Course Overview

1 credit, A-F

A highly interactive experience, UMD Seminar has been developed to help incoming students ease the transition to life as a member of the UMD community. This course covers a wide range of topics common to the "freshman experience": students will explore and become familiar with University resources and technology, academic and time management strategies, career/major exploration, and avenues leading to personal and academic success.
