A new semester-long online course will help students strengthen test-taking skills, prepare for the GRE, and pursue future graduate education opportunities.
Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) will offer an online Graduate Record Examination (GRE) preparation course in Spring 2027, giving students an opportunity to build confidence and strengthen their readiness for graduate school.
Unlike a short-term workshop, PSYC 5300-OL01: GRE Exam Preparation is a three-credit, semester-long course taught online by Dr. John Gomez. The course will focus on developing test-taking skills and preparing students for the GRE General Test, an entrance exam used by many graduate programs.
For students considering graduate school, preparation can be an important step toward reaching their academic and professional goals. GRE scores may also be considered alongside grade point averages when graduate programs evaluate applicants for scholarships and other financial awards. Building familiarity with the exam and strengthening test-taking strategies can help students prepare to present their abilities with confidence.
The course reflects OLLU’s commitment to helping students look beyond graduation and plan for what comes next. Whether students aspire to pursue advanced studies in their current field, explore a new area of expertise or prepare for a career that requires graduate-level education, access to structured GRE preparation can provide an additional resource as they work toward their goals.
The impact can extend well beyond one semester. By helping students prepare for an important step in the graduate admissions process, OLLU aims to support their continued education, expand their awareness of future opportunities and equip them with skills they can carry into the next stage of their academic journeys.
