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
