"Beyond the Classroom" Seminars

equity and inclusionMuch of what you will learn in college will be learned in settings outside the classroom. The campus, the Bay Area, and the surrounding landscape are all rich with potential learning opportunities. If you are new to Berkeley, or just new to the Berkeley campus, what better way to explore the libraries, museums, science labs, and geographical features of your new home than to take a Beyond the Classroom seminar this spring?
