Scribner Seminar Program
Seminar Title 2011-12


Below is an section listing of the Scribner Seminars offered in Fall 2011. Descriptions of the seminars are linked to the titles, and the number to the left is the section number of the course; during registration, these numbers distinguish each seminar within the SSP 100 class listing.*

Please keep in mind that some Scribner Seminars may have a class time or 4th credit hour session in the late afternoon or early evening. ** If you are majoring in Biology, Environmental Studies, or Theater or are on the Pre-Med Track, please review the Course Conflict Sheet before selecting your 10 choices.  Fall athletes should be sure to review the Athletics Conflict Sheet to select Seminars that will not conflict with practice schedules.
