This morning, a representative from Soka University, Ramon, came to Savanna High School to share information about this new college with AVID students.
Soka University is a new college, created in 2001. It is a private university located in Aliso Viejo that has an emphasis in Liberal Arts. The tuition is comparable to other private universities, but this tuition also includes a 4 - 6 month study abroad as well as a laptop computer for each student. There are more than 30 countries represented at Soka. Class sizes are small, the average being 13 students per class. The ratio of students to faculty is 9 to 1.
Students are encouraged to go online to www.soka.edu to find out more information about this university. In addition, on Saturday, November 22nd, Soka University will be opening up for students to check out. There will be club presentations, information given out, and a free sample of the food. Students should take advantage of this opportunity to see Soka University on their own.
