Accelerated Learning Program
Proven Results, Accelerated Success
Move beyond traditional remediation. Our ALP model places students directly into credit-bearing courses with built-in support, significantly increasing pass rates and reducing the time to graduation.
Learning at the Speed of Connection
We believe in the power of the "cohort." By pairing small class sizes with intensive faculty engagement, we create a community where every student is seen, heard, and supported.
Join the Movement in June
The National Conference on Acceleration in Developmental Education (CADE) is where innovation meets practice. Join us for 2026 to share strategies, data, and the future of accelerated learning.
Core Benefits of the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP)
- Maximizes Persistence: Eliminates academic "exit points" that often lead to student attrition between developmental and credit-level courses.
- Reduces Social Stigma: Integrates students directly into college-level environments, fostering a sense of belonging rather than isolation.
- Strengthens Academic Integration: Enhances student "attachment" to the institution and their specific program of study.
- Leverages Cohort Dynamics: Creates a supportive peer network that encourages collaborative learning and accountability.
- Shifts Student Mindset: Reconstructs the perception of developmental education from a "barrier" to a "supportive bridge."
- Personalizes Support: Facilitates more one-on-one time with instructors to address specific learning gaps.
- Addresses Holistic Needs: Dedicates time to non-cognitive factors, such as time management and "soft skills," that impact academic success.
- Accelerates Path to Completion: Enables students with developmental placements to earn college credit in Composition immediately.
