First Year Experience
Program
Benefits of FYE
What is the First Year
Experience Program?
FYE was
established in 1995 as a beneficial program designed to focus on
the first year student as they make the transition from high
school to college. The program provides academic support for
classes, knowledge about campus and community resources, and helps
students develop a social peer network.
Who is FYE for?
The first year
experience program is open to most first-time freshmen who want to
further their academic career.
The Block
When you choose
to participate in FYE, you pre-register prior to arriving on
campus for a "block" of courses. FYE offers several
major-specific blocks as well as blocks that focus on liberal
studies courses. In your block, you will have the same classes
and professors as the other students in your group. This offers
you an excellent opportunity to develop friendships, form study
groups, and experience courses with others who are pursuing
similar academic interests.
UN 100: Freshman
Seminar
The freshman
seminar course featured in many of the blocks is designed to
introduce you to college life and expectations. Class sections
are small, focus on discussions, and include a variety of
activities. The UN 100 course is co-taught by a faculty member
and a teaching intern, who is a junior or senior. UN 100 is a
two-credit elective course that counts toward graduation, grade
point average, and financial aid.
What are FYE's Goals?
To help you
develop strategies and attitudes to maximize academic success.
Also to familiarize you with campus resources and how to use them,
and to assist you in developing positive relationships with
faculty, staff, student leaders, and peers.
