FYSW 102T.  First-Year Seminar: This Is Us, Who Are You? Family in Modern America   (3).

General education social and behavioral sciences course. Seminar helps students critically examine how family is a fundamental part of American life and society. Students look at the diversity of families in America. Family is defined broadly to include, but not limited to, blood, marriage, adoption and the desired connection among people to form a close familial bond. Students are asked to think and talk about how the notion of family has played a role in their own life and formation, as well as reflect upon the literature and research regarding family and current debates/dilemmas. First-Year Seminars do not meet a divisional requirement in the pre-Fall 2024 WSU General Education program, and can only be used in Bucket 7 for General Education starting Fall 2024.
