First year experience (FYE)
The FYE course is a unique curriculum that all first years in CEHD are a part of, designed to build community and help support the transition from high school into college. FYE courses help you reach your four-year graduation goals, support the completion of U of M’s liberal education requirements, and meet prerequisites for the majors in CEHD.
Highlights:
- Small group discussions, encouraging you to get to know your peers and instructors
- Gain valuable perspectives by engaging with students who are interested in similar and different majors and careers.
- Curriculum focused on considering our most pressing social-justice issues
- Collaborative projects with peers
- Instructors who are committed to supporting your first year journey
Fall semester
In the fall semester, you’ll enroll in the EDHD 1525W: CEHD First Year Experience, a discussion-based class with a seminar atmosphere focused on developing your reading, critical thinking, and academic writing skills.
The FYE course addresses the shared inquiry: “How can one person make a difference?” by discussing a common book. The Fall Semester 2024 book is The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson, and you will examine the book through additional readings, writing, and discussion. Find out more on the CEHD Reads website.
