Course Spotlight
In your junior or senior year, you may take a seminar taught by a team of professors. For example, in a course on women’s rights, a professor of gender studies might team up with a professor of U.S. politics. In this class, you’d explore a range of theories on how gender and power are related. Seminars are usually small, leading to lively discussion. Expect to take on a major research project.
