First-Year Seminar
FYS prepares incoming and transfer students for their college career and the necessary skills they'll need to succeed.
Why an FYS Course?
First-Year Seminar, or FYS, is designed to assist first-year students in adjusting to university expectations, acquiring essential skills for academic success, and enhancing quantitative reasoning skills. FYS works closely with the Common Experience Program, Mays Center, and the University Library to offer students a variety of ways to develop self-awareness, personal responsibility, and academic skills. Additionally, FYS offers students various opportunities to increase career readiness and to become active members of the campus community. Students also having one on one meeting with their professor and peer leader allow them to create a personal bond with that class.
