Simpson’s Liberal Arts Seminar (LAS) classes will be your introduction to what it means to attend a liberal arts college and to be liberally educated. When you register for your Liberal Arts Seminar you become part of a small (18 students) community of learners who, together with your professor and a student Destination Leader, will help you make the transition from high school to college, from living at home to living in a residence hall, from being dependent on others to becoming an independent adult. Your class will meet four times a week and your professor for this class will also become your academic advisor. He or she will not only introduce you to a particular college course but also to the various resources Simpson offers to develop the skills needed to succeed in college. These include academics, making wise decisions about sex and alcohol, and living with those who may be very different than you. Your Liberal Arts Seminar (LAS) will introduce you to the joys and challenges of learning with others in ways that fulfill your own desires as well as meeting the needs of others.
