Lane Four: Nike + UofM Global

If you are new to college, new to online learning or you’ve been out of school for a while, the Prep Academy is an excellent starting point. If you have not taken an admissions test (ex: ACT) or had a less than ideal academic history, the Prep Academy will help overcome those obstacles and allow you to earn admission to UofM Global.

Self-paced, online coursework
Unlimited attempts to succeed, no upfront costs
Key topics include: Academic Success, Career Planning and Development, Personal and Career Success

Prep Academy Success = Admission to UofM + 12 College Credit Hours

We believe students achieve college-level learning through experiences outside of the classroom, including professional development training, earning licenses or certifications, completing military training and volunteering in the community. Our ELC Program allows you to demonstrate the academic merit of your experiences. All, while potentially earning college credit hours and shortening your path to graduation. Some degree programs allow up to 30 credit hours of ELC, and your Nike training may be eligible to be evaluated for course credit.
