On Monday, January 22nd, SUNY Korea launched the Access to Excellence (AE) Program for the newly enrolled freshmen of the Spring 2024 semester. Scheduled to run from January 22 to February 2, the program is designed to offer comprehensive academic support, focusing on collegiate-level English and Math classes. During these two weeks, 52 incoming students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in coursework, connect with their peers, and integrate into the college community, aiding their adaptation to university life.
The primary goal of the AE Program is to help the incoming students prepare both mentally and academically for the upcoming Spring 2024 semester. The program boasts a diverse curriculum, featuring a morning session dedicated to Academic Speaking & Writing (English) and an afternoon session offering a Refresher STEM Class (Math). In addition, students who demonstrate excellence in attendance and exhibit the most improvement in their grades will receive recognition and rewards.
The AE program presents a unique opportunity for freshmen to elevate their scores in placement exams and establish a robust academic foundation for their journey at SUNY Korea.
