University Transfer Program Scores High Marks
"The teachers in this program are passionate about their courses and you get so much support from them, as well as from your peers. I'm taking courses at university now and I'm prepared and confident in my abilities. The opportunity to explore in this program helped me discover that English is the major I want to pursue - it provides the multi-disciplinary focus I enjoy. I highly recommend the University Transfer program. In fact, I raved about it so much my sister is planning on starting the program this fall."

Here to Support You
"Students in our programs develop skills, knowledge, self-confidence and academic readiness. I'm always amazed at the changes that take place as our students progress throughout their programs. We're helping people to change and improve their lives. Often, they don't believe that they have the ability to do so. They graduate knowing 'I can do it.' This is a very humbling and rewarding experience for our school faculty and staff. If you are ready to start on this educational journey, we are here to support you."
- Ann Drennan,
Dean, School of General Arts and Sciences
