Courses Offered

I am seeking a college experience that will help me understand what will be expected from me once I finish high school. Also, I am trying to be exposed to as many professional fields as possible in order to help me choose a study path and career. I met so many great people, took a campus tour, attended a startup accelerator program, and visited an urban landscape company. In Egypt, the business environment is so creative and rich, and it’s wonderful to witness it firsthand as a student.
