Interdisciplinary seminars are held every semester under the direction of the Scholar Council. They are team taught and meet Tuesdays at noon. Each seminar carries one hour of credit [1/4 unit] for which no additional tuition is required. Grades are "A" or "F;" however students who are not participating satisfactorily will be encouraged to withdraw rather than receive an "F." The seminars include lectures, small group discussions, presentations by Scholars, and assigned readings.
