In one semester, JumpStart students can earn college credits, strengthen their skills in Math, and stay on pace to complete their associate degree efficiently. All students participate in a weekly College Readiness Seminar that helps them explore their academic identity, connect career goals with educational pathways at Hostos, and prepare for academic success. Advisors provide guidance in time management, campus navigation, communication, self-advocacy, and academic planning to support students’ progress toward graduation. JumpStart students must apply for Financial Aid to cover their tuition fee for their 3-credit course.
