Queens Community

Introduction to Queens College and its community within the Borough of Queens, offered for first-year students. This is a variable topics course with different offerings tailored for students who are considering or enrolled in certain clusters of majors, such as Education, Business and Economics, Social Sciences, Visual and Performing Arts, Life Sciences, Technology. The course will be taught within a disciplinary perspective representing one of these clusters of majors, and provides students with supports and skills for successful entry into the major or major exploration. It also introduces students to the broader community within the Borough, as it connects to this disciplinary perspective (e.g., NYC schools for Education majors). Students read and write about topics within this disciplinary perspective, and engage in project-based learning that employs appropriate technology to discover, investigate, analyze, and present findings.
