Pre-Skills

"Pre-skills" summer coursework is required for many of the core courses to fully prepare students for the first fall semester. Pre-skills courses equip students with the fundamental quantitative concepts and skills necessary for mastery in these and future courses. Pre-skills coursework prepares students to perform at a "higher level," that is, focusing on managerial implications instead of quantitative details.

UMD students have unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning, an online library of instructional videos covering the latest software, creative, and business skills.
