A First-Year Seminar is a small-group
class (typically 20 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 satisfy 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.
