‌‌‌‌Summer 2019 Seminars

‌Fall 2019 Seminars

‌‌J-Term 2020 Seminars

Scholars register for most seminars the same as they would for any other course.  Experimental seminars are taught by one faculty member, are limited to 8 students, and students enrolled in the seminar must come from various majors.  Registration for experimental seminars is a manual process and students must receive approval from the instructor; students who wish to register for a seminar that has only one instructor must contact that instructor directly to receive authorization to enroll in the course.

These honors seminars will be offered in upcoming terms:
