DISCOVERY SEMINARS

Discovery Seminars are intensive, 5-credit, month-long classes designed to meet the needs of incoming freshmen. Emphasizing interdisciplinary study, focused inquiry and writing, Discovery Seminars give you the chance to jumpstart your freshman experience the month before autumn quarter begins. Discovery Seminar professors have worked to establish shared, stimulating goals and strategies for these special classes. The intense interaction provides both a sense of belonging and responsibility as you take on the new rigors and opportunities of your university experience.
