Senior Perspectives, known as SRIA, or Science, Revolution, Ideology and the Arts, delves deeper into the fabric of Western culture and deals more with modernism and the scientific revolution. It also has supplementary science courses, like Ecology, Methods in Chemical Research, Topics in Physics and Biodiversity. All are going to be taught by Perspectives faculty and will be tied together in senior seminars. Although the program offers a rich exploration of Western civilization, it does not deal with anything outside the Western tradition. But I do think that it would be extremely instructive to compare the Western approach to nature and the non-Western within the program.
Students take a similar view.
There are plans for the future for Perspectives to grow into teaching a more holistic world view.
