Posted by admin on October 11, 2006 in Academics

UB’s Freshman Seminar Discovery Program offers a small class experience for first-year students, providing them with the opportunity to engage with a distinguished faculty member around a thought-provoking and challenging topic. The goal of this course is to help new students:

  • Explore a topic in depth in a comfortable, small group setting
  • Get to know an outstanding faculty member who loves teaching undergraduates
  • Try out an unfamiliar subject in an environment conducive to exploration and discovery
  • Understand the academic challenges and rewards of attending a research university
  • Improve skills in critical thinking and in oral and written expression

Each semester, different faculty members offer seminars on exciting, unique topics.
