EDUCATION and OPPORTUNITIES
CARLETON UNIVERSITY BRIDGING COURSES
Do you know someone who has been out of school for awhile and is considering university? The Bridging Program at Carleton University may be for them. The Bridging Program helps people who have been away from school for some time to attend university. Participants take a non-credit academic course at reduced cost ($165), and get help building their skills and confidence. Mature applicants who earn a B in the course qualify for admission to a B.A. program at Carleton.
We will be offering one course in the fall (September 20-December 6, 2011). Registration is now open.
People of all ages take a Bridging course for many different reasons:
to qualify for admission to a B.A. degree
to warm up to starting university even if they already have the requirements
to see if they would even LIKE university before committing to applying and paying tuition
to improve their writing skills for personal or work reasons
