STEP is a program designed to help students transition into college life. Students accepted into the program will be enrolled into a 2 credit hour UNIV (Success Strategies Course) for fall semester. During this course, students will spend 1 hour a week focused on skills necessary to be successful in college (i.e. Time Management), the other hour a week will be focused on building social belonging and community with other Pre-Nursing students (i.e. On-campus scavenger hunt or monthly dinners).
As a part of the UNIV course, students are enrolled in other courses for fall AND spring semesters together. Below are a list of courses planned for fall 2024.
