Overview

The University Bridge Program is designed to help professionals, business executives, and serious university-bound students who have already studied English and completed advanced levels to obtain the preparation they need to succeed in the professional, business, or academic world. The bridge program offers a number of demanding academic courses that include Reading and Critical Thinking, Academic Presentations/Speaking, and Essay and Research Paper Writing.

In addition to the above-named courses, The Bridge Program offers students assistance with their application process and academic advising. Students also have access to test preparation and tutoring/mentoring.
