One key component of the MSU Texas First-year Experience programming is our fall semester First-Year Seminar. We offer three different seminars that are designed to meet students’ needs and introduce them to the MSU Texas Mustang community. All new college students are required to complete one of the options; Academic Advisors can help students determine which one is appropriate!
First-year Mustangs Adventure
MWSU 1230: First-year Mustangs Adventure (QEP) This seminar provides new students the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge, and mindset to achieve academic success. As a 0-credit hour course, this invaluable curriculum is delivered at no cost to the student, and is open to students who are not required to take MWSU 1233 or MWSU 2003.
College Connections
MWSU 1233: College Connections This 3-credit hour course provides students with an intensive curriculum designed to help them build academic knowledge and study skills, engage in major and career exploration, and connect with their campus community. Students who are admitted conditionally to MSU Texas are required to take MWSU 1233, but any student is welcome to register, especially anyone who is not sure of their career path.
Interdisciplinary Thinking
MWSU 2003: Creative Inquiry Interdisciplinary Thinking: Honors, This interdisciplinary seminar is designed specifically for students who have been accepted into the Redwine Honors Program.
