Freshman Preceptorial Choices
Manhattanville College requires that all first year students register for IDS 1000: Freshman Preceptorial.
Preceptorial is a year-long seminar style course designed to foster the intellectual development of students, while also establishing a foundation for college-level academic work. During your first semester the class will focus on the development of college-level reading and writing skills, utilizing literature related to the theme of each section of the course. In the second semester the primary focus of Preceptorial will shift to the composition of a freshman essay, which utilizes the readings from the fall semester as the foundation for the essay.
In addition to the academic focus of the course, your Preceptorial instructor will also serve as your academic advisor, guiding you through your first year of academic life here at Manhattanville.
