About Developmental Education

When most people outside the profession hear the words "developmental education," they think of refresher courses in English, math, and reading for underprepared college students. However, developmental coursework is only one academic enhancement practice that falls under the umbrella term "developmental education."

Use the links below to learn more about the rich history of developmental education, dating back several centuries. You'll learn why developmental education has been termed a "social and economic imperative" in a democracy. You'll also learn about the wide range of learning-centered activities that together make up developmental education.
