The Transition Program at North Carolina State University began in 1973 as a way to assimilate freshmen to college life at a large university. The program annually offered about fifty students educational and social opportunities within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Some of these benefits included living in the same residence halls, attending the same approved courses, meeting with guests outside the University such as news editors, musicians, and judges, and having access to a Preceptor, a faculty member who lived in one of the residence halls with the Transition students.
