Academic Enrichment
TRIO-SSS University Study Techniques Course
University Study Techniques (UST) 3 semester hours
Students literally "get their heads into learning" in this course - developing scholarly habits as critical thinkers and active, independent learners.
AE 1112 – UST helps students increase general and academic vocabularies, improve textbook comprehension and critical thinking, and develop university-level study habits. UST is an elective credit, meets Planned Placement requirement, and substitutes for AE 1820. And it’s FREE!
Note: Students also must
- enroll in a prescribed General Education course (NOT a TRIO course; you pay for it).
- attend a UST Lab which provides guided application of UST study strategies in the General Education course (the Lab is FREE).
