AG 1011: Seminar is the freshmen seminar course for students in the Ferguson College of Agriculture. The class meets during the first eight weeks of the fall semester. The course is required of all freshmen students in our college and addresses methods of study, the faculty advisement system, organization of curriculum, discussion of requirements and career opportunities in various fields of agriculture, and more.

The course is taught by Dr. Deborah VanOverbeke, Ferguson College of Agriculture Assistant Dean of Academic Programs. In addition, students are facilitated through the course by AG 1011 Student Academic Mentors (AG 1011 SAMs). These students mentor a small group of freshmen and assist with the transition into OSU and our college by answering questions and providing guidance from a student’s perspective.
