Freshman Seminars, UCOL 1022

Freshman students often find it reassuring to have assistance in making transition from high school to college. Experiences with new intellectual standards, new social relationships, and new responsibilities are challenging. Perhaps the biggest challenge is finding the necessary support to successfully make these adjustments.

Through a series of FRESHMAN SEMINARS, students have an opportunity to discover a unique support system while making a successful transition to college learning. Each seminar features exploration of a specific topic with an outstanding instructor and a mentor group.

FRESHMAN SEMINARS offer the following advantages:

  1. study of a topic of special interest to an outstanding professor who has a unique perspective on the subject and is enthusiastic about sharing knowledge with freshmen
  2. a small class (maximum enrollment is 25 students)
  3. personal interaction with an experienced and carefully selected professor
  4. an opportunity to learn how to succeed as a college student by "learning how to learn" about a particular field


Below is a list, followed by brief descriptions within topic area, of FRESHMAN SEMINARS. All FRESHMAN SEMINARS are 2-credit-hour, letter-graded electives. Your academic advisor can answer questions about seminars during enrollment, or you may call Freshman Programs at 405.325.3967 or email ldmiller@ou.edu.
