If you are receiving sponsorship or other forms of funding, be sure to consider any course load requirements tied to your support.

All Developmental Studies courses are offered online for your convenience. However, some courses from other departments that are part of our curriculum may require in-person attendance. Additionally, we offer one in-person Saturday class for both the Fall and Winter terms. This blended format ensures flexibility while also providing opportunities for hands-on learning.
