"Boost Your College Career," created with grant funds from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, will accept about thirty students into the program at no cost. The six-week program will be held during BCC's third summer session from July 12 to August 19.
Free transportation will be provided. Berkshire County high school seniors are encouraged to contact their guidance counselors to see if they are eligible and learn how to register for the program.
Based on assessment tests and high school grades, accepted students will be assigned to either a non-credit College Reading Strategies course or to the co-requisite English Composition I and College Writing Practices courses. Students who place into the latter group and successfully complete the courses will receive college credit.
