DESCRIPTION

Seventh College is one of the UC San Diego’s undergraduate colleges. The College’s theme, “A
Changing Planet”, encompasses a broad range of pressing global issues such as the climate crisis, mass migration, and rapid cultural and
technological change. The goal of Seventh College is to help students acquire the skills needed to confront these challenges. Building upon
their expertise in their major field of study, students are encouraged to approach large-scale, global problems from an interdisciplinary
perspective and are given numerous opportunities to gain critical academic and job market skills through project-based learning and
research. The staff provide programs and services that support this academic mission by enhancing the educational, personal, cultural, and
social development of students.

The Seventh College Synthesis Program is Seventh College’s core academic program. It is required for
all Seventh College students and enrolls roughly 3,500 per year. From both a pedagogical and administrative standpoint, the Synthesis
Program functions as two interconnected programs in one. The first program is a two-course writing-intensive sequence that asks students to
deconstruct the tools of academic and public discourse in order to form strategies for addressing the planet’s intersecting local and global
ecological, socioeconomic, and political changes. The second program is a collection of 40-45 unique upper-division project-based courses,
each with its own instructor and theme, offered under the umbrella of Synthesis 100 in collaboration with a broad range of campus and
community partners. Students in the varied offerings of Synthesis 100 work in interdisciplinary teams to carry out a diverse array of
self-directed projects each aimed at addressing a different challenge posed by our changing planet. Collectively the Synthesis Program
courses satisfy the University of California writing requirements for undergraduates and ensure that Seventh College students learn the
skills needed to be engaged citizens on a changing planet.

College Synthesis Program is responsible for the coordination, planning, and execution of the Program’s quarterly signature events, as well
