Welcome To the Summer Transition Enrichment Program (STEP)

STEP 2007

Welcome to STEP!

For seven weeks during the summer, you will be part of American University’s Summer Transition Enrichment Program – STEP.  Each year up to 30 first-year applicants are selected for this intensive introduction to the AU community.  Along with participating in freshmen orientation, you’ll take classes and seminars that prepare you for freshmen courses – and can earn you up to four credits toward graduation.

STEP’s mission is to help you ease the transition from high school to college, be empowered through knowledge and self-discovery, and develop academic skills you’ll need to succeed.

 

“STEP is designed to give a select group of students an academic advantage—but after seven weeks you gain so much more. You gain confidence, experience, and a new family of people, who are there to support, motivate, and love you.”
—Nikia B. Wilkins, STEP 2007
