First-year seminars are an excellent introduction to academic life and are highly recommended for first- or second-semester students.
The primary goal of the first-year seminar program is to provide every first-year student with the opportunity for a direct personal encounter with a faculty member in a small class setting devoted to a significant intellectual endeavor. First-year seminars also fulfill College General Education Requirements.
You can find first-year seminars in Path@Penn by going to the bottom of course search, choosing the "Course Attribute" drop down menu, and then typing in first-year seminar attribute "AUFS."
