Program for Advising in Scholarship & Service (PASS)
The Program for Advising in Scholarship & Service (PASS) is a selective first-year academic learning community for Arts and Sciences students who have a shared interest in the academic, cultural, career, and community benefits of diversity.
PASS uniquely links you with your academic advisor, faculty, community, and peers in ways that ensure your academic success and engagement. PASS offers you all the benefits of a small college experience - personalized guidance and support - with the kinds of great opportunities available only at a large university.
