This year’s Summer Bridge Program focuses on helping new undergraduate students whose math placement scores are below what they need for a math course required by their specific majors. Students can potentially save considerable amounts of time and money through progress on the ALEKS program.
Any new students can work independently on ALEKS over the summer to improve their placement score, but enrollment in SBP provides students with additional resources through our SBP Team:

There is no additional cost to students. Even the optional one-credit UGSS 183: Strategies for Learning Mathematics course (August 11 through 22) is free, as long as students do not go over their flat tuition plan for the fall semester. The program is partially funded by a Title III Grant from the US Department of Education.
. We accept applications up until August 1. Contact Stephan Schaffrath with any questions: sschaffr@iup.edu.
