First-Year Seminars
Welcome to the UC Davis First-Year Seminar Homepage.
From here you will find information about the history and development of our program, resources for faculty interested in teaching a first year seminar, an online application to submit a seminar proposal, as well as a list of current seminars and frequently asked questions for students and faculty (FAQ).
In addition, our special Features and Exemplars section will highlight the innovative work being done in some of our seminars. We have also included a directory of other helpful links related to first-year teaching and learning both at UC Davis and abroad. Thank you for visiting our site, we hope you find what you are looking for.
NOTE: At the beginning of each quarter, we are often asked if FRS class sizes can be increased. It is simply not possible to increase the enrollment beyond 19 students per class under any circumstances. We apologize for any disappointment this may cause; however, this is a firm rule.
