Why Core Pathways?
Purposeful
Climate change and the interactions between humanity and technology pose two of the major existential threats of our era. The primacy of these challenges calls us to respond to their dangers and complexities with urgency and purpose. The Core Pathway gives you the chance to rise to these challenges together with mentors and peers.
Interdisciplinary
The complexity of both climate change and the intersection of humanity and technology invite us to address their causes and consequences through concerted methods of inquiry. This rich collection of interdisciplinary offerings from Environmental Sciences, History, Humanities, Philosophy, Cognitive Neuroscience, Writing, and Theology will allow you to do just that.
Self-Directed
The Core Pathway offers you a space to navigate your core and elective requirements with autonomy and flexibility. Fulfill two core requirements; one core requirement and one elective requirement; or two elective requirements.
Each module will be 1.5 credits. Students can take up to four distinct 7-week modules in a single year. In order to ensure engagement with interdisciplinarity, students will take modules from different disciplines in the same semester. By taking two 1.5 credit modules in the same discipline, students will satisfy core requirements. Students may also combine two 1.5 credit modules from different disciplines as a 3-credit interdisciplinary elective and full-course equivalent.
All Core Pathway on Climate Change courses will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:00 PM-3:15 PM.
All Core Pathway on Technology & Justice courses will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30 PM-4:45 PM.
