FTCAP

First-Year Testing Consulting and Advising Program

Established in 1957, FTCAP gives all entering first-year students the opportunity to examine their academic abilities, interests, and educational plans before their first semester of classes. Students' families are also encouraged to participate. FTCAP is a comprehensive program of pre-registration testing in English, mathematics, and chemistry; individualized educational planning; and academic advising. The first stage of academic advising for all entering first-year students, FTCAP provides students with a basic understanding of what will be expected of them at Penn State and how their particular abilities and interests may fit with one or more of the University's majors.
