The Math and Science Skills Center (MSSC) is staffed by faculty-supervised peer tutors who assist students in 100- and 200-level science, math, economics and philosophy courses with homework, lab reports and conceptual questions.
At the MSSC, students can undertake individual study while tutors are available to answer questions or help with assignments; study and complete assignments with a group of classmates; and discuss classes, majors, research and potential careers with upperclass students.
The MSSC has over 6,000 visits by about 20 percent of the student body each academic year, and is an invaluable resource to students of diverse majors from many academic divisions.
Hours of Operation
The MSSC is open from 7 to 10 p.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from the second full week of each semester through the Thursday before final exams begin, excluding Sundays during October Break, Thanksgiving Break and Spring Break.
Peer Tutors
MSSC peer tutors are highly accomplished math and science students with a passion for helping others succeed. The center employs general tutors and also lead tutors who support students in a specific course.
