What is a Seminar?

As part of the Science Career Pathways Program, students will have the opportunity to take seminar courses.  These seminars will have a duration of nine weeks (or one academic quarter).  Students can either take two seminars in one semester or take one seminar and one (nine week) job shadow, internship, or apprenticeship within the same semester.  These seminars will afford students the opportunity to sample more science fields to aid in their decision making about where they would like to proceed following high school.
