College(Interdeptmnt) Courses 110 - Science in the World

This seminar is designed for students who have transferred to Mount Holyoke to pursue a major in the sciences or mathematics. Through it, we connect you to people and resources that will help you fully engage in the sciences at Mount Holyoke. We will study an interdisciplinary science topic (the biology of stress), use the primary literature as a text, and gain practice with writing. You will learn some of the common expectations of upper-level science courses and find out about resources to help you succeed. In addition, you will gain practice assessing and articulating your skills as we walk through finding and applying for a science or math internship.
