Preparing Students for College-Level Learning

The Office of Academic Support Programs offers a series of courses that introduce students to the fundamental principles of college-level learning and give them intensive training in the use of those principles in their other courses.

Two courses (CRW Z111, CRW Z112) introduce students to the basic elements of academic thinking; they provide training in the critical reading and analysis of texts drawn from courses across the liberal arts curriculum, and in the writing of academic papers.

Three other courses (MathSK 097, MathSK 098 and MathSK 099) focus on helping students successfully learn quantitative material that they will encounter in various courses.

This office also administers several General Education First-Year Seminars.
