Freshman Seminars |
|
|
Freshman Seminars are small, interactive courses designed to introduce first-year students to thought-provoking, challenging, and interesting subjects. The topics are quite diverse ranging from African history expressed through dance, to Zines and DO-IT Yourself Democracy, and Theories of Leadership taught by the president of the university. These courses develop writing, speaking, and critical-reasoning skills in addition to providing faculty guidance and peer interaction. Freshman Seminars are offered each term and are open to all incoming students in their first year of university or college study. Students can enroll in a Freshman Seminar once they have met with an academic adviser during orientation. Registration occurs through DUCK WEB, the UO's computer registration system. Students may enroll for winter and spring seminars during the registration periods for those terms. Students are welcome to take more than one seminar throughout the year. Please remember space is limited and enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Ineligible students who have registered for Freshman Seminars are administratively dropped from the seminars. Freshman Seminars are generally three-credit courses. Students may take Freshman Seminars for graded or pass/no pass credit. Credits earned in all courses are elective and apply toward credits needed for graduation but not necessarily toward major requirements. Questions regarding credits toward the major should be addressed to the major department.
