Stanford Introductory Seminars

Stanford Introductory Seminars have become some of the most popular undergraduate courses. With more than 100 seminars to choose from, the Seminars program gives every freshman and sophomore the opportunity to interact in small-group settings with some of the university's most interesting faculty members. Focused on a narrow topic, each class is limited to 16 students and allows underclassmen to sample upper-division work before declaring a major.
