About Us
FYE 101 is a one-credit success course recommended to CMU’s first-year and transfer students. The course connects students to faculty, campus and community resources, and learning opportunities to support engagement and persistence. Specifically, FYE 101 supports student exploration of the CMU community as they acquire the knowledge and habits to frame academic and personal success. The course seeks to raise academic performance within the university community by connecting faculty and students early.
Students engage deeply with CMU faculty and a peer mentor in each class of 25 or fewer students through active and experiential learning opportunities. Together, they explore the value of a liberal education, discuss the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and public service, and explore diverse academic concepts to promote success throughout life.
Program Goals
The goals of the FYE 101 program at CMU are to (a) increase students' understanding of higher education processes and the principles that guide student development, (b) empower students to promote their own academic success and personal growth, and (c) engage students in the diverse intellectual and social life of the university.
