Prior to 2002, the University Orientation Program was the only
program available at AUB designed to help students with weaknesses
in English. And even getting into it required a certain level
of competency in English. After that program was integrated
into the English Department as English 001, Salim Kanaan, director
of Admissions, proposed the University Preparatory Program (UPP).
"I compiled statistics indicating that a considerable number
of applicants to AUB were being denied admission owing to their
weakness in the English language," explained Kanaan. |
