First Year Students

First Year Advisor - Dean Emily Zenick
First year students work with Dean Emily Zenick in the Undergraduate Deans' Office to discuss appropriate course selections, sequencing, major and minor options, along with any personal concerns. Additionally, Dean Zenick can assist students in accessing all needed campus resources.

Typically, first year students meet with her during the fall semester for a first year check-up and then on an as needed basis. In the spring semester, Dean Zenick also works closely with students on academic probation to offer help and advice for academic success.

All MSB first year students take a full year of Accounting and a semester of International Business. These are the only business courses taken in the first year. Additionally, students must complete the math requirement, Calculus I, during the first year.  To complete their schedule, students will select from liberal arts courses in humanities and writing, history, government, philosophy, psychology, sociology, theology, classics, and foreign languages.
