Known on campus as FRINQ, Freshman Inquiry provides students the academic and social foundation to integrate their university experience by engaging them in transformative learning experiences with their fellow students.
Built around a theme of inquiry, over the course of a year, each FRINQ provides students a place to examine challenging course topics through a variety of perspectives while gaining knowledge and skills they will need in their other courses and career.
Staying in the same small class for the year helps students transition to Portland State and allows them to build friendships with students from a variety of majors.
