College Preparatory Program
This year, Goshen College is excited to offer a one-week summer college preparatory program. This program will set you up with skills and tools for college-level reading and writing.
Why participate in this program?
- You will have the opportunity to get firsthand experience of what it’s like to be in a college class without the pressure of grades or taking a course for credit.
- You’ll connect with fellow incoming GC students throughout the program, which means you’ll start day one at GC already knowing at least 20 other people!
- Many college preparatory programs are several weeks long. With GC’s program you’ll get a high quality program in a short amount of time.
