​â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹UPP's mission centers around three major axes: the teaching of the English Language, the implementation of high-impact educational practices and outreach to the community. Through its diverse courses, the program addresses the specific English Language needs of undergraduate and graduate students with strong academic records but who are unprepared to function in all-English curricula. In addition, the program builds the capabilities of the students to ensure their successful transition and integration into university life, in order to fully benefit from the “̩¹ú²ÊƱexperience". Through the management of scholarship programs, UPP also develops a structured approach for service learning through the students' involvement with community work.​​
