College Courses

The UCSC Colleges are based on a living and learning model. Not only do frosh live together in the residence halls, they also take the same seminar in their college during the fall quarter. In this way, all students within a college have a common learning experience. College Nine’s first-year seminar is Introduction to University Discourse: International and Global Issues. We hope that the course provides students with a thought-provoking introduction into some of the pressing issues in the world today. The course is also designed to help students develop important academic skills such as writing, studying, and reading.

In addition to the first-year seminar, we also offer some optional courses within the college. They include the Global Action (CLNI 85), Teaching Global Action (CLNI 191), Service Learning (CLTE 110 and 110B) which is a service learning class offered through John R. Lewis College that College Nine students may enroll in. For more information, visit Courses webpage.
