First Year Seminars: Transitions

Catalog description

First-year students at Le Moyne College are negotiating many transitions, among the most important is the transition into a new experience of reflection, learning and intellectual rigor. The First-Year Seminar introduces students to the world of academic study, while also introducing them to the values of a liberals arts, Jesuit education. Using highly focused topics, often interdisciplinary in nature, these courses will help students to acclimate to college-level inquiry, while also cultivating a sense of their own identity as scholars. The topics of these courses will be inspired by the talents and the interests of the faculty--anything from the nature of artificial intelligence to the psychology of grief to the identity of the artist; however, the goal of the course will be to inspire students' intellectual curiosity as they move through their college careers. Note: Only one topic within this series of seminars is required to fulfill this course requirement.
