LE 100 - First-Year Seminar

Required for all incoming first-time freshmen. Highly encouraged for transfer students. Park University’s First-Year Seminars are designed to offer incoming first-time freshman or transfer students an opportunity to engage in a course structured around independent research, small group discussion, and intensive writing across disciplines. The thematic seminars function as a means of a uniform writing requirement, stressing the importance of written expression in all disciplines; as an attractive and exciting supplement to the usual introductory survey course in many disciplines; as an early experience in the scholarship that is the foundation to upper-level courses; as a means to strengthen core academic skills, including reading comprehension, oral expression, and writing; and as an introduction to university life, adjustment issues, and enhancement of skills for success in the university.
