All students are thoroughly tested and evaluated in private sessions with regard to their reading, writing, verbal, and mathematical skills. In addition, career counseling is provided. The aim of Middle College counseling is to assess each student's talents and interests in order to provide direction and goals for the college experience. The academic program offers a chance to improve specific learning skills essential to college success. The classes, offered at several levels in several disciplines, are for Middle College students only, thereby allowing small class size and close contact between students and faculty.
All students take a study skills course, which serves as a core of the program.
In addition, students may select two or three courses from among those offered each year.
