The Academic Advancement Program (AAP) is a multi-racial, multi-cultural program which represents the best of what U.S. society aspires to: access, equity, opportunity, and excellence. AAP has a threefold mission: to insure the academic success and graduation of its 5,500 students; to increase the numbers of these students entering graduate and professional schools; and to develop the academic, political, scientific, economic, and community leadership necessary to transform our society in the twenty-first century.
