From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A FIG at the University of Washington is a pre-packaged cluster of high-demand freshman courses. Approximately 70% of all entering freshmen will register for a FIG. They offer several advantages:
-They simplify the registration process. You can register for most or all of your courses at once, all of which are guaranteed to fulfill general education requirements.
-Take classes with the same 20–25 students, so even lecture classes will seem small.
-Meet students with similar interests — after all, you chose to register for the same courses!
-GEN ST 199: The University Community is included in every FIG. It's a two-credit course designed to assist you in your transition into the UW. [1]
