We involve UW faculty and staff members in planning each year's FIG courses to create clusters of courses that will complement each other, and allow students to experience some of the university's most exciting course offerings in their first quarter.
First Year Programs fosters a successful undergraduate student experience through strategic programming that focuses on positive academic transitions and the development of learning communities. Through partnerships with faculty, staff, alumni, and student leaders our programs create the space for students to define how they will engage, learn, and thrive at the University of Washington.
