Academic Services

At Bay Atlantic University, your success and understanding of the coursework is our top priority.  At times, certain coursework may become challenging for you, or other students, especially for those students whose native language is not English. This is why BAU designed the classrooms to be dynamic and student-centered, with thorough preparation and active participation expected in every class session.

To ensure students’ academic success, Bay Atlantic University provides the following academic services:

English / Writing Tutorials

BAU aims to provide undergraduate and graduate students with the support to help them improve their academic writing skills. In order to provide this service, BAU works with Mentora College, an English Language School accredited by CEA. Teachers at Mentora are qualified in this field to provide support on rhetoric and style, remedial grammatical instruction, and general writing techniques.

Students apply to the School Counselor for these academic services. The Counselor arranges appointments with the teachers. In addition to this, School Counselor posts the available walk-in office hours of the language teachers to provide this service.

*For more information or to schedule an appointment for writing tutorials contact Amgaa Tserenchimed, at amgaat@bau.edu

Academic Workshops

The Director of Student Services and the School Counselor organize academic workshops on a bi-weekly basis. Routine workshops include topics such as note-taking skills, study skills, motivation, proper citation and plagiarism, and research methodologies. An additional set of specialized workshops are offered each semester. These workshops are scheduled at the start of the semester and the calendar is made available on the University website, via email announcement, and in the University Library.

Peer Tutoring

Peer Tutoring is designed to help students achieve greater success at BAU through building strong peer relationships. Each tutor is paired with one or more student partners. Student partners may need help in a specific course or with specific skills. Peer tutors are expected to teach and tutor, motivate and encourage their student partners.

The Peer Tutoring Program is beneficial for both tutors and student partners. Student partners gain important academic skills, find campus resources, and learn to navigate higher education. Tutors, on the other hand, strengthen their academic skills, gain strong leadership and teaching skills, enhance their communication skills, and most importantly, make a difference on their campus.

BAU Library

The BAU Library consists of a small physical library and a large online collection. Keeping in mind that the Washington, D.C. metro area is an information-rich and library-rich environment, BAU maintains its physical collection to assist students in “discovering” material that faculty members themselves use in their areas of expertise. This concept allows students to build on their understandings from classroom instruction and required readings and creates a richer and more relaxing environment for discovery and learning.

Located on the 2nd floor of the campus, the BAU Library provides a comfortable space where students can find and discover supplemental material related to their courses. Periodicals include the Economist, Foreign Policy, Bloomberg’s Business Week, Consumer Report, Discover, Entrepreneur, Fortune, Foreign Affairs, Language, Money, National Geographic, New Yorker, Popular Science, Reader’s Digest, Saturday Evening Post, Time, Washingtonia, Wired, MIT’s Technology Review, INC, and Fast Company, plus some newspapers.

BAU’s primary library research resources are provided electronically through access to Bahcesehir University’s Barbaros Library. The electronic library contains over 113 major databases, licensed from Proquest, EBSCO, ACM, and IEEE. It provides access to over 35,820 full text journals, reports and newspapers. Additionally, the library currently owns 46,374 electronic books, licenses publishers’ e-Book databases and subscribes to an additional 350,000 e-books. This design provides Library resources far greater than those of many institutions much larger than Bay Atlantic University.
