works closely with an advisor to develop a customized program to address the student’s goals, interests, and needs.

Study skills classes are provided regularly throughout each semester to assist students in developing their academic skills. Tutoring is available both individually and in small learning communities whenever a student is experiencing difficulty with the content of one or more of his/her classes. Additionally, review sessions are held prior to major examinations in all courses being offered on the Gersh campus.

During the first and second year of coursework through the Gersh Experience, each student participates in the development of a transition plan to prepare for taking coursework in subsequent years on the Daemen campus. Each student’s transition plan will describe the level and types of support he/she will need to successfully participate in all aspects of a Daemen College experience.
