Your freshman year experience at Valdosta State University is critical in laying the groundwork for a successful academic and professional career. Employers view a well rounded successful academic career as evidence that students can be equally successful and productive in their chosen fields. Success begins by mastering the three principal tasks of the first year student:
- Academic Skills Development
- Adjusting to College Life
- Developing Academic & Career Goals
VSU’s Freshman Year Experience (FYE) is an outstanding student development program that assists first-year students accomplish these tasks. The program is designed primarily for students who have not yet decided on an academic major.
Being in FYE has been very beneficial. I understand a lot of things more. I know exactly what courses I need to take in order for me to get my degree. Also, being in FYE has made meeting people so much easier, by having me take courses with the same group of people.
