One of the missions of South Campus is to serve students who may be underprepared for college-level work in one or more areas or who need review because they have been out of school for a number of years. The School of University Studies offers courses that build the knowledge and skills necessary for academic success. Preparatory courses in English and algebra enable students to fulfill pre-college curriculum requirements and prepare students for sequential 100-level courses. Reading improvement, vocabulary development, and college study skills courses build comprehension and methodologies that assist students in all academic areas. University Experience courses facilitate development of academic and leadership skills.
