Welcome to the home page for the Division of Developmental Studies.
The Developmental Studies Program assists students in acquiring the necessary skills to pass the Texas Higher Education Assesment (THEA) and successfully continue college level study. Furthermore, the Developmental Studies Faculty strives to create a sensitive environment that is conducive to learning by providing academic, personal, and professional support to the students, staff and faculty of South Texas College, as well as the community.
The Developmental Studies Program accomplishes this mission through developmental courses in Reading, English, Mathematics, and College Success. In addition to the offered coursework are tutoring and workshops, which include study skill seminars and computer-assisted instruction. A dedicated retention team is available through e-mail, phone or face to face to help with questions and to ease the transition out of developmental courses.
The Developmental Program responds dynamically to the multicultural Student body and community it serves and takes pride in providing equal educational opportunities.
