Description
STAGE ONE
Introductory Seminars for New First-Year Students or Transitions for Returning Students
These seminars serve as a transition to the Ursuline College experience. Each is a six-credit,
writing-intensive course that gives students the challenge and support they need for
high achievement in their college careers. Each offers diversified learning activities that
strengthen students' abilities to speak and write effectively, to interact with others in groups, to
read and interpret challenging texts, and to progress smoothly through the remainder of
their studies. While seminars may vary in topic, all deal with four main themes: education, identity,
meaning, and voice.
The Introductory Seminar, US 101-102, is a six-credit, two-semester course for new students of
traditional age.
