For course descriptions for the current or upcoming term, view the First-year Seminar Descriptions from the Office of the Registrar. FYS course descriptions for the coming term are posted shortly before registration opens for that term.
Note that First-year Seminars are not offered in fall term.
The First-year Seminar course descriptions pages from the Registrar's website for the most recent years are archived below. If you need a First-year Seminar description from terms prior to those posted here, please contact us at Writing.Program@dartmouth.edu.
