Narrative

American International College has partnered with College Steps to provide individualized college support for students living with social, communication, or learning challenges.

College Steps serves 3 groups of students:

  • Enrolled students for whom navigating college is challenged by social, academic, or independent living barriers
  • High school transition students
  • Returning students interested in our 2-year certificate program
  • Each of our programs is managed by an on-campus Program Coordinator who seamlessly interfaces with faculty and staff and oversees our network of trained peer mentors. Peer mentors provide customized social, academic, and relevant vocational training support to College Steps scholars.
