The Bridge Programs are intensive classes in mathematics (for students who need to demonstrate proficiency) and chemistry (for students without high school chem) which provide an opportunity for students to receive tuition-free instruction during the summer and/or winter intersession. Students are placed into the Bridge Programs based on their proficiency index score.

For registration in the 2025 Summer Bridge Programs, please visit the Bridge Programs FAQs page.

Fast Track Math

This program will allow students with math proficiency scores of 40-59 interested in STEM or algebra-intensive majors (Business, Accounting, Economics, Psychology, and Education) to advance to algebra and trigonometry without additional support hours (MTH 121, 122, 123). Cost: free.

 

Math Bridge

Students with a math proficiency score of 60 or above are considered proficient; however, they may still be required to take math classes with additional support if they pursue STEM-bound or Business, Accounting, Economics, Psychology, and Education majors. Students who do not meet the level of proficiency (math index value under 75 for MTH 122 or under 80 for MTH 121/123) are placed in MTH 125, a class with two additional non-credit hours. These students can benefit from the 48-hour workshop Math Bridge that will advance them to algebra without support (MTH 121, 122, 123). Cost: free.

 

Math Camp

This program is a 15-hour workshop for students enrolled in algebra without support (MTH 121, 122, 123). Cost: free.

 

Chemistry Bridge 

This program is a workshop for students without high school chemistry who plan to pursue majors in disciplines requiring a one-year college chemistry sequence (Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Engineering Science, Medical Laboratory Science, and Physics). Cost: free.
