Instructor Application and Information

The First Year Experience (FYE) Program is seeking outstanding faculty, staff and graduate students to serve as Instructors, Co-Instructors and Assistant Instructors for the FYE course (AMS 1363). FYE is designed for incoming freshmen students and deals with transition issues, academic success, health and safety, student involvement, values and leadership, and knowledge of campus resources. FYE classes are offered during Summer C and Fall semesters and have an average of 20-25 students. FYE classes are one credit (900 minutes total), satisfactory/unsatisfactory based, and use a customized FSU text and activity book. Instructor or Co-Instructor positions require a master's degree and Assistant Instructors must have a bachelor's degree. Each class has an instructional team which includes an undergraduate peer leader. Instructor training is provided to cover all aspects of the class.
