The mission of developmental education under the University College at Texas A&M International University is to support students whose assessment scores indicate a need for additional academic assistance. By enhancing their skills and ensuring they meet the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) standards, we aim to foster their growth and scholarly development. Our program prepares students for college-level coursework through a comprehensive developmental education plan.
The goals of our courses include:
- Complying with the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements.
- Preparing students for the demands of the college core curriculum.
- Increasing the persistence rates of under-prepared students.
- Teaching effective learning and study strategies.
- Providing support through the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE).
