UST 15 - FIRST YEAR SEM UNIV STUD

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

University Studies

Description:

The Department of Advisement First-Year Seminar introduces first-semester first-year students assigned to a program in the Department of Advisement to the critical strategies, resources, and responsibilities of a university student. The seminar will build the students' foundation knowledge and understanding of what it means to be a college student, utilize resources and develop skills for success, and make wise, informed decisions in planning for a future career. Toward this end, the students enrolled in this course will participate in a number of relevant experiences that facilitate and strengthen their personal appreciation and intellectual understanding of their role as a student at the University and the support available to them to ensure their success. This course will meet twice a week for 8 weeks for 50 minutes per session. This will give the students all of the information they need up front so they will be fully prepared by the second half of the semester. Students will continue to have contact with the instructors as their advisees. Students will receive a letter grade for this course. Please note that the proposed UST 015 is not to be used as a repeat of UST 001, and it may not be taken if a student has already taken another first-year seminar (e.g. BUS 001, EDU 015, VPA ***)
