The Developmental Studies Program at Northeast Alabama Community College provides students with the academic foundation to be successful in college-level English and math courses. Incoming students are placed in developmental courses based on their ACT scores, high school GPA, and/or ACCUPLACER scores. The co-requisite developmental model allows students to enroll directly in college-level courses and receive academic support through a learning support course. Learning support courses are co-requisite environments that provide instruction, one-on-one support, and small group engagement as well as active learning opportunities that are designed to review skills that mirror in real-time what is currently being taught in the college-level course. The Developmental Studies Program promotes scholastic opportunity, academic skill development, and educational efficiency.
