Whether you are just starting at FSCJ or about to graduate, all current A.A. students are invited to take this voluntary assessment. We need you to show what you know!
The assessment, called the ETS Proficiency Profile, is designed to help FSCJ understand if we are meeting our goals for the A.A. degree program with a special focus on general education outcomes like reading, math and critical thinking. Your responses will help us enhance our general education classes.
The deadline to take the assessment has been extended until December 19, 2021.
