Seminar requirement

I'm confused as to how I can fulfill the required seminar course I was planning on taking
BIO 26L
Writing 20
Chem 21 & 22L
and I'm not sure what to take for the fourth seminar course. does anyone have any suggestions considering my interest in science/premed?

i think you are supposed to take your freshman seminar the opposite semester from writing 20.
go here to see the freshman seminars:
Arts & Sciences and Trinity College - Duke University : Undergraduates : 49s Freshman Seminars

there are a lot of biology and other science ones

In addition to science and freshmen seminars, if you are at least intermediate-level in a foreign language and want to fulfill foreign language requirement, many 100-level foreign language classes are seminars.

If not, I highly suggest taking an interesting, easy freshmen seminar.

floridastudent: suggestions in terms of languages or first year seminars?

For language, I only know that Chinese 170/171 and 181/182 are pretty easy if you are a native speaker.

As for first year seminars, look into culanth 49S, or Psych 49S, or one of the intro music classes (like Music 49S) if you like that. Be sure to check out the prof ratings on ratemyprofessors.com if they are on there. beyond that, I don't think of much else.
