What are Byrne Family First-Year Seminars?
Byrne Family First-Year Seminars are small, 1-credit, elective courses designed and taught by distinguished Rutgers faculty members. With class size limited to 20 students, the atmosphere is intimate, dynamic, and collaborative. These seminars introduce first-year students to the heart of Rutgers as a research university. Learning together through engaged dialogue and inquiry, students and faculty investigate new intellectual territory, with plenty of space for curiosity, imagination, and discovery. Small classes offer opportunities to find friends and to enlarge the mind. Additional information is available at the Byrne Family First-Year Seminars website.
