First Year Cohort (FYC) Courses
One course with an FYC designation is required for all first year students and is taken in the fall semester. The FYC course is taught by a faculty member who serves as the students' first-year advisor for both the fall and spring terms. This course is a unique opportunity for students to make a close connection with their advisor, as they spend a minimum of three hours of classroom time per week together, in addition to more traditional advising appointments. After the first year, students select or are assigned to faculty advisors in their majors or areas of interest.
