First Year Experience
First Year Experience Course (FYE 150)
In small classroom settings, FYE will help new students make a positive transition to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ by offering information and activities to help students adjust to academic and student life. Students will develop relationships with their classmates and a faculty or staff instructor. To learn more about themselves, the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ community, and the local Northern Kentucky area, students will participate in meaningful discussions, personal reflection, and engaging activities both in and out of the classroom.
This one credit course is a required course for graduation. First-year students will also receive guidance in career choice and planning, as well as guidance in forming an educational plan towards graduation.
