Early Success Program
Early Success Program
  • The Early Success Program (ESP) is a year-long, structured academic support program that provides participants with the tools and support needed to achieve academic and personal success during their first year at Clemson. ESP is in no way a remedial program, but rather a foundational program geared at easing the transition from high school to college.
