Welcome to The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
The First-Year Experience at Oshkosh
The First-Year Experience Program at UW Oshkosh helps students successfully transition from high school to college through a two-credit course called “PC 101: Great Expectations.”
This course focuses on the whole college experience rather than on a single academic discipline in order to initiate students into the wide array of opportunities available on campus. It also helps them build connections on campus that are vital to success.
No more than 20 students are enrolled in each section of the First-Year Experience course so they can quickly build a network of peers to help them succeed at the University.
Two instructors, selected specifically for their dedication to underclassman, are assigned to each section — one from the University’s professional staff and the other from the instructional staff. In addition, each section is assigned an upperclassman mentor selected for their success on campus.
