The Seminar incorporates a group of 10-12 students involved in extensive reading and writing on topics related to their individual areas of interest. Recent topics have included such subjects as racism and the media, women and employment, community building, and political campaigns. The Internship allows students to spend 16-20 hours a week working in and studying a city agency or organization in a wide range of possible placements, including the public defender's office, public television, state and local election campaigns, and youth centers. In the Independent Study Project, students utilize the resources of the city to explore a topic of interest that has grown out of the other components of the program. Numerous field trips are scheduled.
