YOUR 1ST YEAR
BEGIN BUILDING THE FUTURE
YOU WANT TO SEE.
The broader and stronger your foundation, the
higher you can build. So along with calculus,
chemistry and calculus-based physics, first-year
students in engineering programs also take an
orientation course that can help them choose a
major and the appropriate options. The College
of Engineering encourages all students to declare
general engineering for their first year to explore
different disciplines, find the best major for their
interests and stay on track for graduation.
You’ll also develop your critical-thinking,
communication and problem-solving skills
through courses from Oregon State’s
Baccalaureate Core — the arts and humanities,
writing and cultural diversity.
Students in business information systems will
mostly take courses from the Baccalaureate Core
and from the College of Business core curriculum
during their first year.
To make sure you get off to a good start and stay
on course for graduation, you should meet with
an advisor as you plan your first-year program —
and at regular intervals after that.
