The interactive courses also enable faculty to share their research in a particular area with students. It is intended for firstyear students only. Discovery courses cover a wide range of disciplines and enrollment is limited to a maximum of nineteen students per section. Some Discovery courses can be used to satisfy General Education requirements or requirements in a major, while others are electives. Students should only enroll in one Discovery course.
