Our Developmental Education program is
guided in meeting the special academic needs of its student constituency by a well defined
statement of purpose consistent with the overall mission of the college.
The instructional components of the
program are decentralized and function as an integral part of the college's academic
program. Writing and reading instruction is provided by the Humanities Division, mathematics
courses are taught by the Mathematics Division and study skills instruction is provided by
the Behavioral/Social Science Division. Developmental Counseling is integrated as a
part of the college's office of Student Affairs.
Statement of Purpose:
The Developmental Education program provides assistance
to students in developing those academic and social skills necessary for the successful
completion of college work. Courses and activities are designed for students who
lack minimum skills, as defined by the Tennessee Board of Regents, in reading
comprehension, writing communication, mathematical computation and study skills.
Services provided include academic assessment, academic placement and counseling-related
programs and activities. The division is decentralized and integrated throughout the
academic and student affairs units.
