MAP develops and implements a formal plan for identifying students who are historically at risk for completing higher education and developing a comprehensive plan that outlines support services and provides follow-up with students. This service enhances structure and accountability while providing general moral support. Students can learn more about this program by scheduling an appointment with the secretary in the Access and Diversity Department. The secretary may be reached during regular business hours in the Access and Diversity Department (Warf 239), by calling 931.540.2854 or emailing accessanddiversity@ColumbiaState.edu.

Columbia State’s goal for the four-day academy is to be a spring board for students to work on mastering their math skills, prepare and build a stronger foundation for high school math, and investigate job opportunities and college majors related to math academy subject areas. The academy is fun, fundamental and includes ideas for the future.
