Gateways: Academic/Career/Personal Exploration Program

Gateways is a two-semester, 2-credit course designed for and required of first-year students. In the first semester, students learn about the Baccalaureate Experience, academic policies and regulations, lifestyle issues, health matters and other aspects related to adjusting to life in college. During the second semester, students take part in activities and class experiences designed to introduce them to a systematic exploration of their educational goals, interests and values as they become part of the UT community of learners. Students examine their interests and talents as they relate to their choice of major, future career interests and opportunities for personal growth. Students earn 1 satisfactory/unsatisfactory credit hour for successful completion of each course.
