The purpose of the skills inventory is to promote student success by placing students in classes appropriate to their skill level.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the skills inventory, students will be placed either in college-level courses or collegiate bridge classes. All collegiate bridge coursework must be completed within the first 24 credit hours of enrollment. Students taking collegiate bridge classes receive credit upon successful completion of the courses. Students who place out of collegiate bridge classes take the college-level courses.<\/p>\n<p>Bridge level courses include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >MATH 030<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >MATH 060<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 030<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 060<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Areas of Emphasis<br \/>\n<\/strong>The area of emphasis serves as the basis for a major or minor in a Bachelor's Degree Program.
