Grad Prep Course

The AAP Graduate School Preparation course (HC101G) is a six-week intensive graduate preparation program for eligible AAP and Athletics Department students. The program's goals are to increase student awareness about graduate schools and to increase AAP and Athletics student competitiveness for graduate admissions.

Note: Class workshops and presentations are available online via podcasting for students unable to enroll officially in the course.
