The College of Letters and Science Knowledge
and Community Seminar will help you expand your intellectual interests,
improve your thinking and communication skills and enjoy conversation
in a community of learners. This course is different from nearly any
other course you are likely to take at MSU. It is small, it approaches
the subject matter from multi-disciplinary perspectives, and it gives
you an opportunity to work closely with a faculty member and other
students. The course is designed to engage you in university life and
college-level learning through reading, thinking and dialogue.
CLS 101US
is open only to first-year students. Students who have completed 30
credits must enroll in CLS 201US or COM 110US. CLS 101US
and CLS 201US are NOT repeatable. Students will not
receive credit for CLS 201US if they have passed CLS 101US with a grade
of C- or better.
Students: We are currently recruiting student fellows for Spring Semester 2010. Student fellows are paired
with a faculty member and co-facilitate the course. They will be
enrolled in CLS 460: Teaching Internship, a 2 or 3 credit upper
division course for teaching, and will have the option of taking a 1
credit independent study course (CLS 470). This is an
excellent opportunity for students to gain teaching experience in a
seminar-style course and may be especially valuable to students in
teaching majors or students seeking administration to graduate school
with teaching assistantships.
Successful applicants will have
·the ability to work
well with first-year students
·maturity,
responsibility, and commitment to learning
·an interest in a
variety of disciplines and perspectives
·GPA of 3.0 or above
Applications are available online or in the L&S Dean’s
Office, 2-205 Wilson Hall, and are due November 31st.
