ACT math camps to be offered this summer

Professors in Marshall University’s Department of Mathematics will offer two ACT math preparation courses June 6-10 and July 11-15 for high school students in grades 9-12.

Each session is $160, with different math readiness levels available, according to Dr. Suzanne Strait, a biological sciences professor in the university’s College of Science.

“ACT scores are important for several reasons: test scores are critical to a student’s access to colleges and programs, many scholarships are based on ACT scores and some employers require ACT scores even after you have graduated from college,” Strait said.

The ACT camps are sponsored by the West Virginia Science Adventures program, which offers a variety of homeschool and weekend activities throughout the year, according to Strait.

Participants of the camp can expect to attend from 1 to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday for the week.
