N2 - First-Year experience (FYE) courses have become increasingly implemented in higher education institutions in recent years to help drive student retention. Although many of these FYE courses include library components, Mississippi State University (MSU) sought to have a library-centric FYE course; this study details the process MSU Libraries used to propose this FYE course. The goal of this case study is to provide practical information on the process of proposing a FYE course and to inspire other institutional libraries to consider implementing their own FYE course.
