Sophomore Seminars

It’s a good idea to choose some small classes so that you have chances to express your ideas and respond to others’. 

In 2013–2014, seminars limited to, or with preference given to, sophomores and freshmen include those below. Some  are designed for both freshmen and sophomores, and one is for sophomores only. 

In addition, although places in upper-level seminars are often given first to students in the major — who are usually juniors or seniors — don’t hesitate to try for a place in a seminar that interests you. Just keep in mind as you plan your course schedule that you cannot count on finding a place in an upper-level seminar. Make sure you have a backup plan.

Lastly, some departments have a fall-term deadline to register for seminars in the spring and a spring-term deadline to register for seminars in the fall. Check with the DUS or the departmental Web site for deadlines.
