UCSB also offers Discovery Seminars. Discover @ UCSB Seminars are small group courses that facilitate student-faculty contact, promote valuable intellectual discourse in a small group setting, and allow students to explore subjects outside of their majors without affecting their grade-point averages. They are open to all eligible freshman and transfer students from any campus colleg or major.
