Knowledge & Community
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.
