What is UNIV 101L3 / UNIV 179L3?
UNIV is a course designed to help first-year students transition to the academic rigors of college. Students completing UNIV earn higher grades and persist at higher rates than their peers.
Students learn how to successfully navigate the university system, what study techniques can enhance their grades, and how to live and learn in a multicultural environment. In addition, the classes are small and allow students to develop individual relationships with the faculty/staff teaching team members and other students in the class. This class prepares students for success at EMU and beyond.
UNIV 179L3, designed for EMU Edge, BrotherHOOD, and SisterHOOD Program students, features the same curriculum content but includes a two-hour themed study session that counts toward program required study table hours.
