What is First Class?
First Class is an initiative offering learning communities designed specifically for Armstrong’s first-year students to help them strengthen their abilities to answer questions, solve problems, and advocate for themselves. How?

Each First Class learning community consists of a core course paired with a one-credit-hour first-year seminar. In each learning community, students will get to know their classmates, while at the same time learning common sets of skills:
-
Study skills
-
Time management
-
Knowledge of campus resources
-
Clear communications skills
-
Information literacy skills
Students will apply the skills they learn in the first-year seminar to the concepts they’re learning in the core curriculum. As a result, they will be better prepared to solve problems independently, allowing them to be more successful in college and
beyond.
