Some are undergraduate students who have excelled in their respective subject areas. • Research studies have found the Strategic Tutoring Program to be an effective program for under-prepared student-athletes and highly skilled students alike. • Student-athletes report a high level of satisfaction with the STP. • Both programs offer individualized tutoring as well as small study groups.
