The Summer Developmental Program

(SDP) is an eight week summer enrichment

program designed to enhance the academic skills

of students who do not meet all criteria for

admission. Qualified students will take course

work in one or more of the following deficient

subject areas (as determined by MSU Admis-

sions) plus a required learning skills laboratory: Deficient Coursework Offered:

Developmental English

Developmental Mathematics

Developmental Reading

Required Course:

Learning Skills Lab

Classroom instruction, seminars, career-

counseling/mentoring and computer-assisted

tutorials are included in the program. Addition-

ally, the student will receive counseling and

support necessary to matriculate successfully in

the academic and social community of the

University. These courses do not count toward

graduation, but do qualify for institutional credit.

Upon successful completion of the program,

with a grade of “C” or higher in relevant course

work including the learning skills lab, the stu-

dent will be able to enroll as a freshman during

the fall semester. Any student who does not

meet the exit requirements of the program will

be advised of other educational alternatives and

will be assisted in pursuing those options.

Who can attend? Students who are referred by their high

school counselors, MSU or other university

admissions counselors (usually based upon

ACCUPLACER scores) OR students who desire

an enhancement program may attend.
