As the name suggests, a Bridge Course, is a course that helps a student prepare to take on the challenges of college education. A college education, with its focus on select subjects can be a difficult if the students are from diverse academic background. A bridge course is designed to help students get a quick but effective exposure to a realm of knowledge; it is in effect a crash course serving to needs of the student with some foundational information that introduces the student to the program they take. Many departments in college have a bridge course which serves to introduce basic concepts and requirements of a subject’s study to a student. These courses are conducted right at the commencement of the academic year to prepare the student for the rigors required of the longer program. The Department of English, for instance, often conducts a spoken English bridge course for students from non-English medium background to help them cope with the language in which instruction will take place. it will also help these students communicate with fellow students and fit into college life.
