First Year Seminar: Thriving in College (FYS101)

Thriving in College (FYS 101) assists new students in making a successful transition academically, socially, and psychologically to Reinhardt University. This course introduces students to the collegiate experience. FYS 101 aims to foster:

• An engagement in deep learning
• Application and growth of academic determination
• Positivism and confidence in the student’s present and future life
• A sense of belonging and connectedness
• An involvement in the curricular and co-curricular life of the university
• A commitment to make a difference in the community.

This course also articulates the benefits of higher education and the expectations and values of Reinhardt University. FYS 101 supports students in the transitions to college and encourages their university journey as one in which students more than survive a four-year academic course; rather, they thrive.
