Student Testimonial
“Throughout the pandemic, I have been thinking of what my transition to college would look like.My counselor suggested different dual enrollment programs and Auburn was a school I had been researching and studying to further my academic career. This program prepared me to navigate the principles in transitioning from a high school curriculum to studying and learning on a different more robust level. If I were asked if I would go back and do this again, I definitely would.”
