Interested in checking out courses in a specific area, but unsure where to start? Frosh-Friendly Courses are selected by their departments as excellent opportunities for students to learn more about a field, department, or program.  These courses are intended for beginners, and have few (if any) prerequisites. And while we call them "frosh-friendly," they are also great ways for sophomores, juniors, and even seniors to start learning about a new field!
