First-Year Seminar Program
http://www.lsa.umich.edu/dean/ug/fys/

A First-Year Seminar is a small-group class (typically 25 students or fewer) that focuses on a specialized topic of broad interest or current concern. First-Year Seminars require no advanced preparation, are open to all first-year students without any prerequisites, and can be used to meet some of the College's general requirements.

Taught by members of the faculty selected from all areas of the College, seminars provide a unique educational experience for entering students to participate actively in their own education. The small-group format of the course provides many opportunities for students to develop skills in critical thinking and communication through class discussions, oral presentations and reports, and varied writing assignments.
