The College's undergraduate curriculum provides for a core program of four 
courses, including a variable content seminar for beginning freshmen and a 
three-course sequence in the Heritage of Western Culture; an exploratory 
dimension of eight courses in different fields of study or modes of intellectual 
inquiry; and possible majors in 26 disciplines or interdisciplinary subject

Spring Terms and a 4-week January Term. During the interim term, students are

experiential learning that often involves international travel. A modest summer

endowments provide generous funds to support faculty in career development 
projects and in activities that enhance the College's academic program. Faculty 
are eligible every seven years to apply for sabbatical leaves at fullpay for one
