Where Futures Begin

The University 101 program was initiated in 1972 at USC Columbia to focus on easing the transition from high school to college. Students who register for the UNIV 101 course find themselves in smaller campus environments where they have built-in support systems to create paths toward personal and academic success at the collegiate level. Students in UNIV 101 discover dynamic and interactive classrooms where they enjoy the contact they make with classmates and instructors. The University 101 program is consistently ranked in the top of “programs to look for” at colleges and universities by the US News and World Report.

The program has been a part of USC Lancaster course offerings since the 1980s. At USC Lancaster, students can choose between general sections of the course and discipline specific sections. Commonly taught discipline specific sections include business, health professions/nursing, and education. Additionally there are often sections for non-traditional students and for those in the OSP/TRiO program. Some Columbia campus majors require the discipline specific UNIV 101 course.

No matter the section, students are exposed to a variety of useful topics and issues that address the personal, social and academic needs of today’s college student. Outside speakers—both professional and community experts—join the UNIV 101 students weekly to enhance learning opportunities for all. Whether you take it as an elective or as a requirement for your major, you’ll find UNIV 101 to be a rewarding and an enriching course.
