Preparatory Enrollment Program (PEP)
The Preparatory Enrollment Program (PEP) is a bridge program for Rhode Island residents that supports the academic and personal development of first-generation college students. The program places a strong emphasis on first year support services to lay the foundation for student success. PEP students engage in a summer transition program, individual advising, and weekly programming in an affirming environment that values the diversity of individual experiences and honors the legacy of first-generation students.
