First Year and Transition Programs

 

Welcome to Stetson!

The transition to college is an exciting time! But it can also cause some degree of anxiety for you and your family. At Stetson University we're committed to assisting you in gaining the academic skills and social connections needed to be a successful Hatter. Our Orientation Programs are designed to help connect you with other future Hatters and allow you to feel comfortable starting your Stetson journey.
