Our ten-week terms retain the depth of semesters but encourage greater breadth. Weinberg College students take, for credit, many courses in the professional schools of education, engineering, journalism, music, and speech. Faculty in the Kellogg Graduate School of Management offer courses in accounting, finance, and marketing especially for Weinberg College students. The University's Center for the Writing Arts provides a rich array of special offerings, including undergraduate courses taught by distinguished visiting writers and lectures open to the entire campus community. Professors often take advantage of Chicago to enrich their courses, so that if you are studying King Lear, you can go see the play performed at the Shakespeare Repertory Theatre at Chicago's Navy Pier, as students are doing this winter quarter.
Superior teaching is recognized and rewarded.
Students evaluate courses and those assessments are part of each faculty member's performance evaluation for raises in salary and promotion. Nine College faculty members occupy professorial chairs expressly honoring excellence in teaching.
