Marshall’s Online Summer Math Program to Boost Skills, Confidence, and Placement

MATH STAMPEDE (Mastery, Achievement, and Tutoring for the Herd. Students Thundering Ahead in Math Preparation, Empowerment, and Development to Excellence) helps incoming Marshall students prepare for success by building math skills, improving placement, and boosting confidence before classes begin. The program uses ALEKS, an adaptive online system that assesses what you already know and identifies the areas where you need additional preparation. This placement process is designed to ensure that you start in the math course that is the best fit for your current skills—challenging enough to move you forward, but not so difficult that you are set up to struggle.

Beyond placement, ALEKS provides a personalized preparation and learning experience that helps you strengthen your skills over the summer. It focuses only on the topics you need, so your time is used efficiently, and it revisits concepts if you begin to forget them. With consistent effort, many students are able to improve their placement and move into a higher-level course with confidence, knowing they have the background needed to succeed.

We are currently updating MATH STAMPEDE for Summer 2026. Check back soon—the full website will be available again by the end of the spring semester.

Reach out anytime.  We’re here to help!
