Mission

  • The principal goal of the First Year Experience (FYE) is to enhance first year and transfer students’ academic performance. 

  • The program is designed to effectively assist first year and transfer students in adjusting to college life and establishing skills that will lead to academic success as well as rewarding careers.

  • To enhance students’ academic performance

  • To develop a strategic plan for personal and interpersonal development and community service

  • To identify pre-professional skills and information needed when declaring a major and selecting a career

  • To create an awareness of the University

  • To create an awareness of researching information for personal and pre-professional growth
