Wisconsin Experience Seminar:Counseling Psychology 125
The School of Education hosts sections reserved for our students and consist of students across majors. This small, interactive course is designed to help students transition successfully to academic and student life at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Students will explore campus resources and opportunities; their skills, identity, interests, and goals; and the history and purpose of UW–Madison to help them make the most of their Wisconsin experience.
First Year Interest Groups (FIGs)
FIGS are cohorts of twenty first-year UW-Madison students who share a common academic interest and take (usually) three fall-semester classes together as a group. Each FIG is anchored by a small enrollment seminar that is only open to incoming freshmen — who take this class and the other courses in the FIG together as a cohort.
