About Us

 

 

In Students' Words

"I got to have less stress over the fall semester and more time to complete my homework and excel in other classes."

"This course allowed me to learn how to write a good college essay. I was able to make friends and know my way around school before fall started."

"I felt that the time I had with the professor over the summer was extremely helpful."


What is Early Start?
Early Start (ES) courses give new students a head start on their classes and an opportunity to meet faculty, staff, and other students before the fall semester starts.

What Early Start courses are offered?
