Small classes, big gains
First-Year Seminar (FYS) program is to help students make the transition to university courses and college-level learning by providing students the chance to take small, exciting classes that are taught in a lively, interactive way. In this effort, the FYS's focus attention on the intellectual skills that students need to flourish at the university. As a place to ask questions about the University and practice the skills needed to succeed as a first-year student, these courses provide support for the transition into college life and the K-State community.
