What Does An Ideal FIG Student Look Like?
Since the creation of the FIG program in 2000, we have earned overwhelming campus-wide support. This program is designed for students who have chosen a major and are interested in jumping right in, as well as those who have an interest area supported by the FIG, and want to sample the academic field before declaring it as their major. Because the majority of the courses also fulfill general education requirements, participating in the FIG does not hinder students who change majors later. Other reasons students participate in FIG are because they desire to: • Live with other freshmen that have similar academic interests • Satisfy general education requirements while engaging in an in-depth exploration of major and or possible career choices. • Participate in seminars, study groups, field trips, social gatherings specially designed for FIG students.
