First-Year Program

At Holy Cross, we believe that learning and living should be interconnected.  As part of this philosophy the College invites incoming students to participate in its innovative First-Year Program (FYP.) 

Each year the program is oriented around the central, challenging question, “How then shall we live?”  Any student who chooses to be in this program enrolls in one, year-long FYP seminar.  Through this seminar, common readings, co-curricular events, and living together in the same residence hall, FYP participants explore with faculty and fellow students fundamental intellectual and ethical questions.
