- Letters and Science 1
Letters and Science 1 is a course for entering students, particularly those who are uncertain of where to start their explorations and would like an introduction to the intellectual landscape of the College of Letters & Science, the campus's liberal arts college. Topics will be both theoretical and practical: for example, you'll learn why the L&S breadth requirement exists and also get a good sense of which disciplines would be most engaging for you to pursue while satisfying breadth.
