FYS101L - First Year Seminar

4 Credit(s)

Liberal Arts
The cornerstone of the Marist Core, this course introduces students to the College as an intellectual community. The course provides students with instruction in active research, writing, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary study from the very outset of their college experience. Although specific FYS topics vary, each course provides students with instruction in writing, critical thinking, information literacy, and public presentation. Each FYS also engages with one of the following themes central to liberal learning in the 21st century: Cultural Diversity, Civic Engagement, Quantitative Reasoning, and Nature & the Environment. Each section of Writing for College, the other Foundation course in the Marist Core, also addresses one of these themes. Students must take the FYS in the first year of study.
