UNIV 2020 is a one-credit-hour elective course designed to assist new transfer students in transitioning to the MTSU campus environment. Learning modules include Success Strategies, Campus Resources/Technology, Career Development, and Campus Involvement. The purpose of the course is to provide information that will maximize students' chances for success while minimizing the time required to achieve their educational goals.

UNIV 2020 class sections are also kept small to promote a sense of community. To address more specific needs, some sections of the course are devoted to specific student populations such as veterans.
