First-Year Programs
First-Year Seminars
- FYS are writing-intensive, elective programs for first-year students in the College of Arts and Sciences.
- FYS combine an interactive course environment with careful academic advising.
- First-Year Seminars fulfill the University's Writing and Information Literacy Requirement and many also satisfy one of the College’s Distribution Requirements (Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Science, or Social Science).
- The FYS professor becomes an additional resource to the student’s professional advisor, helping to further explore a student's interests and academic goals.
