The First-Year Seminar (FYS) is a required two-credit graded course, taken during the fall semester of your first year. Your professor will guide your inquiry into your selected topic and also help you to understand the academic expectations and resources at Southwestern.

But, don’t let the fun topics mislead you: Seminars are real courses with real academic content designed to prepare you for the rigors of Southwestern coursework. Students find the Seminars challenging, yet rewarding.
