Department of Developmental Programs The Department of Developmental Programs provides academic support for all University students, especially those who wish to strengthen their educational preparation in specific areas or who have been out of school for a number of years and feel the need to refresh academic skills. Through developmental courses, individual tutoring, and work in the writing and math laboratories and study skills center, students can develop the skills necessary for successful performance at the college level. Developmental courses are offered in writing, reading, mathematics, chemistry, and college reading and study skills.
