First Year Seminars

First Year Seminars will provide students with opportunities to work closely with a member of the faculty as they explore important intellectual questions and become immersed in the life of the mind through an exploration of a variety of academic topics.  In the course of the seminar, students will become familiar with the University’s Ignatian identity and mission and address important transition-to-college issues.  Students will choose from seminars that address a wide variety of different topics, and which can function as a major course, a general education course or an elective.  Each seminar will enroll no more than 18 students so as to maximize interaction with the professor and among students.
