Academic Skills Enhancement

Academic Skills Enhancement (ASE) is a comprehensive program of assessment, advising, curriculum, and support services designed to help students who need additional academic preparation prior to taking course work in their major field.
The following is a list of ASE courses offered. Students may be required to take some of these courses based upon the results of their placement tests and the specific requirements of the ASE program and/or their academic major.
Any UT academic adviser will be able to tell students which courses, if any, will be required. Nine hundred level courses will not count toward graduation.
