First Year Experience

Catalog description

Welcome to St. Francis College and First Year Experience (FYE)! FYE is a unique course designed to provide you with the opportunity to explore issues relevant to new students during your first semester at St. Francis College. Our goal for the semester is to provide an open forum for discussion about college transition issues and concerns, and collectively build relationships and community. Through this course we will promote essential college-level success skills, and greater self-awareness, self-care, self-advocacy, and personal growth skills. Over the course of the semester, we will deepen your understanding of yourself as a scholar, individual, and global citizen. Together, we will investigate your college experience holistically, which will allow you the ability to make informed decisions paving the way for a richer, fuller college career. This course will include one lecture hour and one recitation hour per week.
