Science Learning Center

The Science Learning Center is here to help all students succeed in science courses and laboratories.

In this section

Our goal is for all science students to have the same opportunity for success in science courses. We are here to help you:

  • Study for your science courses individually or with a study group. Drop in any time!
  • Practice essential mathematical, graphing and laboratory skills in our modules before you need them in class.
  • Practice using laboratory instruments at your own pace before you use them in the lab.
