Description:

The First Year Seminar in the major is a one credit hour elective course. For students with no declared major (including those in the Academic Exploration program), FYSM provides information and advising that will help them explore their interests in a variety of degree and career options. For students with a declared major, the course provides contact with faculty, programming and academic advising specific to the major. FYSM emphasizes the development of skills necessary for success in college (e.g., academic research and critical thinking skills, time management and study skills, wellness and personal responsibility). Skills will be related to the course content of introductory-level courses. This course is also designed to help new students adjust to the university and understand and identify with the purpose of higher education and the traditions of the Holy Cross community. Topics are selected based on the interests and needs of students and on areas of faculty expertise. (Fall)
