Post-Grad Academics
The University and Language Center (ULC) coordinates the post graduate academic program. A post graduate year is an additional year after high school graduation. Students benefit from a post graduate year for many reasons including an extra year to mature physically and mentally, to improve one’s academic profile, and enhance athletic ability to earn a collegiate scholarship. All post-graduate students are required to participate in our College Planning Seminar to guide students through the admissions & recruitment process.
