Citizenship Prep Course

Help and education on the path to citizenship


This course aims to introduce students to the citizenship exam and educate them on the proper steps to prepare for it. Participants in this course will also have the opportunity to be directly connected with a legal representative from our Citizenship and Immigration Services Program, affording them the chance to ask any immigration-related questions. Classes are run by Department of Justice (DOJ) accredited representatives who have an established experience attending USCIS interviews with clients.
