What is the P.E.R.T.?
The Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.) is Florida’s new common placement test. This test is used by all 28 Florida colleges to determine whether or not a student is ready for college credit courses in math and English. The P.E.R.T. has been aligned with the Postsecondary Readiness Competencies that Florida’s faculty have identified as necessary for success in entry-level college credit coursework. The test vendor, McCann Associates, has worked collaboratively with the Florida Department of Education’s Division of Florida Colleges and Florida College System faculty to develop and tailor items to faculty specifications. P.E.R.T. is comprised of three 25-item, computer adaptive subtests in reading, writing and mathematics.
Florida College System institutions began administering the P.E.R.T. in October 2010.

Summer Intern Nursing Program - USF
PURPOSE
The Summer Nursing Intern Program (SNIP) focuses on introducing middle and high school students to the nursing profession giving them insight on the pathway to nursing and opportunities within the profession. The program consists of an in-person experience comprising shadowing clinical nurses in professional settings including on the Mo-Bull Nursing Health Clinic van, meeting with nursing faculty and current students, and small group learning in the state-of-the-art simulation center. Interns will also meet with faculty from the Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Public Health. The week-long internship culminates with a completion ceremony for students and their families.
