SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COURSES

Skills Development Courses are for anyone interested in improving or upgrading their skills for college-level work. Courses in basic reading, English, math and study skills are available in a variety of learning formats at five Centers for Independent Learning. In addition to serving the currently-enrolled student, the Skills Development Program attracts prospective students who have a desire to attend college, but have not been in a formal learning environment since high school. These students would benefit from a "brush-up" in any one of the above-mentioned areas. Also, DuPage residents who are anticipating a job change or job advancement might need work on writing skills, math or critical reading skills to enhance their abilities. Students directly out of high school with a strong desire to succeed in college often take study skills or other developmental courses to ensure a good introduction to college-level demands.
