Our American-based curriculum requires a certain level of English and Math for academic purposes. To ensure that our students get the most out of their degree and are able to progress through our courses, we ask for proof of English and Math proficiency. At AIU we offer the English Placement Test (EPT) and the Math Placement Test (MPT) which measures an applicant's proficiency in both subjects.
The English Placement Test (EPT) is a computer-based, ESL test developed by ACCUPLACER – College Board.
The Math Placement Test (MPT) is a computer-based, multiple-choice test, administered in English. The test structure and content has been selected to ensure that our applicants are tested on a variety of skills to provide a clear understanding of their skill level.
For STEM Majors – You are required to take the AAF – Advanced Algebra and Functions test.
For Non-STEM Majors – You are required to take the QRAS – Qualitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics test.
If you are an applicant who does not meet our minimum requirements in English and/or Math, you will be offered admission to our development courses in our English and/or Math Foundation Programs, where our qualified instructors will prepare you for university-level courses.
