First-Year Experience (FYE)

Director Nagy

These courses are designed to assist new students in the transition into academic life at Heidelberg University.

100. First-Year Seminar (3 sem. hrs.). An interdisciplinary general-education course for first-year students based on common objectives. Offered in the Fall semester, individual sections present students with a wide array of perspectives on these common objectives, but all sections provide first-year students the opportunity to develop their critical thinking, writing, and reading abilities and to engage in the academic life of the University. As a graduation requirement, students are not permitted to withdraw from the course and those failing the class will be re-registered for a section of FYE 100 during the following semester. The Seminar is to be taken within the first 24 hours of work at Heidelberg. Arrowhead Park students are exempt from the FYE 100 requirement. Those entering the University with 24 or more hours of transfer credit are neither required nor permitted to take the course. This course cannot be substituted for any major or minor requirements.
