Fiat Lux for students

Exchanging and exploring ideas is a skill acquired only through practice. At UCLA, the Fiat Lux Freshman Seminars provide valuable forums for students and faculty to engage in critical thinking together.

Beginning in Fall 2002, Fiat Lux began offering new one-unit seminar courses for freshmen students. The seminars are taught by faculty in their fields of expertise and span the rich array of disciplines studied at UCLA. Lower division students will explore topics of intellectual importance and participate in critical discussion of these topics with a small group of peers and faculty. Enrollment is limited to allow students close contact with the instructor. Grading will be P/NP and valued at one unit of course credit.
