Math Readiness Program

Does math make you anxious? Are you worried that you may not be prepared for university math?

The Flora Beckett Math and Science Help Centre offers a Math Readiness Program. The program is designed to assess a student’s mathematical strengths and weaknesses, and to provide them with a flexible, personalized learning plan to help make them university math ready.

This program is free of charge to all UNB students and is targeted at first-year students enrolled in an entry-level math course. Interested students are encouraged to register early since participation is limited.

Students interested in participating in the program can contact Shokat Keshavarzi, Coordinator, at mathhelp@unb.ca.
