First-Year Courses

As a part of Earlham's General Education Requirements, first-year students complete Interpretive Practices courses and Earlham Seminars.

Interpretive Practices courses teach first-year students general methods of interpretation in reading, writing and classroom discussion that provide a basis for skills they will continue to develop throughout their college career at Earlham and throughout their lives.

Earlham Seminars (ES) demonstrate Earlham's development of an active learning community that engages students and faculty in finding new ways to interpret the world.
