SP TOP: INTEGRATIVE SEM
Designed primarily for majors (but open to adequately prepared
non-majors), Integrative Seminars have a defined thematic focus and
limited enrollment to allow for intensive discussions and collaborative
learning. Students may take more than one Integrative Seminar, but a
course counted towards the Integrative Seminar requirement for the
American Studies major may not also count towards the major's cluster.
