GAC Education Center at UIC Opens
GAC Education Center in Zhuhai, located at UIC student Hostel & Culture Village, was opened the same day. First of its kind in Zhuhai, the GAC Education Center at UIC will commence enrollment this year.
GAC is the world's most recognized university preparation program for students who do not have English as their first language. All students who complete the GAC are eligible to take the ACT TEST, a multiple choice test that is used extensively by universities in the USA to determine university entry. As a GAC graduate, the student will possess university admission requirements including an ACT score and a GAC grade point average (GPA). Having a GAC also means advantage of applying for scholarships. Students are taught by the experienced foreign teachers who have ACT training and obtain international teaching qualifications. The programme will be carried out in small scale classes (no more 25 students) entirely in English.
