Campus Visit Programs

You and your students can visit

our campuses through a range

of weekday and weekend options.

Through our innovative Freshman Advanced Study Track (FAST) we offer students the opportunity

to bench test for lab credit if they

successfully complete an approved

FAST program. This provides students

with the chance to start earning

their degree while they are still in

a secondary school or tech-prep/

vocational school that has a formal

articulation agreement with JWU.

Students can save time and money

and have the chance to reach their

potential ahead of schedule.

PROSTART

Students participating in ProStart

curriculum can earn a minimum of a

$1,000 renewable scholarship based

on successful completion of the

ProStart program.

Note: FAST only applies to culinary arts majors. It is not applicable to baking & pastry arts majors.

actually have a head start on their

curriculum before even attending their first

day of class!

in savings.

Saving on classes also means possibly

graduating earlier, which means students

all schools that have established FAST

programs with JWU.

A transfer advisor will work with you one-

on-one to make sure students who’ve

passed the bench exam earn credits

toward their degree programs at JWU.

Schools will also be recognized in the

following ways:

n Your school’s program will be recognized by JWU as an “Outstanding High School Program.”

n Your school will receive a classroom presentation by a JWU admissions representative detailing the many benefits of the FAST program (where applicable).

Our Commitment to Affordability

A JWU education might be surprisingly more affordable than your students think.

We’re committed to making a quality education as accessible and affordable as possible for families. We’ve taken proactive steps to manage student debt by increasing institutional aid every year for the past five years.
