The mission of the First Year Seminar is to assure your successful transition to university life and study. If you enter CSUMB with fewer than 30 transferable credits, you will take First Year Seminar during your first semester. You will learn about the CSUMB Vision and the programs, services, and opportunities that make this university unique. You will learn how to access all the resources available to you.
When you complete First Year Seminar you will have developed an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) that charts your progress toward fulfillment of your personal, academic, and professional goals through your first two years and you will have a clear idea of your major options at CSUMB. The remainder of your academic plan will be completed when you enter your major.
