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.
