Are you looking for

a SMALL college experience

at the BIG university?

The First-Year Integrated Program (FIP) is
a year-long experience for freshmen that
introduces students to the ways 3 different disciplines approach similar topics. Program participants are
also brought into a unique learning community
including faculty from different disciplines,
graduate teaching assistants, and first-year students.
FIP sequence students will be with the
same 3 faculty, 2 graduate TA's and classmates
for the entire year!

Only 80 students are accepted into the
First-Year Integrated Program per course sequence
each year. Successful completion of a
three-course sequence will satisfy four four different
general education (GE) requirements
including the second quarter of the
lower-division writing GE requirement with
a capstone research writing component.

The only pre-requisite for FIP is that you have satisfied
the Entry Level Writing Requirement by Fall 2008.
To complete your lower division writing requirement at UCI, you'll need to also sign up for Writing 39B for
either Fall 2008 or Winter 2009.

Hear what Lisa, a 2008-9 FIP student has
to say about who should take a FIP sequence...
