Project EXCEL is a comprehensive academic support system for students with learning disabilities who are enrolled at the College of Mount St. Joseph. Initiated in 1982, Project EXCEL has proven to be a highly successful intervention program. Students who participate in EXCEL attain academic success through their working partnership with the EXCEL professional staff, Mount faculty and other study resources at the College. Project EXCEL is a for-fee program.

All Project EXCEL students are educated in the broad spectrum of the liberal arts while having the opportunity for an education that provides a career orientation. There are no restrictions with regard to choice of majors for the students in Project EXCEL, other than they must meet established department criteria.

What Students Are Saying

Responses to 2004 Project EXCEL Career Education Self Study

“Take it all in!  It was one of the best things for me.  There is so much to gain from the program (EXCEL).  So many people to learn from and so many people there with open arms to help you to be the best you can be.”

“My experience with EXCEL brought me confidence, understanding, lots of patience and so many skills to utilize throughout my life as a student, daughter, wife, nurse and parent.”

“Believe in yourself, because EXCEL does!”
