Freshman Interest Groups
What is a FIG?
One of the best ways to get started at theuniversity is to
join a FRESHMAN INTEREST GROUP (FIG) for fall term .
A FIG consists of 18 to 25 first-year students who
take two regular UO courses togetherFIG students are
linked through College Connections, a seminar limited to
FIG students and typically taught by the professor of
one of the regular general-education courses in the FIG
The courses in a FIG will count toward your degree, no
matter what major you choose
A complete fall term schedule = FIG + 2 courses

Is This America? Baseball and Apple Pie
The American worldview for International students
ASTR 121 or ART 101
Are you wondering why do Americans
...do what they do?
...say what they say?
...think the way they think?
Are you worried about “dropping the ball” in your transition
from AEIS classes to other UO classes?
In this FIG you take:
INTL 250 Values Systems in Cross-Cultural Perspective
AEIS 112 Advanced Written Discourse
INLT 199: College Connections
