Prof.
Steve Amarnick working with an Opening Doors cohort.
In Opening Doors, cohorts of up to 25 students take a program
of three linked courses: English
(Developmental or Freshman English I, depending on CUNY ACT reading and
writing placement exam scores); Student Development (SD 10); and a General
Education course such as Art, Biology, or Psychology. Faculty and SD instructors
collaborate to link
courses through common student learning objectives, themes, and assignments.
Research on students in Opening Doors is being tracked and outcomes
are promising.
The Opening Doors Program began in the fall of 2003, guided by Rachel
Singer, Director of Academic Affairs, and supported by Freshman Services
and College Advisement, directed by Peter Cohen.
