1st & 2nd Year Selectives

Share this

The First and Second Year Selective Program is a seven-week (or equivalent) course on a variety of topics (see links below).

Please Note:

  • Once you have been assigned to a Selective, you will be expected to complete the requirements as given by the course chair
  • The completion of at least one Selective with a grade of Pass is required before the end of second year
  • Students may enroll in a maximum of two Selectives per academic year

 

Selective Courses for 2018-19

The majority of selective courses are seven weeks in length and are taught in small groups (Optimum group size requirements may be stipulated by the course chairs). The offerings focus on specialized topics which can be viewed below. Instruction methods and schedules vary by Selective (see descriptions for details). Not all of the Selectives meet every week, but instead some are longitudinal and meet throughout the academic year. All selectives that are not longitudinal should have at least 7 sessions.

Spring 2019 Semester

Primary Semester Dates consists of 7 Sessions for Spring:  1/7/2019, 1/14/2019, 1/28/2019, 2/4/2019, 2/11/2019, 3/4.2019, 3/18, 2019
