First Year Development Program

FYDP is a mandatory program that lasts two semesters and is an integral part of your GWSB program. You must take FYDP as a freshman and register for BADM 001 in the Fall semester and BADM 002 in the Spring semester. FYDP meets monthly throughout the semester. In addition, freshmen are assigned a mentor. Although BADM 001 AND BADM 002 are non-credit hour courses, they are a requirement of your freshman year studies and attendance and completion of the assignments is mandatory. You must register for the same section (10 or 11) both semesters and you will stay with the same mentor and teams for both semesters. There is a $75.00 fee each semester for this program.
