LAR 101 - Liberal Arts Seminar (3)


The Liberal Arts Seminar is a course designed to introduce students to college-level writing, discussion, critical thinking, and critical reading. Students learn library research skills, learn to work collaboratively, and gain an appreciation for multiple perspectives. Interdisciplinary course content is selected by each faculty member teaching a seminar. Students reflect on a common book and use a common writing style manual. All first-year students are required to enroll in a liberal arts seminar. As a result of this course, each student will: 1) improve oral and written communication skills, library and research skills, critical reading, and critical thinking; 2) work with others constructively and ethically.
