First-Year Seminars

All students take a First-Year Seminar either in the Fall Term or January Term of their first year. Each seminar is limited to first-year students only.

A First-Year Seminar is an academic course designed to help students with a successful academic transition to college. It also offers a great opportunity for students to connect early with a faculty member in an important and meaningful way.
