Students in UNIV301 will understand and take a deep dive into an academic discipline/major, explore and utilize academic success resources, connect with and integrate into the campus community including connecting with other new transfer students, and develop themselves both personally and professionally. Students will learn from and connect with faculty, staff, and peers within their academic discipline and across the larger campus community.
