The Developmental Studies Program
Students may be required to complete developmental courses in English, mathematics and reading, based on ACT and SAT sub-scores.
Freshmen enrolled in some developmental courses during their first semester of registration are provided an opportunity to “test out” through demonstration of skills mastery on departmental tests. Credits earned in developmental courses do not satisfy General Studies requirements or requirements for majors and minors in the degree-granting colleges.
Students required to complete developmental courses are counseled to understand their college education may extend beyond four years.
The role of the Developmental Studies Program is to offer developmental courses, small group and individualized laboratory work computer-assisted instruction and special tutoring for students who have demonstrated weaknesses in basic skills areas. The program is designed to assist students in achieving acceptable skill levels for successful performance in the General Studies.
