Social Science Seminars

The Social Science Education Center at Weber State University offers general education credit at no cost to you as an educator. This is a two-credit-hour history/social science seminar.

We will offer these seminars every semester with a different topic each semester (summer seminars will be a two-week-long condensed session and meet from 9 a.m.-noon). You can repeat these workshops as many times as you’d like.  Fall and spring semester seminars will be on Wednesday evenings from 4:15 p.m.-6:45 p.m. on Weber State's main campus.
