| CAP Program | The Community for Academic Progress (CAP) Program is an exciting program designed to allow students to enroll in grouped or paired courses that share common themes, activities, and assignments. Since the courses are linked, students take these classes as a group, allowing faculty and students to work and learn together. Whether you are transitioning from high school or are a continuing college student, CAP has a learning community for you! While college may seem overwhelming, CAP addresses your needs in an environment of caring faculty, staff, and administrators. In addition to learning communities, CAP offers math courses that are only open to CAP students, which means everyone in a math CAP class is part of the CAP program. |

| Speech and Debate Team (Forensics) | The Speech and Debate Team is a competitive intercollegiate activity, much like a sport. Students perform speeches, dramatic material and debate at tournaments on other college campuses and receive academic credit for their participation. Participation in forensics is a marvelous opportunity to expand your present speech skills and develop new ones. A glance at any current business textbook will verify that communication skills are rated among the most important abilities that a company looks for in hiring an employee. Even technical personnel, like engineers, are expected to be excellent communicators as well as competent in their field. The inability to communicate effectively could stifle your future career and the opportunity for advancement. |
