Academic Support Center (ASC)
|
Welcome to the newly-expanded Methodist College of Nursing Academic Support Center! The ASC aims to provide academic assistance to all incoming and existing nursing students. With the help of staff extensively trained in teaching in the areas of Mathematics, Biological and Physical Sciences, Reading, and English/Writing, students may take advantage of high-quality one-on-one help or participate in any of several support courses and/or workshops offered throughout each semester.
The ASC at MCON strives to leave no student behind and fully believes in the potential that so many students possess within themselves to succeed and excel in the nursing field. We make a commitment to work with students in all areas, providing personal and academic support. A myriad of courses, workshops, and around-the-clock one-on-one assistance is available to our students throughout the academic year, and this is just one of the many ways in which we walk with them down their road to success.
