OUTLINE OF THE PROCESS ITSELF
The educational philosophy, pioneered by founding Chancellor, Dr. Henry L. N. Anderson, seeks to educate "the whole person." This means providing training that is appropriate to the needs of the individual. Thus, CULA seeks to implement its "schollege methodology," by providing a terminal tract to each qualified individual, whether a drop-out from high school or from a higher level college program. The CULA PROCESS is our uniqueness.
