Bridge Program
The Bridge Program is a student support program that offers a variety of learning
communities designed to promote academic achievement and personal development. Students
participate in grouped or linked courses that provide coordinated instruction and
enhanced support.
Learning community options include Summer Bridge and Math Bridge and English Bridge offered in the Fall and Spring semesters. Each learning community focuses on a specific
academic need and has an assigned counselor to assist students.
The Summer Bridge Program is especially beneficial for students who are the first in their family to attend college, are seeking to strengthen academic and social skills, want to explore career and transfer pathways, or desire additional support during their first year of college. Math Bridge and English Bridge are open to all Mt. SAC students in the fall and spring semesters. Summer Bridge is designed for recent high school graduates.
Bridge students also form lasting friendships. They tend to share educational goals, interests, and similar backgrounds. We work with students to promote their graduation and transfer success to universities. You might just find our program to be the "bridge" you need to cross over your obstacles to success!
