AUC Students

All students who will be entering their first year of college are encouraged to attend during the last three and a half weeks of summer in AUC's Summer IgnitionProgram.

The Summer Ignition Program involves compact college courses in art, math, religion, and computers or physical education, as well as mini-courses designed to prepare students for a rewarding college experience. Many spiritual and social activities are planned, and students can take advantage of summertime in New England.

A big part of Ignition includes learning to balance spiritual, academic, social activities, and work responsibilities. By attending Ignition you can make new friends, adjust to the academic load of college courses, find a job and start working 2-3 hours daily.

Spiritual activities include:

  • Friday night vespers programs
  • Sabbath afternoon hikes
  • Progressive supper
Social activities include:
  • Kimball's Ice Cream / Minigolf
  • Waterslides / Swimming
  • Worcester Tornadoes Baseball Game
  • Cook out / Barbeque

While admission to AUC is not a requirement to participate in the program, the following criteria are required:

  • Evidence of high school completion with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.20 or a minimum GED score of 2500.
  • A composite score of 17 or higher on the ACT with an English score of 17 or higher or an SAT
    composite score of 830 or higher with a verbal score of 430 or higher.
  • An official copy of your high school transcript mailed directly to the Office of Admissions.
