VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND STATE UNIVERSITY

University Studies is an inclusive educational environment that empowers students to explore possibilities, confidently make decisions, and prepare for the future... As early as 2007, University Studies offered a first-year experience course to students. During these first years, the course was taught by US advisors but housed in courses owned by other departments. The first course was UNIV 1004, College Success Strategies, and credit for the course did not count toward graduation. In 2010, the course was re-designed to comply with QEP and VT's Pathways to Success initiative and was offered in a variety of delivery modes including traditional, online, and blended sections. In 2011, the course was offered under a new number and as a special study, UNIV 2984.
