Undergraduate Studies

Welcome to Undergraduate Studies!

Undergraduate Studies supports undergraduate student success through meaningful course-based learning and individualized degree programs. We can help you find your way, make a plan, learn in individualized and supported settings, and build your future.

Your Path. Your Purpose. Your Future.

 We connect students with opportunities to explore interdisciplinary pathways, engage with the community, and achieve academic and personal success. Together, we build your future. 

Undergraduate Studies offers courses and degree programs that support undergraduate success. Earn course credit while engaging in faculty-led research (FSMP), strengthening your academic standing (Bounce Back, Homebase Lab, Supplemental Instruction), preparing for a career, or gaining real-world work experience (GENS 200 / 400):
