SHC - Undergraduate

Requirements

Minor field in SHC (7 units): In consultation with a faculty adviser, students develop their own coherent theme that ties together their choice of seven courses. Students prepare a brief statement explaining their theme (see "Themes" section), which they submit with a formal application to the Office of Studies in the fall of their senior year. Students must take at least one 300-level seminar, and may double count no more than two courses toward their major.

Themes: Students in both the adjunct major and the minor are expected to have some thematic interest which guides them through their studies in SHC. A theme is not rigidly defined and not every course must fit the theme precisely; but students will need to demonstrate that the majority of their courses form a coherent program. Examples of themes are given below, along with relevant courses. But students are always free to come up with their own theme, in consultation with a faculty advisor.
