offered a variety of opportunities for students to enhance
their personal, academic, and profes sional lives. The
Downtown Campus serves more than 10,000 students during
the fall and spring semesters. A balance of
developmental, transfer, and occupational course offerings
has created an enrollment that is both heavily involved in
university transfer (50%) and immersed in occupational
programming leading directly to work (30%).
In order to meet the different learning styles and scheduling
needs of its students, the Downtown Campus has
developed innovative instruction, including supervised,
individualized instruction using the latest technology. The
Writing Center offers self-paced learning. The Biology
learning Center, located in the Science and Technology
building, offers self-paced learning for many biology
courses taught at the College. In addition, the Center for
Integrated learning provides the latest technology for student
learning and assists faculty who wish to incorporate
computer learning into the classroom.
every occupational discipline at the Downtown Campus
works closely with local community advisory groups to
ensure the quality and relevancy of its curriculum. This
continuous assessment process, coupled with capable and
dedicated instructors, has created unique and exceptional
educational programming at the Downtown Campus.
