Alcorn State University
Summer Developmental Program
The Summer Developmental Program (SDP) is a nine-week summer enrichment program designed to enhance the academic skills of students who do not meet all criteria for admission into Mississippi’s eight public universities. Qualified students will take course work in English, mathematics and reading.
This program will include classroom instruction, seminar, career counseling/mentoring, as well as, computer-assisted tutorials. Additionally, students will receive counseling and support needed to matriculate successfully in the academic and social community of the university. These courses will not count toward graduation. However, with successful completion of the Summer Developmental Program, the student will be able to enroll as a freshman during the fall semester. Students who do not meet the exit requirements for the Summer Developmental Program will be advised of other educational alternatives and will be assisted in pursuing those options.
