Pre-College Summer Programs

Montclair State University is fully committed to ensuring that all of its student entrants begin their academic career fully prepared for college level reading and mathematics courses. All entering students who are not exempt from basic skills reading and mathematics (based on SAT scores or high school grades) must complete the Montclair State University Placement Test (MSUPT).

The Pre-College Summer Program (PCSP) was established to provide those students who are identified as needing developmental instruction as per their MSUPT results, with a comprehensive and affordable learning experience, via an intensive 6 week summer program.

The Pre-College Summer Program (PCSP) offers a 6-week READ 099 and/or a 5-week MATH 071 course, to serve all of our student's basic skills needs. Students enrolled in this program receive hands-on attention from faculty and highly trained tutors in both college level reading and mathematics. The PCSP prepares our students for a positive and successful college experience in the fall.
