Experience First

The Experience First courses are central to orientating students to Greenville University's mission of empowering students for lives of character and service.  Students will be exposed to college level study, reflection, critical thinking, and the integration of faith and learning that will guide them in developing habits that lead to success in college and the student's chosen vocation.  Two courses, taken during the first year of study, make up the Experience First sequence.
 
These courses will be waived for students who have 60 or more transferable credits or have earned an associate's degree.  The exception is students who have an associate's degree and have graduated from high school within nine months of being enrolled at GU; these students will be required to take both courses.
