First-Year Composition (FYC) refers to a foundational writing course or sequence of courses typically required during the first year of undergraduate study in U.S. colleges and universities. Its primary goal is to develop students’ academic literacy, rhetorical awareness, and critical thinking through instruction in writing processes, genre conventions, and audience adaptation. FYC courses often emphasize revision, reflection, and the transfer of writing knowledge across contexts, preparing students for the diverse communicative demands of college-level coursework and beyond.
