Developmental Studies

Vision Statement: To provide all learners basic academic skills that serve as a foundation for achieving educational, career, and personal goals.
The overall goal for developmental studies courses at ACC is to offer a wide range of learning-centered activities that:

  • Develop in each learner the skills and attitudes necessary for the attainment of academic, career and life goals
  • Ensure proper placement by assessing each learner's level of preparedness for college coursework
  • Maintain academic standards by enabling learners to acquire competencies needed for success in mainstream college courses
  • Increase student retention
