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. Seminar
topics vary each year and from seminar to
seminar. 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.
