First Year Experience

First Year Experience Course (FYE 150)

In small classroom settings, FYE will help new students make a positive transition to Thomas More University by offering information and activities to help students adjust to academic and student life. Students will develop relationships with their classmates and a faculty or staff instructor. To learn more about themselves, the Thomas More University community, and the local Northern Kentucky area, students will participate in meaningful discussions, personal reflection, and engaging activities both in and out of the classroom.

This one credit course is a required course for graduation. First-year students will also receive guidance in career choice and planning, as well as guidance in forming an educational plan towards graduation.
