First Year Experience (FYE) Courses are the gateway to undergraduate education at UAB. FYE Courses improve student retention by helping to bridge the gap between high school experiences and university expectations and enhance successful progress towards graduation by establishing the foundations for academic achievement and holistic development. Every UAB first year student should share a common foundation for learning, whatever their majors or professional goals are.
First Year Experience Courses include U101, freshman learning communities (FLC), and school-specific introductory courses.
