THE UBalt EXPERIENCE

first-time undergraduate experience

During your first-time undergraduate year, UBalt's learning communities allow you to get to know your classmates and professors in a set of thematically linked classes. These classes count toward your general education requirements and are designed to be interactive and flexible. A wide range of topics are available for you to choose; recent themes have included social networking, superheroes, crime dramas, classical mythology, propaganda and pop culture.

Through a combination of classroom and online instruction, the First-Year Seminar is designed to help you develop skills to apply to your studies while at UBalt. As part of this course, you'll create:

  • A four-year college plan: this timeline will outline how you can achieve your goals while at UBalt, which may include studying abroad or finding an internship.
  • An electronic portfolio: this documentation of your academic and professional development can be used to apply for internships, jobs or graduate school.
Your academic adviser is one of your primary resources on campus; he or she can assist you with finding course options and registration, understanding academic policies, connecting with campus resources and fielding any other questions or concerns you may have.
