Freshman Seminar Program
The Freshman Seminar program offers first-year students the opportunity to enroll in small classes with some of Yale's most distinguished faculty members. Roughly thirty 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 specifically with freshmen in mind and provide an intimate context for developing relationships with faculty members and peers. The number and the range of courses vary from year to year; current seminar offerings are listed in chapter IV. Students must apply and preregister for freshman seminars over the summer before freshman year. Registration information is available on the Freshman Seminar Web site.
