Summer Bridge

The Goodwin College Office of Continuing Education and Community Relations is offering an annual high school-to-college transition program titled “Summer Bridge.” The program began in July 2008.  Applications are currently being accepted for summer 2009. 

By design, this program seeks to bridge the gap between high school and college. The mission of the program is to prepare recent high school graduates and/or recent Adult Education graduates with the intellectual stimulation, social responsibilities and leadership development they need to succeed in college. 

Approximately 90 students were recruited to enroll in this program during its first year. This tuition-free program provides the opportunity for enrolled students to earn up to seven credits toward an Associate in Science degree at Goodwin College. The coursework revolves around the following classes:

• SCI 102 - Environmental Science (3 credits)
• SOC 110 – Contemporary Social Problems (3 credits)
• MUSIC 101 - Contemporary Music (3 credits)
• CAP 100 – Computer Literacy (3 credits)
• SPAN 101 – Spanish 1 (3 credits)
• ASD 100 – Study Skills for College Success (1 credit)
