Seminars for the group study of topics not covered by regularly scheduled courses. Topics may vary from semester to semester.

First Year Experience is designed to help first-year students transition to university life at Cal. This course will provide an essential foundation for success in education, as well as personal, social, and professional development. Students will be exposed to a variety of tools designed to assist with the transition to and success in their first year and beyond. Emphasizing self-reflective and metacognitive learning throughout the semester, this course enables students to build a clearer picture of their own learning needs. In turn, students will make personal campus connections and gain familiarity with campus resources. As they learn to navigate the many resources at UC Berkeley, first-semester students will learn skills to make smooth transitions into Cal, empower themselves through personal, academic, and professional development, gain familiarity with campus and community resources and culture(s), and learn the skills necessary for self-advocacy and success.
