The Developmental Studies department provides students with expanded opportunities for college success, increases retention in Developmental Education and subsequent courses, provides a faculty cohort for competent developmental instruction, and develops self actualized learners.

Developmental Studies also includes Academic Related (ACA) instruction.  In an ACA class, students can learn about our campus, about college success skills, and about how to develop plans for achieving individual goals.

Distance Learning

Distance Learning enhances technology and learning through the use of instructional technology and increases Distance Learning courses and programmatic offerings. 

With our new educational online offerings, students can take courses on campus, online, or through a combination of both. At A-B Tech you can experience the freedom of educational convenience!

ETS staff are here to instruct faculty and staff in the use of new technology, in the production of audio and video works, and in the maintenance of the technology used in the classroom.
