The alternative offerings mean that either one of the two courses will be offered, depending where the student begins in the regularly alternating cycle of courses. Lectures and seminars take place in the late afternoons. A detailed schedule is available at the beginning of each semester. The program consists of individual reading and investigation, work with a tutor, seminars with fellow students, and formal courses team-taught by members of many different departments.
Students often supplement our offerings with courses from other departments.
What follows is intended to give a sense of what can be done in the program, not a precise statement of the details of each course. Much of what happens depends on the availability of instructors and on the initiative of students, both individually and as a group. There is also a public seminar series organized by students.
