Academic Development


This college level educational support program is designed to enable students to complete their chosen curriculum by increasing options for academic success for all students.

Each student's strengths and weaknesses are diagnosed in the areas of English, reading, and mathematics. Students participate in stimulating self-paced, teacher-assisted instruction, as well as lecture and discussion. Computer-assisted instruction is also available. The instructor prescribes individual programs to assist students in improving those skills which would afford them the greatest degree of satisfaction, competency, and success.
