The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but who also want the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip students with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework. Students may enter the program in the spring, summer or fall. Upon completion of the program, students progress into the second year of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits. The business track of the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies is enhanced by Adelphi’s proximity to New York City, providing both intellectual and practical opportunities to majors in the business track. In the senior year, students conduct either an original interdisciplinary research project or an internship that allows them to apply the interdisciplinary knowledge they have gained in the classroom. An intensive language component enables students to communicate effectively in their target language and gives them a crosscultural perspective of the countries whose language they are studying.
