Freshman SeminarsOffice of the Senior Vice Chancellor—Academic Affairs Freshman Seminars are designed to provide new students with the opportunity to explore an intellectual topic with a faculty member in a small seminar setting. Freshman seminars are offered in all campus departments, in many undergraduate colleges and academic programs, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and The Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies. Topics vary from quarter to quarter. Enrollment is limited to twenty students, with preference given to entering freshmen. Freshman Seminars are specially designated by courses that are numbered 87, e.g., Phys. 87. The Freshman Seminar Web site at http://academicaffairs.ucsd.edu/freshmanseminars.html can be visited for a description of seminars currently offered. This site also contains important information such as enrollment procedures for freshmen with advanced standing, limitations on the number of seminars that may be taken, etc. Questions about a specific Freshman Seminar should be directed to the department offering the seminar.
