College of Communication FIGs
Making the transition to university life can be confusing and stressful. In the College of Communication, students who participate in the First-year Interest Group program find their freshman year to be informative, enlightening, and fun.
Each FIG in the College of Communication is carefully designed using courses that will count toward any student’s degree, even if they enroll in a FIG that includes a communication course that is not from his or her major. To figure out which FIG is right for you, talk to your academic advisor or call 512-471-1553.
