Many students have ability but have not been highly motivated to learn and achieve. Many don't yet realize the importance of a college education. Most need counseling to help them reassess their educational goals and abilities, and they need developmental courses to help them overcome academic deficiencies. Professional counselors provide academic guidance, program planning, diagnostic testing, and other services related to human development. In addition, we teach remedial and developmental courses in study skills, reading, English, English as a second language, and mathematics.
Many faculty members have special training in developmental education.
Tutorial services are available to assist students who need more extensive help. Many students who successfully complete these developmental courses go on to become successful in one of our university parallel or technical programs. They're easy to get to, with modern classrooms and labs, plenty of free parking, and comfortable lounge and game areas for students. We know how important the physical environment can be to learning. You'll find the basic academic courses, the kind that transfer to senior colleges, on all four campuses.
