Courses
Each student enrolls in a Subject Concentration and a Global Issues course to be taught for the duration of the program.
Subject Concentration courses include classes, laboratories, workshops and supervised individual study in a variety of areas which include (a) the physical and natural sciences, (b) the humanities, and (c) the social sciences. In the Subject Concentration, students engage in intensive work which includes both exposure to current theory and extensive “hands-on” experience or fieldwork.
Global Issues courses are the second component of the program and include classes, debates and guest speakers. The Global Issues courses are designed to give students the opportunity to think critically about the major global issues facing our increasingly interdependent world. Each course will approach many common global issues from different perspectives – political science, anthropology, geography, history, psychology, etc.

Famous quotes containing the word courses:
“All the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
