Most high school graduates have the potential to be successful in college if they know how to employ the appropriate strategies for learning.
Many college students take multiple semesters to figure out how to do well in college. We can speed up this process.
Come learn with experienced college professors who will teach you the secrets of college success.
All college courses in the social sciences and humanities rely on the same critical thinking skills: close-reading; careful note-taking; strategic test-taking and analytical paper-writing.
Our small classes allow professors to get to know students as individual learners.
Whether you are on academic probation and need to get back on track or doing well but wanting to do better, we can help you get the extra edge you are looking for.
With no more than 10 students per session, our classes at the Center for Collegiate Success are the ideal size to simulate discussion in the college classroom. You will have the opportunity to improve discussion skills with peers and a friendly professor. You will gain confidence as you practice asking insightful questions and responding to discussion topics in a supportive environment.
You will learn how to closely and actively read academic books, articles, and textbooks for the important concepts.
You will be taught strategies for managing test-taking anxiety and important study and note-taking skills that will help you prepare for exams.
Together our students will practice the important stages of paper-writing including how to come up with a strong thesis statement, build an argument, and conduct research to support it.
Our instructors will also teach you the basics of how to decipher college assignments and anticipate professors’ expectations.
We will conduct a twenty-minute interview with each student to discover your learning needs. We will then develop a personal learning profile that will be shared privately on the first day of class.
