SEEK Department > SEEK Freshman Year Learning Community Program
SEEK Freshman Year Learning Community Program
This program is designed for SEEK freshmen who have entered Brooklyn College but have not yet
demonstrated competency on the CUNY basic skills assessment tests in reading, writing and
mathematics. This program of college-level courses is designed to prepare students for the
challenges of Brooklyn College's renowned core curriculum. Designed and revised under three
U.S. Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE)
projects, this program is a national leader among innovative programs for students admitted
through opportunity programs.
Students enroll in critical inquiry courses that emphasize reading, writing and/or mathematics
skills. Cultural field trips including theater and museum visits, counseling sessions, and
tutoring are an integral part of the program. In the fall semester, students still in need of
more preparation join a block program or learning community in which they take college-level
compensatory courses designed to prepare them for Brooklyn College's core curriculum. Courses
include Textual Analysis I, Written Textual Analysis I, Oral Textual Analysis I, a social science
or humanities course, counseling workshop, and a mathematics course. The pre-core curriculum
continues in the spring for those students for whom it is appropriate. A post-freshman summer
experience is also available.
