The Topics Program introduces students to the way scholars from different distribution areas
frame questions, propose answers, and assess the validity of competing approaches. Writing
and related skills are stressed. Students can use COLL E103 or S103 to satisfy one course in the
Arts and Humanities distribution area, COLL E104 or S104 to satisfy one course in the Social and
Historical Studies distribution area, and COLL E105 or S105 to satisfy one course in the Natural
and Mathematical Sciences distribution area. Other Topics-qualified courses are offered with
departmental headings and with distribution credit as indicated. For updates, please see the
College Web site at www.indiana.edu/~college/undergrad/topics. Topics-qualified courses are
offered only in the College of Arts and Sciences on the Indiana University Bloomington campus.
Freshman Seminars (COLL S103, S104, S105) are open to freshmen only. Each seminar is limited
to 20 students.
