Complete List of RAP Choices for Incoming First-Year Students Fall 2021
A RAP is a community of students who enroll in a specific course and live together in a designated residence hall. Students may choose a RAP based on their major, an interest in the course subject, and/or a preferred residence hall. RAPs vary by structure, and some RAPs are reserved for students who meet certain eligibility criteria.
Each RAP has its own program page which includes the specific course/s associated with the RAP, a course description written by the instructor, and the designated residence hall.
With a freshman class of approximately 5000 students, we strive to offer a variety of options that meet the diversity of interests of all incoming students.

RAPs for Commonwealth Honors College Students
"This class has been a good introduction into college. The instructor is open and approachable if any issues or questions arise during lecture or after lecture. The workload as well is just the right amount to help me adjust into the college setting."
