Benefits of the First Year Experience
National research has shown what we at Middlesex have intuitively known all along: Students are more successful in completing courses, in graduation rates, and in overall achievement when they are personally engaged with their college.
The First Year Experience introduces the following Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs):
- Written and oral communication
- Critical thinking
- Quantitative literacy
- Multicultural and global literacy
- Social responsibility
- Personal and professional development
