CUNY START is a low-cost skills immersion program for students who need to meet the minimum requirements to take college-level coursework. CUNY START students receive academic advisement, tutoring and two opportunities to meet CUNY proficiency standards.

CUNY START currently offers MATH START, a shorter accelerated math course for students needing significant preparation in mathematics. MATH START is currently accepting applications from GED® and HSE recipients who are interested in attending college. Both programs are low-cost alternatives to remedial college classes.

Hostos Community College’s Liberty Partnerships Program is a high school accredited, year-round academic and cultural enrichment program enhanced by career and support services.

The program is funded by the NY State Education Department and serves over 300 students yearly from local high schools in the South Bronx. Students are comprised of all ethnic groups, primarily Latinos and African Americans. Special attention is given to students who are at-risk of graduating late or dropping out, including those with limited English proficiency.

The program partners with CUNY, SUNY and several private universities along with community based organizations, cultural institutions and local businesses to form an innovative collaborative, united in challenging students to excel both academically and socially. We integrate support services and career awareness with academic disciplines, while fostering the arts with our non-academic activities. Tutoring, exam prep and college/career exploration is also available.
