Welcome to the College of Liberal Arts
Access to Success (ATS) Program! What is ATS? The Access to Success (ATS) Program is a one-year program for selected College of Liberal Arts (CLA) freshmen. Selection for the ATS Program is based on an overall assessment of the admission application. The ATS Program serves students who have demonstrated the potential to succeed academically at the University but whose high school academic records suggest they would benefit from participation in a learning community that provides academic courses, tutoring support, and student-to-student mentoring to support a smooth and successful transition to college. ATS students will explore their talents and abilities, set high academic and personal standards for themselves, take advantage of the full range of campus resources, and work together to build community. ATS Advising Services ATS includes a unique program of advising in CLA devoted to enriching your first-year experience and ensuring your academic success through access, support, and opportunity. The professional and student staff of ATS are committed to helping you achieve academic success and graduation. The ATS program provides advising for all of the majors in CLA. Your adviser will work closely with you from orientation to graduation and will help you understand requirements, choose a major that fits your talents and goals, and stay on track to graduate. The low student-to-adviser ratio means that you can expect to find appointment times when you need them. The ATS program office also has a computer lab where you can write papers, conduct online research, and access your course websites.

CLA 1005: Liberal Arts Learning and CLA 2005: Intro to Liberal Education and Responsible Citizenship CLA 1005 and CLA 2005 are courses required for all Access to Success students.

Degree requirements For a list of links and a run-down on Liberal Education, second language, major and minor requirements, and overall requirements for your degree, check out the "degree requirements" link. Major exploration You have plenty of time to decide on a major; CLA students aren't required to declare a major until they have completed 60 semester credits. This section includes a number of useful major exploration tools. Career information If you are thinking about how your major matches up with your career, or conversely, what types of careers are associated with certain majors, the "career information" section is for you. Events What's happening in ATS, in CLA, or at the U? The events page will feature a list of upcoming events, including things to do around the U, info on majors/minors and "choosing a major," and career exploration. |
