Welcome to the Office of Undergraduate Education and Academic Student Services (UEAS) at 51²è¹Ý! Our goal is to help students navigate their undergraduate education at 51²è¹Ý. We do this by administering programs for curricula, student cohorts, holistic advising, student academic growth, and student academic support. We ensure access to academic resources for students, faculty, and staff virtually and on campus. UEAS brings about students’ academic success through experiential learning, advising, and collaboration with other 51²è¹Ý departments.

UEAS consists of multiple student-focused functional areas. In the 51²è¹Ý Core, students take foundational courses, Habits of Mind courses, and integrative courses focused on inquiry to put their curiosity to use inside and outside of the classroom. Many top performing students are also enrolled in the 51²è¹Ý Honors ProgramÌýto further enrich their scholarly activities or with the DC Community Impact Scholars Program to conduct service-oriented work with communities. Students work with the First Year AdvisingÌýoffice to build a schedule based on their academic interests and major requirements. The Student-Athlete Support Program provides additional academic and holistic support to our student athletes.Ìý
