How does Project DEgree work?

Project DEgree Initial Two Quarters

All students begin in a learning community of 20-25 students. In the first quarter students take Reading 90, Writing 90, Student Success and Survival (CG  100c)  and generally Math 20. These courses include learning projects that integrate the material of the classes. Each learning community is assigned a Resource Specialist who works intensively with each student.

Students progress as a learning community in the second quarter, taking Reading and Writing 115 together, Today's Careers (CG 130) to help them figure out their career goals, and a math class, generally Math 60.

Project DEgree in Subsequent Quarters
Students who complete the first two quarters will fully transition into college-level coursework and work toward the certificate or degree of their choice. Students are encouraged to continue to take a 12 credit load each term. They are supported by a Completion Specialist who works in collaboration with other advising staff and provides advising and connects students to college resources and supports as needed.
