This school has offered a General Studies program since 1985. According to the university, it is designed for “motivated high school seniors who demonstrate the potential for academic success, but who have not met the traditional academic admission requirements. Counselors, faculty members and administrators identify potentially successful candidates on the basis of their applications and letters of recommendation, as well as through personal interviews.” The program offers small classes and personal advisement for each student.
