Abstract :
The Faculty Seminar at North Dakota State University was created for the purpose of establishing team-taught interdisciplinary courses dealing with significant issues relating to both professional and liberal studies. During the first academic year (1991-92), the Seminar faculty identified interdisciplinary interests at the University and obtained suggested themes and outlines dealing with contemporary issues in areas such as freedom and responsibility, the environment, and the impact of technology. During the second and third years (1992-94), the Seminar has been and will be working on integration of multicultural concerns and international perspectives into the curricula of the University
