The First-Year Testing, Consulting and Advising Program (FTCAP), conducted by Penn State's Division of Undergraduate Studies, assists new first-year students to evaluate their educational plans by providing them with a comprehensive program of testing and individualized educational planning and academic advising.
This program is the first stage of academic advising, and provides students with an understanding of their scholastic preparation, academic ability, and educational and professional interests, and introduces them to the academic structure and degree programs of the University.
