First-Year Seminar

The First Year Seminar allows you to become a member of your new community in a dynamic environment and to experience intellectual life at the university level. Taught by professors with a passion for the subject and a passion for teaching, these courses are designed to encourage exploration of new ideas, examine a range of academic topics, challenge you to set high goals for your academic career, and promote a lifelong love of learning.

First Year Seminars count as a core Liberal Studies requirement for all degree programs, you can see the courses offered in the Course Catalog. Many seminars can be offered for Honor's credit with an individual contract. Please talk to your advisor and instructor if you would like to pursue this option.
