First Year Experience

All first-year students will be required to enroll in a seminar-style course with their peers. This course does not need to reflect on their academic study interest but will be an engaging blend of opportunities that help them thrive in college life. The FYE course will be automatically built into your Fall Semester schedule once you have deposited and filled out your enrollment forms sent from the office of Admissions.
