Freshman Seminar Program
The Freshman Seminar program offers first-year students the opportunity to enroll in small classes with some of Yale's most eminent faculty members. Roughly forty-five freshman seminars across a wide range of subjects are offered every year, in both fall and spring terms. Some seminars provide an introduction to a particular field of study; others take an interdisciplinary approach to a variety of topics. Whatever the subject and method of instruction, all seminars are designed with freshmen in mind and provide a context for developing relationships with faculty members and peers.
Current seminar offerings are listed in chapter III. The Freshman Handbook, mailed in May to all students who plan to matriculate at Yale, describes the program and explains the application procedure. Further information is available on the freshman Web site.
