Your UBC journey doesn’t end with graduation. In fact, it’s just the beginning. As you graduate, you become part of a global community of over 100,000 Arts alumni—100,000 potential mentors and friends; 100,000 stories; 100,000 lessons learned.

From helping to shape the syllabus and choosing readings, to leading class discussions, student directed seminars give you the opportunity to build your own learning experience while learning alongside your peers.

We reached out to three Arts profs — from the Social Justice Institute, the Chinese Language Program, and Philosophy — for their advice on what you can do to prepare for this semester and how you can succeed in learning online.
