UWYO Courses

UWYO courses are designed to help students acculturate to college life and coursework and learn key academic skills. Course content is combined with training in critical reading, academic writing, research, formal presentation, and many other emphases. UWYO courses have low student-teacher ratios in an effort to help students experience richer connection with the instructor and students in the course. Most UWYO courses imbed intellectual self-awareness within the course goals. Several UWYO courses are part of UW learning communities and provide additional opportunities for students to engage with and work together in their cohort.
