Program Overview

Freshman Seminar Program

The Freshman Seminar Program at UNCG began in 1989 and is comprised of a series of courses only offered for freshman students.

Program Details

The seminars are small discussion classes taught by faculty selected for their commitment and interest in undergraduate teaching.

• The seminars have no prerequisites and do not presume any special knowledge about the topics to be covered.
• The seminars emphasize class discussion, critical reading of original literature (rather than textbooks), and practice in writing and argument.
• The classes also fulfill a student's general education requirements.
• Classes range from writing about technology to the history and art of animation to environmental issues and politics.
