QEP

Building a Path Towards Success

Purpose

Required by the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)*, the EU QEP is designed to support freshmen as they transition from high school to college and begin the path towards degree completion and career success.

Program Highlights

Freshmen are required to complete EU 101 Foundations, a 10-week course dedicated to equipping students with tools for success, improving their understanding of key academic, personal and social skills, and connecting them to the community and culture of Emmanuel.
