Off to a good start!
BG Experience is an innovative academic program required for all first-year students.

During the introduction, students participate in lively, interactive small group sessions that help them learn about expectations, introduce them to concepts useful in exploring their values, discuss a common reading and examine the role values play in decision making.

Once the semester begins, students take a general education class--along with the other students in their introduction group--taught by the profession who led their group.  The peer mentor also participates in the class, assisting the profession and serving as a resource for students.
 

BG Experience classes are offered in a wide array of subject areas--from biology and history to popular culture and art.  All BG Experience classes help students fulfill their degree requirements and cover the typical course content.
