ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

Stevenson students are required to enroll in the core course two quarters of their first academic year. The course focuses on the relationship between the “self” and society, and offers students an interdisciplinary introduction to the diverse historical, cultural, and intellectual traditions and texts that led to the formation of modern society. Each week students meet two or three times in seminars to discuss regular reading and writing assignments. Skills in analytic thinking, writing, and speaking are emphasized.
