The University’s commitment to academic excellence is manifested
through the College Advantage Program. This program provides
qualified students a concurrent enrollment in their high school and
college credit-bearing courses for the University. This
program is offered to qualified juniors and seniors during the
academic year.
Specific courses are offered in the areas of English,
mathematics, language, fine arts, science and humanities.
- The program provides students with an opportunity to earn
college credit while still in high school. This benefits
high-achieving students to be further motivated and to get a
“headstart” on college.
- It also provides reduced tuition costs to students and parents,
and serves as an assessment of a student’s ability to do college
level work.
