Your future begins now
Students who are successful in their first math course are three-times more likely to complete their degree. This is especially true for students in STEM and Economics The best way to ensure your success and to keep your career options open is to work in ALEKS PPL to refresh the math topics you have forgotten. It only takes a few hours and you will be on your way.
To learn more about STEM at UNA: https://www.una.edu/stemscholars/
Students across the country use ALEKS PPL to assess their current math skills, and to refresh in preparing for college level math. The average student who has been out of a math course for just 3 months loses 2 ½ months of math knowledge. For this reason, we are offering you the opportunity to refresh and prepare for your journey to graduation. After only a few hours, you are more likely to feel confident and be successful in your class, ultimately saving you time and money.
