Starting Blocks

• 

  What is a "Starting Block"?

  To help new students start strong at KSU, incoming first year students are provided the opportunity to participate in Starting Blocks.

  Rather than selecting just individual classes, students choose a block of courses, allowing them to take multiple courses with other students with similar long-term interests and goals.

  Starting Blocks ensures that every first-year student starts their academic pursuit on the right foot. Students will have the ability to be with familiar faces in multiple courses. Get started with the right support to help you succeed!

• What Are the Benefits of Starting Blocks? How Do They Work?

  You will be able to build your first semester at Kennesaw State University in just a few easy steps!

  Your major will help us determine the most appropriate courses for the first semester.

  You will first choose a Major Starting Block followed by an ENGL/MATH (1111, 1113, 1179, or 1190) or ENGL/STAT 1401 Starting Block. (Your options will depend on your MATH Placement and major requirements!).

  You can then add any additional class(es) to your schedule if it was not included in your Starting Blocks. Talk to your advisor!

  Even if you have Dual Enrollment/AP/or other college-level credit coming in, Starting Blocks may still work for you!

  Contact your academic advisor to learn more about your options!

  If you have been accepted into the Journey Honors College, there are Starting Blocks specifically for you!

  You’ll meet the Honors Advisors and College Advisors at orientation, but you can get some things figured out before you attend! Please check here for information about Honors options.

  Are you declared in an Online-Learner program? There are Starting Blocks for you!
