ACRA Schools Survey
Our list of "ACRA Schools" and the programs they offer hasn't been
updated in many years. Jungkun Park of Purdue has created a short
survey that will enable us to update our materials. The survey will
take less than 5 minutes to complete.
The link is below. If you have any questions or comments regarding the
survey, please write to Jungkun Park. Thanks.
