Quantitative Studies Center
The Quantitative Studies Center assists all students with services that focus on topics related to mathematics, economics, and the sciences.
Writing Center
The Writing Center supports the entire college community. Peer consultants work one-on-one with student writers at every stage of the writing process—from initial brainstorming to writing drafts, and from organizing ideas to final editing. Writing Center consultants support writers by responding to writing in process, not by proofreading, editing, or writing students' papers. The goal is to help students from all academic departments, class standings, and writing abilities become better writers.
Mission
The Academic Skills Center helps students who use our services improve their learning process. (Improvement of learning process might include one or more of the following actions: gain awareness of learning strategies and learning skill sets, assess learning style preferences and strengths, assess attitudes toward learning and studying, assess time management and/or other factors inhibiting learning, etc.).
