Leveling Courses FAQs
The purpose of the academic leveling course is to help develop your foundational business knowledge so that you will be more successful with your degree program.
The Academic Leveling Course modules are self-contained. No other resources or materials are necessary to complete the Academic Leveling Course Modules. You do not need to prepare for the pre-tests because they are meant to show you your baseline knowledge level and to help you focus your subsequent learning for weaker areas. Your completion of the individual learning module will prepare you for the post-test.
Please follow the instructions in your admissions letter.
