The Developmental Education department is dedicated to providing students with the basic skills necessary for success in college course work and real-world job settings. We provide instruction in basic college mathematics, basic grammar and writing skills, and reading strategies and study skills.
These non-degree credit courses offer students the unique opportunity to refresh and/or supplement the essential foundation skills before moving into college credit coursework. Class sizes are limited to 18 to ensure students can receive the help they need to succeed and are offered in both traditional classroom formats as well as online instruction formats.
We recognize that not all students come to college with the same level of skills nor do they progress at the same pace. In order to address this serious issue, we have developed basic skills online courses as an optional alternative delivery method for students in the areas of Mathematics; English Grammar and Writing; and Study Skills, Reading Strategies / Vocabulary Development.
These courses have been designed in modules, so students can build upon individual skill sets to best suit their needs. These courses are open entry in order to provide instruction when students need it.
