FYSM - 200. First Year at Siena Seminar 24+ Transfer

3 credit(s)
The First Year at Siena Seminar course for transfer students with 24+ credits (FYSM 200) is a one semester, writing intensive course. Incoming students will become deep critical thinkers, and they will understand and appreciate the Franciscan heritage that guides the mission of Siena University. 

Students in this course will explore all four Franciscan concerns- Heritage, the Natural World, Diversity, and Social Justice- and both the Franciscan and interdisciplinary texts associated with each. In order to meet the goals of the seminar, class size is limited to 19 students. Classes are structured along a learning community model, where careful reading, vigorous class discussions, writing as a way of learning, and thesis-driven argumentative essays are valued. 

Restriction(s): Restricted to Transfer Students matriculating with 24+ credits.
