FYS-101 First-Year Seminar
This course introduces all students to effective academic writing through participation in the processes important for its creation: analytical reading, critical thinking, and extensive writing practice. The seminars offer students the opportunity to join a learning community by focusing on a specific topic that poses challenging intellectual questions. All first-year students entering the College with fewer than 28 credits must complete this course. Most students will complete the course during the first semester. FYS-101 serves only first-year and qualifying transfer students, and it is not available to other students.
