In March 2006, Holy Cross voted to implement a universal program for all first-year students.[7] In an effort to extend these favorable results, the college expanded FYP from the 150-student program to the Montserrat Program which includes all first-year Holy Cross students. Through Montserrat, the college hopes that "Placing new students into high-level courses that grapple with big-picture ideas, the college hopes, will promote self-discovery and reflections about what makes a life well-lived."[2] Like in the First Year Program, the college emphasizes better living through education and reflection through Montserrat.
