Luther offers two programs which are open to any first-year U of R student. We arrange small groups of students into lively courses organised around a theme. Learning may also include hands-on experience and interaction within the larger community.
 
Interdisciplinary Studies Program – Global Citizenship

  • The Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) Program allows you to explore the issues that affect you and your world.
  • For Arts and Fine Arts students, and for those considering social work, human justice, international studies, justice studies, education, journalism, and some professional programs.

English & Science

  • We package your required English, biology and chemistry courses (and labs) together for easy registration. Your English courses focus on scientific themes in literature.
  • For biology and biochemistry majors and pre-professional science majors (pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-optometry).

What’s in it for me?

  • Easy registration – we’ll help you plan your courses.
  • Courses that meet your degree requirements.
  • Opportunities to make friends and meet people with common interests.
  • Instant study groups.
  • Small classes – you’ll get to know your professors and peers.
  • Volunteer work – easily transferable skills and great work experience.
  • The chance to develop a critical perspective that helps you succeed in future courses.
  • Opportunities to share ideas, test out theories, and collaborate on projects, all while getting to know one another -- and yourself -- better.
