Depending on your major field of study, some of you may take entrance exams, professional licensure exams, and/or major field achievement tests. You will be given the Academic Profile twice; once during your first quarter and again prior to graduation. The Academic Profile is a test of general academic knowledge and skills. colleges and universities use the results to measure the outcomes of their general education programs and to improve the quality of instruction and learning. The test focuses on the academic skills developed through general education courses rather than subject-specific knowledge. It does this by testing college-level reading, college-level writing, critical thinking, and mathematics in the context of humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
