Fredonia in 4

"Fredonia in 4" is our commitment to ensure that freshmen will graduate in 4 years providing they follow the requirements of the program, such as meet regularly with their academic advisor. Our graduation rates are among the highest in the nation.

Advanced Placement and College Credit

Over 30% of our freshmen begin college with advanced standing credit (AP, CLEP and IB) earned in high school. Our Advanced Credit page outlines the Advanced Placement and CLEP exam scores required to receive advance credit at Fredonia. Appropriate classes taken at an accredited college or university will apply toward your degree.

Honors Program

Working closely with faculty members distinguished both for scholarship and teaching, honors students take four seminar classes. Topics have included "Politics and the Novel," "Ethical Problems in the Natural Sciences," and "The Dilemmas of Institutionalized Evil." Each seminar meets a requirement in the liberal arts and science core curriculum. Honors students also receive a scholarship award and priority registration for classes. We invite students to apply based upon an evaluation of academic credentials; the application requires completion of an essay. Honors Program invitations are sent to selected students in the Spring. Visit the Honors Program website.

Liberal Arts Freshman Year Experience

Approximately 25% of our freshman class enter Fredonia as Liberal Arts students, or students who have not yet chosen a major. The Liberal Arts Freshman Year Experience is designed to assist students in their exploration and selection of a major.
