INTD 111 - Welcome to Macalester/College

What is college for? How does it differ from high school? What are the liberal arts? What are grades? How should I think about general education requirements? What is a major? What resources are available at Mac and how do students use them? How do I take care of myself and others? How do I make the most of Macalester for my goals and needs? Designed to be taken alongside a First-Year Seminar, this course will offer students the opportunity to hear from staff and faculty across campus as they answer these and other questions in their own way. Welcome to Macalester/College is a 2-credit course that meets one evening a week for 1.5 hours; the course is graded pass/fail based on attendance and participation at panels, talks and discussion sections. Offered occasionally. (2 Credits)
