NevadaFIT information

Designed to introduce students to the rigors of coursework and develop critical thinking, planning and study skills necessary for future success, NevadaFIT is a rigorous, yet exciting program that exposes students to what it is really like to attend the University of Nevada, Reno.

Students attend one of ten college-based camps and participate in a collaborative learning experience by pairing with an undergraduate mentor in their selected major and moving into a study group known as a "Pack." These student collectives are enrolled together in one or more courses during the fall semester. Students also meet and engage with faculty, staff and fellow students in their academic major.
