Math Bridge is a one-year-long program beginning each fall semester whose purpose is to assist students in the successful completion of Preparation for Statistics (Math 45) and Probability and Statistics (Math 80). The program focuses on African American, Latino/a, Filipino/a and Native American students, however all students are welcome to apply.

Math Bridge is not a remedial program. The goal of the program is to provide assistance in the completion of transfer-level mathematics at City College in order to increase the number of underrepresented students who transfer to baccalaureate colleges and universities.

The assistance in Math Bridge consists of tutoring, a dedicated instructor, and a community of learners that support each other while taking the mathematics courses.

Interested students must attend an orientation and submit an application during the spring semester in order to enter the program in the following fall semester. Contact the Math Bridge coordinator at mathbridge@ccsf.edu for more information regarding admission to the program.

First semester (Fall only):

• Math 45: Preparation for Statistics (5 units)

Second semester (Spring only):

• Math 80 Probability and Statistics (4 units)

The Math Bridge sections of Math 45 and of Math 80 follow the same course outline as other sections of these courses.

• Community. One special aspect of this program is that the students stay together for two semesters.  Students get to know their classmates very well. Students help each other intellectually and emotionally. They create study groups and are encouraged to get together outside of class hours.
  
• Class Participation. Students are expected to actively engage in the learning process, both in and outside of class. This involves asking questions and working with classmates.
  
• Dedicated tutors. Math Bridge has tutors who work with the students in the program. The tutors are available for drop-in tutoring, for working with study groups or for individual tutoring.
