Just FYI: First-Year Courses Set Students Up for Success

The First-Year Inquiry Program creates a sense of growth as well as one of community between members of NC State's faculty and first-year students.

First-Year Inquiry, FYI for short, at NC State is a unique program designed for incoming first-year students that focuses on individual success in the classroom. 
FYI partners with several different academic courses, generally those offered to first-years, and creates an additional section of the class, designed with a Q suffix, with a maximum of 19 students enrolled. These courses allow both students and teachers to engage on a deeper level with one another as well as with the material of the course. According to the program website, “results show measurable academic improvement after taking a single FYI course.”
