How Bridge Works
The Bridge Program combines focused instruction, academic support, and clear pathways into college-level coursework.
Bridge Math
Students strengthen their math skills through targeted instruction and ALEKS, an adaptive learning platform that identifies what students already know and where they need additional support. This personalized approach helps students focus on the skills they need most while preparing for success in their next math course.
Bridge English
Students receive intensive developmental instruction and personalized advising to ensure they are prepared for and enrolled in their next college-level English course. Support is provided by faculty trained in Integrated Reading and Writing (INRW) and through the English Success Center.
Located within the English Department, the English Success Center offers:
- Drop-in tutoring
- Scheduled tutoring appointments

- Reading and writing support
- Academic success resources
Throughout the program, students benefit from ongoing guidance, encouragement, and support designed to help them reach the next step in their academic journey.
