Mind 100: The First Year Preceptorial

MIND 100 is an introduction to college-level work designed to sharpen students' reading, thinking, and writing abilities by engaging them in the study and discussion of challenging classical and contemporary texts. The course can be taken as an elective in UNC's Liberal Arts Core.

The primary goal of the course is to facilitate the transition from high school to college. The First Year Preceptorial accomplishes this by:

Introducing students to the type of work that will be expected of them in college.
Developing in them the habits of reading, thinking about, and discussing challenging texts.
Helping them to develop their abilities as writers.
Fostering a sense of community.
