The Academic Advantage Program (AAP), is a one-week pre-college boot camp offered by the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS). By refreshing your math knowledge using real-world engineering examples, you can improve your math placement level, acquire the skills you need for all college courses, and get to know some of your professors and fellow students.
Students living on campus will move into their residence hall room on Sunday, August 13. Students commuting to the program will check in on Monday, August 14 at 8 a.m. The program runs from 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A math placement score is not required to attend AAP. All students without a math placement test will test Monday morning as a baseline.
Watch your Wright State email account for more information about the program.

The purpose of the Academic Advantage Program is to help entering engineering and computer science students succeed by easing the transition from high school to college. University education, in general, is a challenging endeavor, and the study of engineering or computer science, in particular, can be rigorous and demanding. Having the right skills upfront—the kinds of skills provided by the Academic Advantage Program—will make meeting the challenge of higher education much easier. You will also have the opportunity to test into a higher math class. After your math placement retest on Friday, you will have the opportunity to talk to an academic advisor and revise your fall schedule as necessary. Testing into a higher math class can save you time and money!
The focus of the program is to provide you with three distinct advantages:
