Program for Academic Success
The Program for Academic Success is designed with one goal in mind - to ensure that each student enrolled in the College of Business earns an undergraduate degree from the College of Business. We recognize that some students will change their majors during their academic journey and will decide to transfer out of the College to pursue their true passion. The Program for Academic Success centers on students who are committed to earning an Illinois business degree and are in need of assistance along the way to ensure that this goal is achieved. In addition to an assortment of academic advising initiatives, The Program for Academic Success consists of two components: 1) The Business Tutorial Center; and 2) The Business Leaders Seminar (Business 199).
The Business Tutorial Center
The Business Tutorial Center offers free assistance to undergraduate business students enrolled in Math 125, Math 220, Math 221, Math 234, Econ 102 and Econ 103.
