Frequently Asked Questions

question match your criteria

Can I take only one semester of a Perspectives course?

No. Perspectives courses are designed to be year-long courses, and to earn core credits in literature, art and mathematics, you must complete both semesters of the course, preferably with the same professor. 然而, after consultation with the leadership of the program, it may be possible to take semesters out of order, or have a gap year between the parts of a course. 然而,在新科学愿景的情况下,学期必须按顺序进行. 中途被迫放弃课程的学生将被分配学分, 在与展望项目管理部门和相关部门协商后.
