About the Seminars
University Seminars are a showcase of integrative learning at Arcadia designed to make intellectual connections among academic disciplines and between scholarly ideas and the world beyond the classroom. A wide range of University Seminars are offered each semester, and all University Seminars carry the Integrative Learning designation and help students fulfill their additional Integrative Learning Experience requirements. Many University Seminars are interdisciplinary courses where your Arcadia professors explore a dynamic world of ideas with you. University Seminars also take you out of the classroom and into the culturally and intellectually rich Philadelphia region. Taking University Seminars also helps you work toward fulfilling other Arcadia curriculum requirements. In addition to the Integrative Learning designation, all University Seminars fulfill at least one Area of Inquiry and at least one Intellectual Practice.
Please note, not all courses are offered every semester.
