The mission of the Program for Academic Advancement is to positively impact the retention and graduation rates of first-generation students, low income students, and students with disabilities.

Attending college can be one of the most rewarding and challenging things you can do in your life. The Program for Academic Advancement can provide you with the help, guidance and support you need to succeed at Fort Lewis College.
