SALZBURG COLLEGE CPP

The Salzburg College College Preparation Program (CPP) combines intensive study of English with preparation for successful study at American colleges and universities. Participants experience an integrated 2-semester program focused on instruction in English language and Western culture proficiency, university study skills and academic writing, and content-based course work typical of an American university classroom. Upon successful completion, students are guaranteed an easy transfer to Salzburg College’s School of Record, Seminole State College of Florida. At the end of the first semester, students take the TOEFL exam. During the second semester, students are either prepared to take the SAT exam or may, if qualified, complete their first semester of university courses at Salzburg College.
