Heritage University offers several programs through which students interested in graduate studies can prepare for the GRE and learn universal strategies that will help them prepare for other mandatory entrance exams, e.g. GMAT, LSAT, etc. Two programs that currently include standardized test preparation are the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) and the Ronald E. McNair Scholars. By examining each area of the GRE, participants in this program will know what to expect on the exam and be able to set goals for improving their performance levels. Early sessions will focus on diagnosing individual strengths and weaknesses and developing goals for improving performance levels. The class will teach students problem-solving techniques and strategies for tackling the toughest questions. It includes an overview of math concepts, including quantitative comparisons, data interpretation, geometry, algebra, and arithmetic. It also prepares students for the verbal section of the exam by covering topics such as reading comprehension, analogies, sentence completions, and vocabulary. Students may receive independent study credit by enrolling in the class or may take the class as part of the MMUF or McNair Scholars Program for non-credit. There is no charge for the non-credit option. The credit option requires tuition payment.
The program is offered each fall. Please contact the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for the schedule and/or more information.
