The department administers SEEK, a City University program that provides a structured curriculum of developmental courses, counseling, tutorial assistance, and financial aid for economically and educationally disadvantaged students. Counselors assess and encourage each student's progress.
Students meet individually and in groups to discuss their concerns.
The curriculum consists of reading, writing, speech, mathematics, and specially developed electives. See course descriptions in this Bulletin . The center offers SEEK students tutoring and supplemental instruction in basic skills, core courses, and introductory and advanced courses in all majors. It assists students in adapting to the college curriculum. The tutorial center is staffed primarily by peer tutors who have demonstrated success in their own academic programs.
