Basic Studies

UMF applicants who didn’t take a full complement of college-prep courses in high school, whose transcripts indicate weaknesses in certain skills, or who have been out of school for a number of years may benefit from UMF’s Liberal Studies Bridge Program. Acceptance into the Bridge Program is contingent upon an interview and testing with our staff. As a student in the Bridge Program, you’ll combine UMF for-credit courses with non-credit developmental courses before transferring into your chosen major. Resources available to Bridge students include developmental courses, peer mentoring, academic advising, personal counseling, and tutoring.
