University Studies 10D: Ace UCLA ǀ Critical Strategies to Achieve Undergraduate Excellence (Transfers)

https://www.uei.ucla.edu/academic-programs/university-studies/courses/

University Studies imparts UCLA students with critical strategies to achieve undergraduate excellence at a top-tier research institution. Designed specifically for transfer students, the curriculum teaches the research university’s mission, rigors, and expectations of students, as well as its pedagogical implications. It cultivates a formal space on campus where UCLA students learn the following: to engage collaboratively with their diverse community of scholars; to comprehend and apply effective learning strategies and theoretical foundations of college student development; to navigate the complex structure of the University; to practice resilience and a growth mindset; to think critically about diversity and their identity; and to be fully aware of their value to the intellectual fabric of the institution as contributors to innovative research and scholarship.
