First-Year Seminar helps students to achieve their educational goals through the utilization of a full range of institutional and community resources.
A self-discovery course that provides first and second year students the opportunity to develop career interests and goals. Students will gain an understanding of their interests and personal preferences by completing and critically analyzing various career inventories. Topics include the role of career planning in life planning, decision-making, sources of career information and the relationship between careers and a college education.
This course provides knowledge of a practical preparation for the world of work. Students conduct self-assessment for career planning; learn how to research particular jobs, careers and employers; develop skills needed for obtaining a job; learn how the workplace is organized; and explore the options for combining career and life expectations.
This course exposes students to in-depth readings and well-chosen oppositional readings to help them develop intellectually and ethically by recognizing competing arguments and making a reasoned, context-appropriate commitment to one position. Some of the oppositional readings include artists, statements, criticisms, biographies, web-based essays, peer-reviewed journal articles, and book chapters. These authentic authorial voices engage students in thinking through competing perspectives on an issue. Students will practice critical thinking and reading in order to: reconsider and revise views where honest reflection suggests that change is warranted and face their own biases, prejudices, stereotypes, or egocentric tendencies. When students believe that their efforts are contributing significantly to their learning, learning becomes its own motivation.
