Explorer-ACCP CENTERS

Get a jump start on college while you study and learn in some of the most exciting cities around the world. ACCP centers are elite high schools and universities worldwide that are approved to serve as a facilitator of ACCP courses for international students.

What is ACCP?

The ACCP (Advanced College Credit Program) is a groundbreaking educational program which allows students to finish college early and transfer to top US, UK, and Canadian universities. IPERC partners with Marquette University, allowing advanced high school or first-year college students to earn up to one year of college education in their own country, which can then be carried over to their future university and applied toward their undergraduate degree.

Students will be able to take the credits they have earned and apply to any university that they wish, or, IPERC will provide them with full application support in applying to an ACCP partner university. Students who meet the ACCP partner university's requirements will receive direct entry and, in most cases, will not even need to submit a TOEFL or IELTS exam score. This program allows students to be fully prepared to enter college and gives them a head start on all other entry level college students.

Why Do Students Choose ACCP?

Enhance University Application

Students that complete the ACCP program will increase their chance of admission to an elite university by demonstrating that they have the ability to succeed in an academically rigorous college program while still in high school.

Standard Curriculum

Curriculums can vary from school to school, making it difficult for universities to accurately evaluate international students. Our ACCP curriculum standards and guidelines are set by our Partner Universities and are the same program-wide, ensuring students are evaluated on more than just their GPA.

Flexibility

ACCP courses are offered year-round and at multiple times a day, allowing students to pursue university study on a schedule that works for them.

Diverse Curriculum

Compared to AP courses and other dual credit programs like IB, ACCP has a wide selection of courses covering 26 different subjects and more than 100 courses in general education.

Partnerships with Elite Universities

ACCP Partner Universities are top-ranked universities that welcome international students from around the world.

Graduate Early

ACCP Students earn up to 34 credit hours of college credit while still in high school, allowing them to begin their university studies years ahead of their peers.

Interactive Teaching Environment

All ACCP courses are taught in real-time and are student-centered, so there is no hiding in an ACCP course! During each course, students will work with their peers through in-class discussions, group projects and presentations, and inquiry-based activities.

Improved Academic English Skills

All ACCP students must complete courses in English for Academic Purpose, where they will learn skills to produce academic research papers, work closely in groups, and communicate their findings through presentations.

Streamlined Application Process

Students are automatically accepted to ACCP Partner Universities as Sophomores upon successful completion of the program without the need for standardized testing.

University Approved Instructors

All ACCP instructors are university approved, have obtained a master's degree or higher, have several years of teaching experience, and are US-based.

University Resources

All students enrolled in ACCP courses will have an official college ID and access to university-provided resources.
