Early Start Summer Bridge Program
The
Early
Start Summer Bridge Program is an initiative designed to help the first
year college student develop or improve the skills that are
necessary for a smooth transition from high school to college. The program is conducted over a six week period and
engages the students in enrichment classes to improve skills
in Writing, Math, Speaking, Reading and Critical Thinking. The Program accepts “special-admit” students and
absorbs the cost for participants’ room and board. “Special-admit” students are those student who do
not meet all of the University’s formal academic
requirements for admission, but whom the University believes
can be successful academically with support and monitoring.
At the end of the Summer Bridge Program students are registered for classes for the ensuing Fall Quarter. The Support Services office will closely monitor the progress of students and support them in their efforts to achieve a successful completion of their first year of matriculation at Central State University.
