Giving you the skills to move forward
Everyone can benefit from a higher education, but we understand that not everyone is equally prepared for the college search or college-level coursework. Waubonsee can provide college search resources and help you strengthen certain foundational skills before you move on, so you have the best chance of success.
Learn to search
There's a lot to learn once you're in college, but there's also a lot to learn about college — how to find the right one for you, how to afford it, etc. Explore our college and career readiness resources for a more successful college search.
Learn to use your time wisely
Not only can you get started on your college search, but you can get started on college credit with our dual credit offerings. Learn about all of our programs for high school students.
Learn at your level
All full-time degree-seeking students, as well as other English and math students, must receive proper course placement. You may place into courses that are less than 100-level, sometimes called developmental courses. Since these courses build your skill levels in core subjects, it is recommended that you take them in your first semester at Waubonsee.
Learn how to learn
Being in the right classes is only the start. Waubonsee also offers personal development courses that teach study strategies and other skills that will help you in the classroom—and in life. Plus, you're never alone: You can access tutoring and academic coaching at our Tutoring Centers.
