McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
The McNeese PRIME Program is a two-year program that helps students with intellectual disabilities learn functional academics, independent living skills, social and leisure skills, and health and wellness skills, while focusing on career development in a university setting. This program gives students the tools they need to become as self-sufficient as possible and a college experience that will enrich their lives.
Students admitted into the program will complete PRIME coursework, audit academic courses offered by the university and complete internships related to their career interests. During fall and spring commencement exercises, students will receive a certificate of completion, indicating that they have completed the necessary PRIME requirements as well as career readiness training, and social/community integration.
