First Year Seminar (FYS 101) is a one-credit, semester long course that is designed to support students by fostering an understanding of their personal identity, campus resources, and the greater Syracuse community to enhance their transition to Syracuse University, a university welcoming to all. Through interactive seminar activities, a Shared Experience, and Home College Experiences, students will articulate and develop a plan to achieve their academic and personal goals. Students will be prepared to navigate diverse perspectives and contribute positively to the communities they are a part of, at Syracuse University and beyond, as engaged citizens.
