大学生活可以看作是一个谜, a myriad of pieces that fit together to create a picture- a road map per se- of what the Good Life ought to be and how to live it. 你在电子游戏软件的时候, it is your challenge to put these pieces together in a way that makes sense for the person you are becoming. 勇于了解 is a first-year elective designed to confront students with the most fundamental formational questions that will guide your years at 电子游戏软件 and beyond:
我是谁??
我擅长什么?
我被呼召成为谁?

第一年主题研讨会(FTS)为期12周, one-credit 基石 option for students in the 莫大学 of Arts & 科学. These seminars are taught by faculty who lead the discussion on a research topic within their academic discipline and their specific area of expertise. First-year Topic Seminars offer students the opportunity to explore academic areas of interest without having to commit to a major just yet. Enrolling in a FTS is a unique opportunity to test the waters in such disciplines as 经济学, 剧院, 政治科学, 历史, 沟通, 等. The faculty instructor for your FTS will also be your academic advisor for your first year and until you are assigned an academic advisor in your major program sometime in your sophomore year. FTS sections also incorporate outside-of-the-classroom activities in and around campus and the City of Boston into the course curriculum.
Graded on the scale of Pass/Fail, this course ends the week before Thanksgiving Break.
