First Year Seminar
As a first-year student, you will take a First Year Seminar (FYS) during your first semester on campus as part of Mount Union's Integrative Core. The courses you choose from are both interesting and diverse.  In fact, you can read about what topics were offered in 2016 , and check back for what will be offered in 2017. When you attend Preview, you'll register for your fall semester courses, and you'll get to choose your FYS course at that time!

The small class size in your FYS will allow you to interact closely with a professor who will help you cultivate a vision for your education. The FYS also will expose you to basic writing, communication, and critical thinking skills, among others. Additionally, the faculty member who teaches this seminar will serve as your initial academic advisor during the fall semester and will help you explore the opportunities of a Mount Union education.
