The First-Year Experience Seminar at MCC
At the core of MCC's First-Year Experience is the First-Year Experience Seminar a one-credit Interdisciplinary Studies course that is linked with a three-credit introductory college level course to form an FYE
Learning Community. Students learn essential success skills, strategies and behaviors
that are necessary for the successful completion of their college classes.
