First-Year Seminar

Limited to small groups of 12 first-year students each, First-Year Seminars are led by full-time faculty members from the Lynch School of Education & Human Development. Seminars dive into a topic of the faculty members choosing and range across various fields of expertise. First-year students will deepen their intellectual habits, academic expectations, and learning practices essential for success at the LSEHD.Students participate in weekly 90-minute sessions during Fall and in complementary co-curricular experiences in Fall & Spring. To receive full credit, students must participate in all activities and will receive a final grade at the end of the Spring term. This course is required for all first-year students at LSEHD starting Fall 2026.
