FYS 101 First-Year Seminar
As a component of the First-Year Experience, the First-Year Seminar introduces students to the nature of a liberal arts education and to academic skills required for success at Rockford University. Small groups of students work with professors to read serious texts, to think critically about content and context, and to write and speak about this experience. Students are challenged to see the connections between and among disciplines, as well as between education and life. The First-Year Seminar is required of all students entering Rockford University with fewer than 20 credit hours. Eligible students taking twelve credit hours or more must enroll in the First-Year Seminar before completing 15 credit hours at Rockford University.
Scheduled: Fall and Spring semesters.
