AUM Bridge Program
Even if you do not fully meet all the requirements for admission to Auburn Montgomery, you still may find a home here through the Bridge Program. This program is designed for students who meet specific academic criteria yet still need some academic preparation prior to full admission.
What is the AUM Bridge Program?
Our Bridge program provides qualified students with extra academic support for one semester prior to gaining full admission to AUM. During the Bridge semester, students will be enrolled in courses designed specifically for "bridging the gap" to a continued and successful college career. Bridge courses consist of a University Success course, as well as a Math and/or English course. Throughout the semester, faculty and staff on our Bridge team will assist students by implementing skill-building exercises for success in college. The Bridge program is designed to help familiarize students with our campus resources, while showing students how to thrive at AUM.
