The Center for Pre-Academic Studies

The center offers preparatory programs for applicants who do not meet the admission requirements or who wish to improve their grades in order to enter programs of higher learning.

The center helps students develop the tools and methods needed to succeed in academic studies. It also provides a second chance for mature applicants who did not complete their high school matriculation and now strive to acquire an academic education. Successful completion enables students to gain college admission on the basis of their preparatory program grades. Thousands of graduates have gone on to pursue degree studies and excel in their academic and professional careers.
