First-Year Seminars

We encourage our first-year students to participate in the First-Year Seminars. Our PLS 2000 Political Life course has several instructors who participate each semester.

First-Year Programs include the resources and support you will need to begin your college career successfully and to maintain that success throughout the first year.

• Wright State’s First-Year Seminar tudents earn higher grades than students who do not participate in LCs.
• Each fall, 70 to 80 percent of incoming freshmen participate in First-Year Seminars at Wright State.
• Since 2000, more than 13,000 Wright State students have participated in First-Year Seminars
• The four goals of the program are to connect with professors, achieve academic success, confirm majors and connect with colleges, and to transition and connect to that college.
