RSP 100: An Introduction to the Culture of Collegiate Life
Within three undergraduate colleges, students will be introduced to Creighton University’s Ratio Studiorum or Plan of Study in this one-credit, letter-graded course. Led by a Faculty Preceptor and Decurion, the course will cover such topics as the Ratio Studiorum at Creighton, the value of a liberal arts education, academic and student integrity, obstacles to learning, and learning strategies. The students will read and discuss a book, selected by the Faculty Preceptor, that addresses self-exploration and self-discovery.

A Faculty Preceptor will teach the RSP 100 course and will also serve as the first-year student's academic advisor. This is in keeping with the original Ratio’s intention to provide a principal person in a student’s educational formation. A hallmark of Jesuit education is the cura personalis that the student will experience through this relationship.
A Decurion is a peer academic leader, nominated by a Faculty Preceptor, who provides opportunities for meaningful personal connections in the university setting and expands the awareness of effective study strategies. Together with the Faculty Preceptor, the Decurion will help students achieve the academic results that they desire.
A Beadle is an appointed leader-intern assigned to assist the Preceptor and Decurion with the RSP 100 course.
