Freshman Discovery Seminar Program
Click here for Spring 2008 Offerings
UCR is pleased to participate in the Freshman Discovery Seminar Program. The purpose of the Discovery Seminars is to:
|
- Engage freshmen in a highly interactive classroom experience led by ladder-rank faculty.
- Expose students to new and unfamiliar fields of study.
- Create close contacts with professors and future mentors.
|
 |
Faculty from all units on campus are encouraged to submit a course proposal by submitting a simple application on-line. Our intention is to provide this opportunity to all freshman students who would like to take part in a course of this nature by offering approximately 30 courses per quarter on a variety of topics.
The seminars will be taught as sections of the college-level First-Year Seminar courses (ENGR/HASS/NASC 092). Preference for enrollment will be given to freshmen; sophomores may enroll on a space-available basis. Seminars will be limited to twenty students, and they will meet at least ten hours during the quarter. Grading will be S/NC, valued at one unit of course credit.
