You will need to take two courses to complete your first year of Adelphi’s core courses (PATH) curriculum:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A First-Year Seminar class of your choosing<\/li>\n
  2. The Art and Craft of Writing course<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    When you meet with your advisor, they will help you schedule both of these requirements, along with your other courses.<\/div>\n

    The First-Year Seminar<\/h2>\n

    In these dynamic seminar-style classes<\/a>, Adelphi faculty will introduce you to important topics and issues of the day. Choose a course that sparks your interest. Then, engage in discussions, share insights, and deliver presentations based on the ideas you cultivate.<\/p>\n

    To enrich your experience, you can attend campus events, or travel into culturally-rich New York City. All the while, you\u2019ll be learning how your life as an Adelphi student connects you to the world, your community, and your future.<\/p>\n

    Each First-Year Seminar is assigned an experienced Adelphi student (your Peer Assistant Leader<\/a>, or \u201cPAL\u201d) who will be there to answer your questions and share advice about how to get the most out of your time at Adelphi.<\/p>\n

    First-Year Seminar is required for all students except for students enrolled in Levermore Global Scholars Program<\/a> and the Honors College<\/a>. If you are in one of these programs, you will have different First Year requirements; please check with your advisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
