University Connection (UniConn)

The University Connection (UniConn) Program successfully prepares students for the challenges of the application and admissions process, as well as the rigors of academic study at the university level.  For the past 5 years, UniConn students have been accepted to a variety of colleges and universities in the United States, including Penn and other top-tier institutions around the country.

University-bound students can choose from two concentrations within the University Connection Program, Academic Admissions and Academic Intensive.  Students receive extensive one-on-one advising and can customize the program to help them achieve their goals within their timelines.  Motivated students can also earn a certificate in English for Academic Purposes to add to their academic resume.
