What is the ConocoPhillips Academic Success Bridge Program?

The ConocoPhillips Academic Success Bridge Program provides study skills training, academic preparation training, tutoring, mentoring, and other academic support services. After completing the ConocoPhillips Academic Success Bridge Program, we believe that you will have an academic foundation and the confidence to succeed in engineering.

The focus of the program is a concentrated math review course that will take place Monday, August 17 - Friday, August 21, 2026. Mentoring and academic support opportunities will continue through the fall semester with the support of peer mentors.

The program consists of a basic math concepts, the program is designed to support the transition from high school to college by giving students an immersive preview of what life as an engineering student is really like. Throughout the week, students will experience college-style lectures, homework, tutoring sessions, study skills and time management workshops, career services opportunities, and more.

The academic portion will focus on calculus preparation and will be taught by experienced college lecturers, while current junior and senior engineering students will serve as tutors and mentors throughout the program.

This week is intentionally designed to simulate a realistic "midterm week" experience, complete with quizzes, assignments, tutoring sessions, and competing priorities. In a supportive and low-risk environment, students will practice time management, decision-making, and study strategies while learning how to navigate challenges they may encounter in college all while building confidence, resilience, and a stronger understanding of what it takes to succeed as an engineering student.

The program will be accepting up to 100 students who are interested in a calculus review program. Decisions will be made throughout June until spots are filled. The cost of the program is $75.
