Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA)
One of the hallmarks of our academic program at ISHCMC - American Academy is our involvement with Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA). We have four faculty members who have trained with SUPA to offer Syracuse University courses for credit to our juniors and seniors. Students register online as non-matriculated students of SU, and upon completion of their dual enrollment courses receive an SU transcript in addition to their high school course credit. We are the only school in Vietnam to offer this program and have done so since August 2012.
As the SUPA Coordinator, I have:

Heather's course syllabi in writing & textual studies
As an adjunct instructor, I have attended training and received certification for four Syracuse University courses. The general template, unit structure, core readings, and course objectives are provided by Syracuse University, however, the daily plan, assignments, and choice of literary and additional theoretical texts is decided by each adjunct instructor.
