Auburn University is offering a new program, Plainsmen’s Prep: A Bridge to Calculus, from Aug. 4 - 12, which is designed to give approximately 70 incoming freshmen an exclusive opportunity to review pre-calculus and calculus topics needed to be successful in their college courses. Sponsored by Auburn University’s Office of Academic Support and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Plainsmen’s Prep: A Bridge to Calculus is also designed to acclimate students to the rigors of the Auburn University environment. Students will interact with Auburn faculty, staff and undergraduate students to help aid in their transition and give them at head start to their success at Auburn.

“We know that some students are coming to Auburn and taking longer to complete their degrees because they have to take prerequisite courses before they can take the courses needed to fulfill their major,” said Dana Jablonski, director of the Office of Academic Support. “In addition, many students are coming with some knowledge but may be rusty in pre-calculus or calculus concepts due to a variety of reasons. The program was designed to assist any student who is feeling uneasy about succeeding in calculus at Auburn. The program gives them a chance to review pre-calculus and calculus topics needed to be successful in their courses.”
