What is UC 160?
Answer
We call it the OWU EXPERIENCE. It's a first-semester class that gives you a taste of all the possibilities open to you. You'll work with a faculty mentor to map out your four years at OWU to be sure you take advantage of all the opportunities ahead of you. From here, the choice is yours.
