Great Reasons to Take A Discovery Seminar

Whether it's learning about global warming, crime scene forensics or how to write your own autobiography, these intensive, five-credit, month-long classes are designed to smooth the transition between high school and college as well as give you a jump start on Autumn quarter.

Here are some reasons why you are going to love taking a Discovery Seminar:

• Take a lighter load during Autumn Quarter. The 5 credits you earn during the Discovery Seminar count toward Autumn Quarter, which means you only have to enroll in 10 credits to be considered a full-time student for fall term.
• Be ahead of the game. Unlike all of the other freshmen who will be adjusting to college life at the beginning of Autumn quarter, you will already know the shortest route to class, what college classes are like, and where to grab a cup of coffee.
• Explore your options. Did you know that UW offers over 140 majors? Discovery Seminars are the perfect opportunity for you to learn about a subject area you've considered as a major, or a topic you know nothing about.
• Build connections. With classes limited to 25 students, you have the chance to work closely with UW faculty as well as make friends with other incoming freshmen.
