The Byrne Seminars

Welcome!

Highlights

Autism & (Neuro) Diversity

Dr. Temple Grandin will speak at Rutgers on December 1st at 8:00 p.m. on "Animals Make Us Human."

The Byrne Family First-Year Seminar Program connects first-year students to prominent professors right from the beginning of their adventure at Rutgers. Designed to welcome you to a freedom of learning, the seminars have no letter grades and no formal exams. These seminars are small, one-credit courses, limited to 20 students. Seminars typically meet for 10 weeks, starting in the SECOND WEEK of each semester.

Byrne Seminars offer you the chance to experience the excitement of original research as full-time faculty members share their curiosity, their intellectual passion, and how they develop new ideas and fields of knowledge. You, in turn, can test your ideas and learn from others in lively discussions. Find your special interest or explore majors you may not have considered! Some seminars also travel to New York City and Philadelphia museums and events, share meals, or visit sites around New Jersey. You may register for a one-credit seminar in addition to the 12-15 credit standard course-load; the seminars are not meant to compete with your other classes.
