The Advanced Humanities Seminar takes a multidisciplinary approach as an application based course that investigates real world issues and emphasizes research, collaboration, writing, and inquiry. This course will help support students’ understanding of research methodology as they evaluate issues from multiple perspectives, analyze arguments, develop their own questions for investigation, and work to produce solutions to real world issues. Students in this course need to be proficient writers and have already demonstrated mastery of the writing process. This course will lead into a research-based course in which students continue their exploration of a topic of interest. ASPIRE students who choose this course will be co-seated with STEM students.
