MATH BRIDGE

Math Bridge is a required  math program for new and continuing students who could benefit from additional math support.  It is designed to help students build confidence AND mathematical skill.  The program is FREE.   

Students, with the help and support of the Math Bridge instructor, will work with an online tool called ALEKS.  Since the program is tailored to each participant and is self-paced, students may be able to complete the requirement before the actual end of the program.   No grades are given.

Math Bridge is offered prior to the start of fall and spring semester so that students can start right away in one of our college math course (Math 102, 104 or 111).     

Remember, students with a Math bridge placement must complete the program before starting their math class.

Math Bridge saves time and money while building confidence and success.

SAVE TIME

Everyone need to take at least one college math course to graduate. Math Bridge eliminates the need to take any remedial math course  and allows all students, no matter what their placement,  to start in the math course designed for their meta major.  

SAVE MONEY

Math Bridge has replaced our remedial math course, so the Math Bridge approach has saved you up to $1200!  Plus, Math Bridge program is FREE. 

BUILD CONFIDENCE 

Students who complete their math graduation requirement in their first year are more likely to graduate on time. Math Bridge is a great way to build on your math skills but to also build your confidence.
