The program provides a comprehensive picture of University life. Precollege courses are offered in English, mathematics, social sciences and the personal adjustment of college. All new EOP students attend a no-cost orientation program designed to introduce students to faculty, staff, campus facilities, and make the transition to college life easier. During orientation, students meet with their academic advisor who helps with course selection and registration. All EOP students are assigned an EOP advisor to help select the right courses and make the best decisions about their future.
Advisors can also help students find solutions to social and personal problems.
Top students in a variety of academic areas are available, free of charge, to meet with EOP students as often as needed to help with course assignments. The EOP offoice arranges special seminars throughout the year on time management, vocabulary development, test taking, University resources and many other topics. These seminars are designed to help EOP students perform better academically and learn the University's resources. The Learning Center provides special courses to help all UB students improve their skills in writing, reading, math, science and studying. Students receive academic credit for these courses.
