ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND CONCENTRATIONS
A program is a sequenced course of study designed by faculty
to focus on a particular area of knowledge or a particular approach to an area.
Each program establishes requirements for
Moderation, course work, and Senior Projects. The required courses can be either specifically
designed courses or menus of courses, and may be offered by the program or by other
programs. All students must establish their
major in a program and transition from the Lower College to the Upper College through
the process of Moderation, usually by the end of the sophomore year.
A concentration is an optional course of study consisting
of a cluster of related courses on a clearly defined topic. Concentrations may only be pursued in conjunction
with a primary program of study. To complete
a concentration, a student must moderate, fulfill all course requirements, and produce
a Senior Project that combines the interdisciplinary theories and methods of the
concentration with the disciplinary theories and methods of the program.
