Developmental Courses

If your high school transcript or your scores on UMF placement tests indicate the need to strengthen your skills in math, writing, reading or science, the Liberal Studies Bridge Program offers non-credit developmental courses in these critical areas.  Developmental courses will give you the background needed to succeed in your required UMF courses.  The small class size ensures that you will have quality, individualized instruction.

Although developmental courses are non-credit, they do count towards your full-time status including participation in varsity sports. 

Description of each of these courses.

UMF Online
Tutoring and Peer Mentoring

In addition to developmental courses, you have access to tutoring at no cost in nearly any UMF course. Also, you will be assigned a Student Assistant with whom you will meet once a week. Your Student Assistant is yet another valuable resource that can provide you with assistance as you begin your college experience.
