Learn moreYour WVU adventure starts now.
Your experience as a Mountaineer will be unique, depending on your major, career pathway and the activities you choose to participate in. But there is a common path set up for all new students to embark on.
All new WVU students complete a First-Year Seminar course to help them transition to college.
Catered to each school or college, the coursework, experiences and learning outcomes may look differently for each seminar, but all students will learn more about life at WVU, academic programs, career pathways and information on how to succeed inside and outside of the classroom. Successful completion of a FYS is required to graduate.
