The University College is the academic home for exploratory students. It also provides academic advising to freshmen business administration, pre-psychology, and pre-elementary education students. University college activities include early assessment of entering students' academic difficulty, placement of under prepared students in appropriate developmental courses, and creation of special sections of established courses and of new courses to meet the needs of entering students.
