Launchpad

Boost Your STEM Success at Palomar College! Need a refresher on key concepts?

At Palomar College, we’re all about helping you thrive in your STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) courses. Many students, thanks to AB705 and AB1705, find themselves placed directly into college-level math and STEM courses. Many students haven’t reviewed algebra, arithmetic, proportions, percentages, or unit conversions in a while. Launchpad bridges that gap and increases your chances of success in your STEM courses. A quick review of the math concepts can make all the difference for your success in these courses.
