GS 191 - Fall 2009

Overview

Hundreds of universities across the country have been creating First-Year Experience courses because they recognize that putting first-year students together in small classes with seasoned faculty is a powerful way to help students make the transition to university life. Last summer a team of eight faculty from a wide range of disciplines came together to create an innovative course specifically for entering PNC students. The course is designed to encourage students to think about how to get the most from their university education, while working on crucial skills that will help achieve that goal. The course is also designed as an ideal introduction to PNC's General Education Program.
