The Freshman Seminar Program has been designed to provide new students with the opportunity to explore an intellectual topic with a faculty member in a small seminar setting. Freshman seminars are offered in all campus departments, and topics may vary from department to department and semester to semester. Enrollment limited to 15 freshmen.

Taught in English. This course will look at theories and studies of bureaucracy, and apply them to student experiences at UC Berkeley. We will attempt to understand how bureaucracy has been theorized, how it proliferates, and how it functions at our university. Students will do short readings and also journal about their experiences with university bureaucracy. They may also write short reports, including studies of university emails, websites, and offices; and may also conduct interviews with administrators to find out how bureaucracy is perceived by different stakeholders in the university.
