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. Understanding human thought and behavior - the essence of psychology - is crucial for success in any field. Adelphi undergraduate psychology majors develop the knowledge, analytical abilities and experience to excel in fields as varied as education, healthcare and business. At Adelphi, students will find knowledgeable and accessible faculty members who are committed to their success. Undergraduates regularly collaborate with each other and with faculty members on original research. Begin the learning process by creating a strategic plan that focuses on their career goals. With the help of one of our faculty advisers, they can determine whether that plan should include non-psychology courses, for instance, and they can also choose the courses that are most applicable to their discipline. Just know that every student must complete 41 credits in psychology, and these courses generally follow a defined sequence.
