INSPIRE 1A03 is comprised of one (1) core class component and nine (9) modules.

The core class allows for a centralized learning opportunity for all INSPIRE 1A03 students to discuss interdisciplinary topics, the history and future of Hamilton communities and explore questions surrounding University student life.  The interdisciplinary topics for the core class will vary from year to year.

Students choose three (3) modules from a suite of nine (9) offerings that can occur in studio, workshops, lab and field experiences, both on and off campus, allowing the course to be geared towards their interest. During these modules students may participate in research seminars and hear the latest of what McMaster researchers are doing or participate in experiential learning opportunities in areas that you may be interested in but may have never taken in your home program.

The topic of these modules will vary from year to year but they are open to all students from across campus with no pre-requisite knowledge.

*This course was not offered in 2025 or 2026.
