Western-Style Learning

All courses offered at ACCP centers follow a Western style of instruction that emphasizes active student participation in discussions and encourages in-depth analysis and critical thinking. 

Lecture

First-Year Seminar

All ACCP Center students are required to take a first-year seminar course. Similar to courses offered at universities around the world, the first-year seminar is meant to prepare students to study and live on a university campus abroad.

Student Looking at Building

Community Connections

In addition to the in-person courses taken at ACCP centers, students may participate in ACCP-sponsored events and activities outside the classroom. Events include school outings, prominent speakers, academic presentations, alumni networking events, and major-specific information sessions.
