The primary academic focus of the CARE Summer Bridge Program centers on developing the skills necessary to perform college level work. Every student in the program must have placed into developmental courses as a result of their ACCUPLACER. The “bridge” has been created to bring students across from where they are academically and into college level coursework. It also works to combine academic coursework with an introduction to the RCTC campus community. Students have the opportunity to meet with advisors, counselors, program coordinators, make new friends, and get oriented to RCTC and its many resources while strengthening skills in math, reading and writing and earning college credit in a first-year experience course (FYEX 1000). Participants will be involved with a mandatory tutor and intrusive advising program. Participants are required to work hard, have fun, and when selected to participate, it's all free!!! This includes tuition, books, tutoring, academic advising, and some extracurricular activities.
