• Your First Year Seminar instructor will also be your academic advisor as you schedule classes for your freshman year at Mount Union. The earliest you may be assigned a new advisor is after spring registration (mid November), and once you've declared a major. You will then be assigned an advisor in the academic department in which your major is housed, and you can begin planning the rest of your course schedule with that new advisor.

• While it may seem intimidating at first, putting together your Written and Oral Communication (WOC) Portfolio will give you confidence in your writing and public speaking abilities and help you learn how to engage your audience and approach research. Practice now leads to fewer all-nighters later! P.S. Remember that the consultants at the Center for Writing and Oral Communication are more than willing to assist at any point along the way!  

• Following your exploration in Foundations Courses, your strengthened skills will be ready to tackle Theme Courses and the Capstone Seminar. The Theme Courses help you integrate ideas, methods and perspectives from different fields while in the Capstone Seminar you will work with fellow students to address a real-world issue.

Get ready for challenging, yet incredibly rewarding courses that will prepare you for life beyond college... and provide some fun along the way! Our Class of 2018 is full of exceptional Raiders and we can't wait to see what you accomplish!
