University
College
 Founded on
July 1, 2003, University College brings together existing and
planned programs focused on increasing student achievement and
engagement across the university. The College coordinates and
guides programs from both academic affairs and student
affairs, honing their focus across disciplines to ensure that
every Winthrop student, regardless of their ultimate degree
goal, has a common academic foundation as they commence their
course of major study.
University
College brings together Winthrop’s revised General Education
program, ACAD101 (Principles of the Learning Academy), the
Honors program, and the activities and opportunities available
through the International Center. The Teaching and Learning
Center, which provides professional development opportunities
for faculty and works with faculty who are new to Winthrop, is
also a key component. An overarching focus for all of the
dynamic elements of University College is enhancing the
freshman-year experience and student retention.
In addition
to the programs listed above, the College works with
orientation, service learning, and
student academic success
communities. Programs presently in development include leadership
studies, civic engagement, and academic themes in residence
halls.
