About Us
Program objectives:
- Sharpen critical and creative thinking skills
- Enhance the development of intellectual maturity
- Increase student responsibility for his or her own learning
Students further benefit from experiencing classes with a small faculty/student ratio that fosters a closer relationship within the student cohort and between students and professors. These portable skills will benefit students in any major.

Look for the Q!
Each FYI course is designated with a “Q” suffix and fulfills one or more general education program (GEP) requirements. Teaching and student success are top priorities for FYI faculty, who engage FYI students through the use of “inquiry-guided” teaching methods.
