Basic Skills Improvement
PCC Multidisciplinary Success Center

We specializes in helping students who need to develop their foundational skills in mathematics, reading, writing and grammar. The faculty and staff can help you progress from your current skill level to the college-entry level in any of the above areas. Students need these basic skills in order to succeed in college.

Research in education has shown that students who participate in basic skills development are more successful in their college level classes. LBCC's college research department has found that students who enroll in BAE 601 are more successful in their later English 105, Math 110, and Reading 883 courses than students who do not attend.

If your skills in reading, writing, or math fall below the 12th grade level, you probably need some extra time and practice to develop your abilities in these areas in order to succeed in college

The Multidisciplinary Success Center can help you:

  • Brush up on some of the skills you learned in school but may have forgotten
  • Review how to do fractions, decimals or other basic math skills
  • Review how to use commas, punctuation or grammar
  • Get back in the habit of reading for educational purposes
  • Work on any of these fundamental skills to be more successful in class
Our staff is here to help:

  • We have a full staff of highly qualified instructors who are sensitive to the needs of students, as well as instructional aides and tutors to help you along the way.
  • We have a great variety of materials and instruction to help you, including computer based learning systems, printed materials, small group workshops and one-on-one instruction.
  • We tailor learning to students' personal preferences and learning style as much as possible.
Our program is designed to meet your needs:

  • All of this is non-credit and FREE
  • Because the course is not graded, prepare for college without the stress of worrying about a grade
  • Flexible schedule options give you time and opportunity to explore the many other resources available to students of LBCC
  • You can easily schedule an appointment with academic counseling, check into financial aid, or find the perfect job in the career center because our course offers you the flexibility to arrange study around your busy schedule.
  • As a student in BAE 601, you can get acclimated to the college environment while you prepare for the more challenging work ahead.
