This seminar attempts to facilitate the adjustment of college students to the high expectations, demanding workload, increased academic liberties, and other aspects of the transition to post-secondary education by highlighting critical issues in the transition from youth to adulthood that are applicable to college freshmen. The course will examine the development of identity as young people make important transitions in establishing more autonomy in family relationships, new peer relationships, ethnic identity, dating and intimate relationships, and prospects for professional and career development. In addition, the class will explore University resources and supports available to new students.
