Features of Seminars Beyond the Legacy
200 Level Seminars
- A cross-cultural examination of other legacies and world views: Women, Africa, the Far East, the Americas, Medieval Europe, and the origins of mathematics and science.
- Interdisciplinary explorations of specific topics with an emphasis on developing and strengthening skills important to success in Honors and undergraduate education, including oral and written communication skills, reading skills, critical and creative thinking, etc.
300 Level Seminars
- Interdisciplinary explorations of specific topics designed to demonstrate the interconnectedness of academic disciplines. Recent seminars have focused on the significance of gender in myth and literature, bio-medical ethics, the nature and politics of nuclear energy, the origins of prejudice, arts across cultures, the existential imagination, and cross-cultural communication.
400 Level Seminars
- Inquiry and investigation of intellectual currents. 400-level seminars will be explorations of topics that are more in-depth than that of lower-level seminars, and students will have greater roles and responsibilities. These seminars can afford the opportunity for enthusiastic and ambitious students to produce a publishable paper or a coordinate collaborative mini-conference.
