91ÊÓƵ

The mission of seminars is to develop essential skills, to encourage a dynamic relationship with learning, and to advise and support learners at 91ÊÓƵ. Seminars offer challenging and personalized learning experiences. Seminar instructors also serve as academic advisors and mentors, helping learners to better navigate their many choices at  91ÊÓƵ.

Instructors design seminars around an inquiry theme. Whether that theme links to the arts and humanities, the social sciences or the sciences (and most themes are highly interdisciplinary), all seminars aim for interactive conversation about important questions. Seminars offer the supportive space to practice writing, speaking, thinking, reading, and researching – the skills learners will use at 91ÊÓƵ and beyond. This is what a smaller university is all about – belonging to a group of peers, interacting in small learning environments, and discovering new ideas with instructors who are passionate about their work.
