Math Summer Bridge

BUILDING MATH SKILLS AND COMMUNITY FOR INCOMING STUDENTS

The CiPASS Summer Math Bridge Program provides an opportunity for CCNY incoming first-year students majoring in STEM fields to:

Place out of developmental math courses (Advanced Algebra and PreCalculus) and save their financial aid dollars
Get into Calculus-level math earlier
Enter their major-specific courses sooner
Get to know the CCNY services, facilities, supports, and other insights

Summer Bridge provides an opportunity to refresh and improve core mathematical competencies by allowing students to work through an accelerated six-week program with our experienced team of instructors and staff. The program generally runs from July through early August.

In 2026, the program will run from July1^st through July 31

Monday – Thursday
9:00 am – 12:00 pm.

While this is not a credit bearing program, if the student passes the exemption exam at the end of the program, they qualify to move to the next-level math course. For example, if the student passes the Advanced Algebra Exam, they can begin their education at CCNY in Pre-Calculus. Students that pass the PreCalculus Exam can begin their education at CCNY in Calculus (and potentially move into the Grove School if they are intending to major in engineering).

Students are invited to apply for the program after they have taken the CCNY Math Placement Exam and may only take the course they have placed into via that test (regardless of high school coursework taken). Students will be screened for acceptance based on how they scored in individual sections of the math placement exam to ensure they have enough of a mathematical foundation to be successful in this accelerated summer program. The application generally opens in early May.
