Freshman Seminars

Freshman Seminars

First-year students at Connecticut College in a freshman seminar.

The topics can range from Socrates to spirituality, from nanotechnology to the search for life in the universe. Small, intensive and highly personalized, the freshman seminars expand the opportunities for you as a first-year student to engage intellectually with your peers and the faculty.

Within a specific course topic, each seminar teaches you to synthesize information, formulate arguments, write clearly, speak well and participate in discussion and debate. Class size is limited, to encourage interaction among students and between students and faculty.

The freshman seminars are designed to help you develop the critical skills of liberal arts education that freshmen need for success in college and beyond. The seminars also nurture the close student-faculty relationships that are a hallmark of the Connecticut College experience. View the 2009 Freshman Seminars listing on the online catalog
