Program Goal:
Readiness
Research in education has demonstrated that setting high, but achievable goals for students from an early stage of their development creates a mindset wherein students continually push themselves to meet higher standards toward excellence in their academic pursuits and in life. By linking its goals to the General Education curriculum, the First-Year Colloquium will prepare students for academic achievement that spans across the curriculum in terms of the development of critical thinking skills as well as improved written and oral expression.
