Center for Academic Support and Tutoring (CAST)

The Center for Academic Support and Tutoring (CAST), located on the fourth floor of the Nugent Building, offers individual and group tutoring in all disciplines to help students achieve greater academic success. The CAST staff is composed of professional tutors with advanced degrees and peer tutors who have excelled in their subjects. The Center offers test preparation for graduate entrance examinations as well as academic workshops in various subjects.

Popular subjects include: Writing, Math, Economics, French, Philosophy. Sign Language, Spanish, and Statistics.

The Step-Up Program supports students who demonstrate academic potential, but who may have inconsistent academic success or difficulty with standardized tests. The program fee, a cost above tuition, includes tutoring services, personalized advising/counseling, support technology, workshops, and monthly parent/guardian meetings throughout the academic year. Students enrolled in Step-Up are required to complete a minimum of two semesters in the program, after which their progress is evaluated to determine if the program is necessary for additional semesters.
