Early Start Programs

The transition from high school to college is a major step. CMU's Early Start Program (ESP) is designed to give first-time traditional students valuable knowledge about their university journey. Taught by CMU faculty, the Early Start Program provides students with a better understanding of the skills needed to be successful in college, such as study skills, test-taking strategies, and time management techniques. Take advantage of this opportunity to meet your Mavily and learn how to navigate campus before the semester starts. Participants will earn two credit hours by completing the UNIV 101 course. For more information, visit the Early Start website.

Students participating in the Compass Program who choose not to participate in the Early Start Program will complete the UNIV 100 course during their first semester at CMU. For more information, contact IRIS.
