Head Start Programs

The Office of Community Education offers two academic preparation programs – Head Start on Math and Head Start on Writing. The workshops are aimed at preparing incoming college freshmen with skills to take on college-level courses.

Head Start on Math gives students the opportunity to work on basic math skills and get a “head start” on preparedness for Basic Math (MATH 095) and Elementary Algebra (MATH 099). Students will be more confident navigating the campus and understanding the learning resources we offer.
