During FSY, students take two summer courses for a total of 1.5 college credits. Regardless of their intended major, all incoming Yale students will need fundamental writing and quantitative reasoning skills to be successful at Yale. In preparation for this transition, all First-Year Scholars will enroll in a popular Yale College writing seminar, English 1014,  for which they will receive one Yale credit. Students will also be placed in a half-credit Math or Statistics course that is focused on enhancing their critical thinking and quantitative skills.
