The Joe Berg Seminars
Jacksonville, Florida
The Joe Berg Seminars of Jacksonville is a prestigious academic seminar series
which offers twelve seminars yearly between September and May in each
of the Humanities and Sciences. Membership extends from the middle of
the Sophomore year to the middle of the Senior year. Seminars are held
at the Museum of Science and History unless the group is on a field trip.
Speakers are college professors and professionals from our community who
want to share their fields with outstanding high schools students.
In the fall of their Sophomore year, potential Joe Berg participants are
nominated by their high school teachers and guidance counselors based
upon their GPA and demonstrated interest in enrichment. These nominees
sit for a rigorous examination in either the sciences or humanities. The
Seminars admit about 50 students from roughly fifteen public and private
Jacksonville high schools into each series each year. The Joe Berg Graduation
ceremony is held in the middle of the students' Senior year. These graduates
have participated in twenty-seven to thirty-six hours of college level
lecture and discussion.
