The Cultural and Academic Transitions course is designed to help the first time college student, a first generation college student (and family), and non-native English speakers who will be transitioning into the culture of the United States of America. This is accomplished by providing instruction in U.S. government on national and local levels, economic issues, cultural and social issues, and education. This course is developed in both English and Spanish.  A toggle button allows the learner to choose the language of instruction for each piece of content in the course.
