GT-1000INT is designed for freshman who have lived and received most of their education outside of the U.S. In addition to the GT curriculum, this section will afford opportunities to students to learn strategies that will help them succeed in an American academic environment.  Students will grow in their understanding of cross-cultural realities,  their ability to understand the expectations that both professors and international students have for the other and how to effectively manage differences. Please find more information about GT 1000 here.
