Real college courses: Unique benefits, invaluable experiences.
What is the ASC College Prep Program?
Once you have been at ASC for a minimum of two sessions, you can take a placement test at ASC and enroll in a real university class. You may choose among the hundreds of courses from ASC education partners such as Quincy College and Northeastern University.
College Prep Program: University Course + ASC English Class
Students will take one class at part-time rates at the ASC partner university or college. The rest of the time will be spent at ASC, where we will continue your intensive English and academic training and assist you with your coursework.
After your first two semesters at an ASC partner college or university, you'll take only one course at ASC, equally divided between classroom instruction and lab time. You'll spend most of your time in your full-time university courses. Our faculty will continue to help you with your college class work and will administer further academic support based on your needs.
After completing our Super A College Prep Program, ASC students always have a significant advantage over other international students when applying to an American college or university.
Why should you consider the College Prep Program?
To succeed in college, students need both English fluency and other necessary classroom skills.
Hands-on University Classroom Experience
For example, international students often struggle with understanding their professors and participating in classroom discussions. They are also not accustomed to taking notes from lectures. By participating in the College Prep Program, students will have the opportunity to learn the basic and essential classroom skills from a real university class.
International students also often have great difficulties with college level writing assignments. ASC College Prep English classes will target this common weakness and help you improve your writing skills.
In the College Prep Program, students will have the opportunity of sampling college life and coursework, as well as access to the university facilities. Students will also be able to enjoy the unique experience of university campus social activities and events.
