Developmental Education
The Developmental Education program offers individual courses that prepare students for college-level work in math, writing, and college studies. High quality instruction, small class sizes, and out-of-class support are hallmarks of the Developmental Education program.
Credit from developmental coursework (below 100-level) does not count as college-level credit and does not meet graduation credit requirements for diploma or degree programs. Grade points earned in this course are not included in a student’s grade point average calculation. Developmental courses may be used to determine financial aid eligibility.
Developmental courses are designed to develop students' skills to ensure success in subsequent courses. Courses taught include:
