Opportunity Program
The Opportunity Program provides students whose high school records and/or SAT/ACT scores do not reflect their actual potential and seeks to prepare them for success from the moment they enter college. Participants reside on campus and are introduced to both the academic and social aspects of college life as well as basic skill development in reading, writing, critical thinking, career and educational planning, and effective decision making. Students will also learn how to connect to the larger campus community.
