Young Harris College’s First Year Foundations course (FOUN 1000) provides an opportunity for students to work with a YHC professor or staff member to help them understand what it takes to succeed in college. Students selected to participate in the program will work through adjusting to college, learning to manage time and stress, setting priorities and understanding academics and campus life. The First Year Foundations course is a great way to begin life as a college student.
The two-credit-hour course serves as a general education elective. The class meets two-three times weekly for the first half of the fall semester, which is exactly the time when incoming students are finding their way and forming college goals, and less frequently for the remainder of the semester.
For more information, email or call the co-directors of the program, Louisa Franklin at (706) 379-5164 and Dr. Bryan Hayse at (706) 379-5174.
