Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Department of African American Studies (AAS) offers an undergraduate major in the study of the historic achievements and struggles of African-descended people in the United States and their relationship to African and African-descended people around the world. Drawing on methodologies from the humanities and social sciences and spanning areas of inquiry across different fields, the AAS major emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research and analysis to its scholarly mission.

+ +

Students in AAS are trained in the methods, themes and ideas that inform interdisciplinary scholarship, with a particular focus on race and racial inequality. The major allows students to focus their studies in one of three subfields:

+ +

African American Culture and Life (AACL)

+ +

Global Race and Ethnicity (GRE)

+ +

Race and Public Policy (RPP)

+ +

With a combination of courses and interdisciplinary research opportunities, students who complete the requirements for the AAS major are equipped with the analytical and research skills that are desirable in a range of professions. Majors are also highly qualified to pursue professional or graduate degrees in a number of fields.

+ +

For the final year, AAS also offers the certificate in African American Studies for students majoring in another department. Students may apply for formal admission to the certificate program at any time once they have taken and achieved satisfactory standing in any AAS course.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Coursework in AAS prepares students to conduct independent work in their junior and senior years. The goals for student learning through coursework and independent work are to

+ +
  • build a comprehensive base of knowledge of African-descended peoples in the United States and in the diaspora, and explore how this background facilitates a critical approach to dominant knowledge formations;
    • +
  • understand what interdisciplinary research and analysis entails in an educational context of disciplinary knowledge formation, and explain why interdisciplinarity is essential to the study of African-descended peoples in the United States and in the diaspora;
    • +
  • identify methodologies from the humanities and social sciences that may be applied to one’s area of inquiry, and propose how these methods might be revised or combined to address interdisciplinary research questions;
    • +
  • hone skills in primary-source research, analytical interpretation, critical thinking and ethical reasoning as components of interdisciplinary study in AAS; and 
    • +
  • demonstrate these skills through written and verbal communication, with the option of pursuing other means of communication such as performance, media-making and creative writing as they relate to the scholarly mission of AAS.
    • +

 

+
+
+

Admission to the Program

+

Prerequisite for entry into the AAS major is the successful completion on a graded basis of one course survey course. Course survey courses are identified in the program of study.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Majors are required to complete nine (9) courses: two (2) core survey courses, AAS 300 Junior Seminar: Research and Writing in African American Studies, and six (6) additional African American Studies courses. All majors are also required to participate in the senior colloquium.

+ +

Students complete two (2) core survey courses listed below.  At least one (1) of these must be a Pre-20th Century course. Students are strongly encouraged to complete both survey courses by the end of junior year.

+ +

Pre-20th Century

+ +
  • AAS 244 Introduction to Pre-20th Century Black Diaspora Art (Pre-20th Century)
    • +
  • AAS 353 African American Literature: Origins to 1910 (Pre-20th Century)
    • +
  • AAS 366 African American History to 1863 (Pre-20th Century)
    • +

 20th Century and Beyond

+ +
  • AAS 245 Introduction to 20th Century African American Art
    • +
  • AAS 359 African American Literature: Harlem Renaissance to Present
    • +
  • AAS 367 African American History Since Emancipation
    • +

At the end of their fall semester, juniors declare a subfield to pursue, choosing from the following:

+ +
  • African American Culture and Life (AACL)
    • +
  • Global Race and Ethnicity (GRE)
    • +
  • Race and Public Policy (RPP)
    • +

Four (4) courses must be taken in the chosen subfield, with two (2) additional courses as follows:

+ +
  • If the chosen subfield is AACL or RPP, then the two (2) additional courses must be selected from the GRE courses. 
    • +
  • If the chosen subfield is GRE, then one (1) must be an AACL course and one (1) must be an RPP course. 
    • +

Students are permitted to take up to two (2) approved cognate courses in other departments. See the department website(link is external) for the lists of courses and approved cognates by subfield. Majors will complete junior and senior independent work, participate in a senior colloquium and a departmental comprehensive oral examination based on feedback from the senior thesis.

+ +

With a combination of courses and interdisciplinary research opportunities, students who complete the African American Studies major will be equipped with the critical and analytical skills that will prepare them for a range of professions. They will be highly qualified to pursue graduate work in the field or its cognate disciplines and prepared to enter a society in which race continues to be salient.

+ +

Students who pursue the certificate in AAS must complete two core survey courses as listed above and three additional courses in AAS, cross-listed by AAS, or from our approved cognates list. Of these additional courses, one must be in the GRE subfield.

+
+
+

Departmental Tracks

+

The AAS Program of Study is organized into three thematic subfields. Majors can take courses in each subfield and choose one as a primary area of inquiry.

+ +
  1. African American Culture and Life (AACL): Students encounter the intellectual tradition and cultural practices that inform the emergence and development of African American Studies as a field of study in the academy. Focusing on aesthetic repertoires and historical dynamics situated primarily in the United States, students learn how to examine the patterns and practices that have defined and transformed Black people’s lives. Courses in the AACL subfield are typically cross-listed with English, History, Religion, and American Studies.
    2. +
  2. Race and Public Policy (RPP): Students deploy and interrogate social science methodologies to examine the workings of the American state apparatus and other social and political institutions. Fostering critical approaches to empirical research and analysis, students examine the formation and development of racial and ethnic identities in the United States, with a particular focus on different perceptions and measures of inequality. Courses in the RPP subfield are typically cross-listed with the School of Public and International Affairs, Sociology, and Politics.
    3. +
  3. Global Race and Ethnicity (GRE): Students take up comparative methodologies in studying inter- and intraracial group dynamics in a global frame. Comparison yields an understanding of the aesthetic repertoires and historical dynamics of African and African-descended people in the diaspora outside the United States, as well as non-African-descended people of color within the United States. Courses in the GRE subfield are typically cross-listed with Comparative Literature, Art & Archaeology, and African Studies.
    4. +
+
+
+

Independent Work

+

During the fall semester, junior majors enroll in AAS 300: Research and Writing in African American Studies. This course introduces students to the theories and methods of research design in the field of Black studies. During the spring semester, juniors conduct independent research and writing toward the completion of the junior paper (JP). Juniors work closely with a faculty adviser, who is assigned to them at the completion of AAS 300. The adviser assesses and assigns a grade for the JP at the end of the semester.

+ +

In senior year, majors are required to participate in the year-long senior colloquium, which provides a space for students to share ideas and gain feedback on their step-by-step plans for the senior thesis. The colloquium adviser helps students achieve departmental benchmarks for drafting their thesis, while individual faculty advisers address students’ field-specific questions and provide substantive feedback on drafts. A second reader is assigned to read the thesis at the end of the semester. The thesis adviser and second reader independently submit comments and suggest a grade. If the grades differ, then the adviser and second reader confer and collectively decide the final grade.

+
+
+

Additional Requirements

+

The senior comprehensive statement is completed after the senior thesis and has a dual purpose: to narrate the student’s scholarly development in AAS, and to describe any work beyond the classroom that reflects the student’s commitment to the intellectual, political and artistic traditions of Black studies as a field. The statement is consulted during the senior departmental examination and is used to help calculate honors in the major.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The senior departmental examination involves the senior thesis adviser and assigned second reader of the thesis. It consists of two parts: a 10-minute presentation articulating the thesis's main argument and responding to the readers’ reports assessing the work, and a discussion of the student’s independent work and course of study. Aspects of the senior comprehensive statement may be cited during the discussion part of the exam.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Students have the opportunity to study abroad in programs related to AAS for a semester, a year or a summer. In order for study abroad coursework to count toward the major, students must gain approval for their programs from the department. The director of undergraduate students reviews all requests and helps students identify which study abroad courses fit into AAS’s Program of Study.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

The Undergraduate Board of Advisers (UBA) acts as the voice for students in the department and plans events each semester. The UBA aims to integrate students into the intellectual life of the department beyond the classroom and offer input on curricular and programming matters. Students on the UBA serve as ambassadors for the department and provide a support network for all students who are enrolled in AAS courses.

Belcher + +
+ + + +

+ AAS 245 - Introduction to 20th-Century African American Art + (also ART 245) + + Fall + LA + +

+ +
+ This surveys history of African American art during the long 20th-century, from the individual striving of late 19th century to the unprecedented efflorescence of art and culture in 1920s Harlem; from the retrenchment in Black artistic production during the era of Great Depression, to the rise of racially conscious art inspired by the Civil Rights Movement; from the Black feminist art in the 1970s, to the age of American multiculturalism in the 1980s and 1990s; and finally to the turn of the present century when ambitious "postblack" artists challenge received notions of Black art and racial subjectivity. AAS Subfield: AACL, GRE + + C. Okeke-Agulu + +
+ + + +

+ AAS 262 - Jazz History: Many Sounds, Many Voices + (also MUS 262) + + Spring + LA + +

Using a wide variety of texts, images, and creative works, the course situates African American history within broader national and international contexts. AAS Subfield: AACL + + J. Guild + +
+ + + +

+ AAS 300 - Junior Seminar: Research and Writing in African American Studies + + Fall + SA + +

+ +
+ As a required course for AAS concentrators, this junior seminar introduces students to theories and methods of research design in African American Studies. Drawing on a wide-ranging methodological toolkit from the humanities and social sciences, students will learn to reflect on the ethical and political dimensions of original research in order to produce knowledge that is intellectually and socially engaged. This is a writing-intensive seminar with weekly essay assignments. + + R. Goldthree, T. Hunter + +
+ + + +

+ AAS 303 - Topics in Global Race and Ethnicity + (also GHP 313/GSS 406/HUM 347) + + Fall/Spring + HASA + +

+ +
+ This seminar uses the prevailing analytical tools and critical perspectives of African American Studies to consider comparative approaches to groups, broadly defined. Students will examine the intellectual traditions, socio-political contexts, expressive forms, and modes of belonging of people who are understood to share common boundaries/experiences as either (1) Africans and the African Diaspora outside of the United States; and/or (2) non-African-descended people of color within the United States. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ AAS 306 - Topics in Race and Public Policy + + Fall/Spring + CD + +

+ +
+ This seminar uses and interrogates social science methodologies in examining the condition of the American state and American institutions and practices.

+ Apartheid, the political doctrine of separation of races in South Africa (1948-1990), dominated the (South) African political discourse in the second half of the 20th century. While it lasted, art and visual cultures were marshaled in the defense and contestation of its ideologies. Since the end of Apartheid, artists, filmmakers, dramatists, and scholars continue to reexamine the legacies of Apartheid, and the social, philosophical, and political conditions of non-racialized South Africa. Course readings examine issues of race, nationalism and politics, art and visual culture, and social memory in South Africa. AAS Subfield: GRE + + C. Okeke-Agulu + +

A.B.
+
+ +

Anthropology is the study of human experience and social change. Through situated and relational methods, anthropology considers the ways people think, act and make sense of their lifeworlds against the backdrop of multiple structural forces and across intersecting domains and scales. Always in a deep interdisciplinary dialogue, the connections between ethnography, theory, social engagement and storytelling are a hallmark of anthropology.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The major in anthropology seeks to 

+ +
  • Train students in anthropological ways of knowing and empower them to deploy social theory and ethnography in their engagements with diverse lifeworlds and pressing societal issues in and out of the academy and workplace; 
    • +
  • Explore how anthropology emerged historically in the context of colonialism and imperialism and how it continues to evolve toward a decolonial humanistic discipline; 
    • +
  • Foreground anthropology’s situated and relational mode of evidence-making — ethnography — and its contributions to other critical perspectives in the social sciences and the humanities and to civic engagement; 
    • +
  • Introduce students to key subfields within anthropology (e.g., sociocultural, medical, legal, political-economic, environmental, science studies, visual) and core topics and concepts (e.g., ritual, kinship, gender, language, exchange, biocultural, psychosocial, multispecies, structural violence, race and racialization, colonialism/decolonization); 
    • +
  • Familiarize students with ethnographic theorizing and train them in the multimodal practices of fieldwork (e.g., participant observation, interviews, oral history, archival and big data research, and virtual methods); 
    • +
  • Engage students in debates over research ethics and to learn regulatory ethics, while designing and conducting ethnographic research projects; 
    • +
  • Offer research opportunities in classwork and through independent work that advance critical thought and the understanding of contemporary human conditions; 
    • +
  • Develop students’ capacity for sociocultural analysis in multiple settings, including academia, public and private sectors, social organizations and local communities; 
    • +
  • Maximize students’ capacities and skills to work collaboratively, convey thoughts clearly in both oral and written form, conduct independent research, contribute to scholarly debates, and experiment with modes of expression and data presentation. 
    • +
+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Students who wish to major in the Department of Anthropology(link is external) must take one anthropology course (any level) prior to junior year or have permission from the director of undergraduate studies.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Anthropology majors must take nine departmental courses, including the core courses ANT 300 (Ethnography, Evidence and Experience) and ANT 301 (The Ethnographer's Craft). All majors are expected to participate in a senior thesis workshop during late fall semester of their senior year. The workshop is designed to help students gain traction in data analysis and writing.

+ +

Students majoring in anthropology choose one of three tracks.

+ +

The Sociocultural Anthropology (SCA) track is for students who want to explore a number of foundational subfields within anthropology. For students who choose the Law, Politics, and Economics (LPE) or the Medical Anthropology (MedAnth) track, the selection of required and elective courses is geared toward rigorous study in these respective subfields. The courses in each track ensure that students, regardless of track, have systematic understanding of anthropological methods and theories and the discipline's unique contributions as a humanistic social science.

+ +

A cognate course may be used to satisfy a departmental requirement in any track. Students are allowed up to two cognates. The cognate may be an anthropology course taken during study abroad and/or a course offered by another department or program at Princeton that the director of undergraduate studies has reviewed and deemed to be relevant to a student's independent work or to correspond to a student’s course of study (i.e., track). Proposed cognates must be approved by the department.

+ +

Well-prepared undergraduates may take graduate seminars for departmental credit. To enroll in a graduate seminar, the student must obtain approval from the course instructor and the director of undergraduate studies before seeking final approval from the college dean.

+ +

Every year, the courses offered by the department are more extensive than what is listed in the Undergraduate Announcement. Students should always check Course Offerings(link is external).

+
+
+

Departmental Tracks

+

Majors are automatically placed by default in the Sociocultural Anthropology track unless they formally declare that they are opting into the Medical Anthropology track or the Law, Politics, and Economics track. Majors are encouraged to decide as early as possible and must declare their chosen track on or before the first day of the spring term of their junior year.

+ +

The transcript degree for all majors will be A.B. in Anthropology. Students who successfully complete the curriculum of their chosen track will receive a departmental attestation on Class Day and may note their chosen track on their resumés.

+ +

Sociocultural Anthropology Track(link is external)

+ +

The Sociocultural Anthropology Track (SCA(link is external)) is for students who want to explore contemporary forms and trajectories of human life and who seek to understand how differently positioned people address pressing social, political, environmental, technological and ethical challenges. SCA students are immersed in the histories of the discipline and are introduced to core anthropological concepts and subfields. All are encouraged to ethnographically pursue larger questions domestically and internationally and innovate in critical theory and storytelling. 

+ +

The SCA track requires nine courses total; three are required and the other six are electives selected according to distribution by course level.

+ +
SCA Required Courses (3)
+ +
  • ANT 300 Ethnography, Evidence and Experience
    • +
  • ANT 301 The Ethnographer's Craft
    • +

+ +
Senior Thesis
+ +

SCA students can choose any anthropological topic for their senior thesis, provided the methodological and theoretical approach taken is approved by the student's senior thesis adviser. Ethnographic and/or community-engaged research is strongly encouraged, along with creative modes of data visualization and storytelling.

+ +

Medical Anthropology Track(link is external)

+ +

The Medical Anthropology Track (MedAnth(link is external)) is for students interested in all aspects of medicine, from biosocial to therapeutic systems to cultural ideas about illness and practices of health and well-being. Choosing this track allows students who are interested in the sciences, policy, the humanities, and the subfield of medical anthropology to focus their undergraduate training around these topics.

+ +

The MedAnth track requires nine courses total; four are required and the other five are electives selected from category groups explained below. Students in this track are allowed to substitute up to two of the five elective courses with a class taught within the Department of Anthropology but outside MedAnth. Students are also allowed to satisfy departmental courses using two cognates.

+ +
Medanth Required Courses (4)
+ +
  • ANT 300 Ethnography, Evidence and Experience
    • +
  • ANT 301 The Ethnographer’s Craft

    • +
  • One medicine and society course taught outside the department (department approval is required and counts as a cognate unless cross-listed by ANT), for example: History of Science, Global Health, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Molecular Biology, Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology, School of Public and International Affairs; or an additional Medical Anthropology and/or Science and Technology course
    • +
  • Two anthropology courses on any subject, or one ANT course and a department-approved cognate. The department encourages MedAnth students to take Histories of Anthropological Theory (ANT 390) if their schedules can accommodate it.
    • +

Courses satisfying each of the four specified course categories (two required categories, two elective categories) are offered annually. Courses satisfying the elective course categories are typically taught every other year, although some may be offered annually and others less frequently. A list of preapproved MedAnth courses will be published each semester before course enrollment begins. 

+ +
Possible Cognates (2)
+ +

MedAnth students are allowed to take two cognates (as defined under Program of Study above). A department cognate for a MedAnth student might include a course taught in departments or programs listed above under Medicine and Society courses or others, such as African American Studies; Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Engineering; regional studies including but not limited to AMS, EAS, LAS, NES; and/or courses taken during study abroad. 

+ +
Senior Thesis
+ +

MedAnth students must write a senior thesis on a topic related to medical anthropology, broadly defined. The methodological and theoretical approach taken must be approved by the student’s senior thesis adviser. Ethnographic and/or community-engaged research is strongly encouraged, along with creative modes of data visualization and storytelling.

+ +

Law, Politics, and Economics Track(link is external)

+ +

The Law, Politics, and Economics Track (LPE(link is external)) is for students interested in these three well-established fields within the discipline of anthropology. LPE students are introduced to key theories of value, exchange and justice, for example, and to the comparative studies of law, politics, development, globalization and microeconomics across societies.

+ +

The LPE track requires nine courses total; three are required and the other six include departmental electives focused on the law, economics and politics (see examples from list below). Students in this track are allowed to substitute up to two of the six elective courses with a class taught within the Department of Anthropology but outside the LPE track. Students are also allowed to take two cognates.

+ +
LPE Required Courses (3)
+ +
  • ANT 300 Ethnography, Evidence and Experience
    • +
  • ANT 301 The Ethnographer’s Craft
    • +
  • ANT 390 Histories of Anthropological Theory
    • +
LPE Elective Courses (6)
+ +

A few examples of LPE electives are shown below. These courses are typically taught every other year, although some may be offered annually and others less frequently. A list of pre-approved LPE courses will be published each semester before course enrollment begins.

+ +
  • Courses pertaining to economics: Debt (ANT 225); Economic Experience in Cultural Context (ANT 303); Food, Culture, and Society (ANT 311); The Anthropology of Development (ANT 314); Economic Anthropology and American Pop Culture (ANT 350)

    • +
Possible Cognates (2)
+ +

LPE students are allowed to take two cognates (as defined under Program of Study above). Appropriate cognates for LPE might include courses taught in the departments of Economics or Politics; a regional studies course; courses taken during study abroad; and/or anthropology courses taught outside the Law, Politics, and Economics track.

+ +
Senior Thesis
+ +

LPE students must write a senior thesis on a topic related to law, politics and/or economics, broadly defined. The methodological and theoretical approach taken must be approved by the student’s senior thesis adviser. Ethnographic and/or community-engaged research is strongly encouraged, along with creative modes of data visualization and storytelling.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work. Independent work in the junior year involves an original paper focused on an anthropological theme or debate of interest to the student. The paper is mostly based on library research and literature review and should reflect the student’s growing mastery of anthropological ways of knowing and the uniqueness of ethnographic evidence-making and theorizing.  New field research is not appropriate for this exercise. In the fall, students develop a detailed problem statement and annotated bibliography on a relevant subject and present a research proposal for approval by the department. In the spring, students write a paper (about 8,000 words, excluding references) based on the research initiated in the fall, in consultation with their adviser. Advising begins in assigned groups during early fall before transitioning to individual advising with continuing group work. Opportunities for peer group support and writing workshops are offered throughout junior year independent work.

+ +

Since the junior paper topic is chosen before the final track declaration deadline, junior papers, unlike senior theses, do not have to be related to a student’s chosen track.

+ +

Senior Independent Work. Independent work in the senior year consists of a thesis based on ethnographic research on a timely issue or deep analysis of the extant anthropological literature on a topic of interest. A thesis that has a central artistic component must be accompanied by a substantial written essay. Doing ethnographic or community-engaged thesis research during the summer between junior and senior years is very helpful, but not required. Students carrying out fieldwork must have IRB approval. The anthropology department encourages methodologically and theoretically innovative senior thesis projects that expand our understanding of diverse lifeworlds and reorient our ethical and political imagination.

+ +

Anthropology seniors are each assigned a thesis adviser early in the fall term. A senior workshop that meets periodically during the second half of the fall term is designed to help students develop their senior theses; all seniors are expected to participate.

+ +

Students are encouraged to utilize the VizE Lab for Ethnographic Data Visualization(link is external) to receive assistance in creating multimodal senior theses that combine field-based ethnographic storytelling, visual documentary and online interactive data visualizations.

+ +

Anthropology theses are usually multipart or multichapter projects, ranging from 20,000 to 25,000 words.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

In the spring of senior year, after the thesis deadline, all majors must complete a departmental examination in which students have to demonstrate their knowledge of core anthropological theories and methods as they relate to their area of expertise and senior independent work.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Special University Programs

+ +

Students who choose to major in Anthropology are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities for individual study under special University programs. For example, under the Study Abroad Program, students may enrich their programs at Princeton with a term or a year of anthropological study abroad. Anthropology majors often enroll in PIIRS Global Seminars, including ones taught by Anthropology faculty, as well as other Princeton summer courses abroad. The International Internship Program organizes internships for students abroad, usually during a summer term. The Program for Community-Engaged Scholarship also provides opportunities for independent research and the PACE Center for Civic Engagement supports integration of academic and co-curricular community-based learning. Students should consult with the director of undergraduate studies about these and other possibilities.

+ +

Interdepartmental Programs

+ +

Students majoring in anthropology may participate in minors and certificate programs offered by other academic units. Examples of common intersections and complementary areas of study for ANT majors include: creative and performing arts, African American studies, African studies, American studies, East Asian studies, entrepreneurship, environmental studies, gender and sexuality studies, global health and health policy, humanistic studies, Latin American studies, Near Eastern studies, urban studies, and various languages and cultures programs.

+ +

Anthropological Ways of Knowing and Ethnographic Studies for Non-Majors

+ +

Students who are interested in anthropological ways of knowing and in learning ethnographic methods, but are unable to major in anthropology, are encouraged to take courses offered by the department on a broad range of topics, as well as methods courses, such as Ethnography for Research and Design (ANT 302), Visible Evidence: Documentary Film and Data Visualization (ANT 455) and Data Visualization/Cultural Facts (ANT 456). All students are welcome to consult anthropology faculty about ways to apply ethnographic methods and anthropological ways of knowing to their own research interests. The VizE Lab for Ethnographic Data Visualization(link is external) may be especially helpful.

+ ANT 201 - Introduction to Anthropology + + CDEC + +

+ +
+ An introduction to anthropology and key topics in becoming and being human. Anthropology examines human experience through diverse lenses integrating biology, ecology, language, history, philosophy, and the day to day lives of peoples from across the globe. Anthropology has things to say about being human, it seeks to make the familiar a bit strange and the strange quite familiar. We will take critical reflexive and reflective approaches in asking about key aspects of being human (like war/peace; race/racism; sex/gender; childhood/parenting; religion and the human imagination; human relations to other species).Two lectures, one preceptorial. + + A. Fuentes + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 206 - Human Evolution + (also AFS 206) + + EC + +

+ +
+ An assessment and understanding of the evolutionary history and processes in our lineage over the last 7 to 10 million years, with a focus on the ~2.5 million year history of our own genus (Homo).This outline of the history of our lineage offers an anthropological and evolutionary context for what it means to be human today. Two lectures, one preceptorial. + + A. Fuentes + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 215 - Human Adaptation + (also EEB 315) + + SEL + +

+ +
+ Human adaptation focuses on human anatomy and behavior from an evolutionary perspective. Lectures and weekly laboratory sessions focus on the evolution of the human brain, dentition, and skeleton to provide students with a practical understanding of the anatomy and function of the human body and its evolution, as well as some of its biological limitations. No science background required. Two 90-minute lectures, one three-hour laboratory. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 219 - Catastrophes across Cultures: The Anthropology of Disaster + (also ENV 219) + + SA + +

+ +
+ What is the relationship between "catastrophe" and human beings, and how has "catastrophe" influenced the way we live in the world now? This course investigates various types of catastrophes/disasters around the world by mobilizing a variety of theoretical frameworks and case studies in the social sciences. The course uses an anthropological perspective as its principal lens to comparatively observe often forgotten historical calamities throughout the world. The course is designed to explore the intersection between catastrophe and culture and how catastrophic events can be a window through which to critically analyze society and vice versa. + + R. Morimoto + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 240 - Medical Anthropology + (also HUM 240) + + CDEM + +

+ +
+ Exploration of cross-cultural constructions of sickness, disease, health, and healing interrogates our basic ethical, moral, and political positions. Our healing and disease models derive from specific cultural assumptions about society, gender, class, age, ethnicity, and race. Categories of disease from one culture can compromise ethical positions held by another. We pursue the moral implications of a critique of medical development and the political and ethical implications of treating Western medicine as ethnoscience as well as universal truth. One 90-minute lecture, one 90-minute class. + + J. Biehl + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 300 - Ethnography, Evidence and Experience + + Fall + SA + +

+ +
+ This course tackles anthropological ways of knowing and explores the evidentiary power of ethnography to advance our understanding of diverse lifeworlds. As students engage classic theoretical texts and contemporary ethnographies, they are introduced to the analytical and writing skills necessary to pursue their own independent anthropological studies: how to develop a research question, locate and analyze relevant sources, situate their interests and concerns in relation to key anthropological debates and concepts, and consider the potential of ethnographic storytelling to expand ethical and political imagination. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 301 - The Ethnographer's Craft + + Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ This course is an introduction to doing ethnographic fieldwork. Class sessions alternate between discussions of key issues and questions in the theory and practice of ethnography and workshops devoted to fieldwork exercises: participant observation, interviewing, fieldnotes, oral history, multi-modal and virtual ethnographic methods; as well as debates over research ethics and regulatory ethics. Students will build skills to design and conduct ethnographic research, while developing a critical appreciation of the possibilities and limits of ethnographic research to help them understand and engage with the world. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 303 - Economic Experience in Cultural Context + + SA + +

+ +
+ This course explores the social and cultural contexts of economic experience in the US and around the world. It considers how the consumption, production, and circulation of goods--today and in times past--become invested with personal and collective meanings. It pays special attention to symbolic and political dimensions of work, property (material, intellectual, and cultural), wealth, and "taste" (i.e., needs and wants). Additionally, course participants do a bit of anthropological fieldwork by learning to draw everyday experiences systematically into conversation with academic sources. + + R. Lederman + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 304 - Political Anthropology + + CDSA + +

+ +
+ A cross-cultural examination of collective action, power, authority and legitimacy. Topics will include the diversity of systems of leadership and decision making, the sociocultural contexts of egalitarianism and hierarchy, contemporary contests over power-sharing and state legitimacy, forms of power outside the state, and human rights struggles. One three-hour seminar. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 305 - Psychological Anthropology + (also HLS 305) + + EC + +

+ +
+ This seminar addresses the social relations in which mental health, mental illness, and psycho-medical knowledge are entangled and produced. We will engage various cross-cultural approaches to mental conflicts and pathologies: psychoanalysis, ethnopsychology, biomedical psychiatry, transcultural psychiatry, and religious and "alternative" practices of diagnosis and healing. Drawing on ethnographic and clinical studies from Greek and other contexts, we will examine the role of culture in determining lines between normal and pathological, and consider the intertwining of psyche and body in human experience and behavior. + + E. Davis + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 306 - Current Issues in Anthropology + + SA + +

+ +
+ A course taught by different members of the department and visiting faculty on various subjects not normally taught in regular courses. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 310 - Fundamentals of Biological Anthropology + + EC + +

+ +
+ A survey of current data and debates in evolutionary theory, molecular anthropology, primate biology and behavior, primate and human evolution, and modern human biology and adaptation. One three-hour seminar. + + A. Fuentes + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 312 - Mind, Body, and Bioethics in Japan and Beyond + (also EAS 312) + + Fall + EM + +

+ + + + +

+ ANT 314 - The Anthropology of Development + (also AFS 314/ENE 314) + + SA + +

+ +
+ Why do development projects fail? This course examines why well-meaning development experts get it wrong. It looks closely at what anthropologists mean by culture and why most development experts fail to attend to the cultural forces that hold communities together. By examining development projects from South Asia to the United States, students learn the relevance of exchange relations, genealogies, power, religion, and indigenous law. + + C. Rouse + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 323 - Japanese Society and Culture + (also EAS 225) + + Fall + SA + +

+ + + + +

+ ANT 326 - Language, Identity, Power + (also ECS 315/TRA 326) + + EC + +

+ +
+ Language determines our expressive capacities, represents our identities, and connects us with each other across various platforms and cultures.This course introduces classical and contemporary approaches to studying language, focusing on three main areas: 1) language as a system of rules and regulations ("structure"), 2) language as a symbolic mechanism through which individuals and groups mark their presence ("identity") and 3) language as a means of communication ("sign"). In addition to this, the course examines various ways through which language molds our individual selves: from organizing dreams and desires to shaping autobiographies. + + S. Oushakine + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 330 - The Rights of Indigenous Peoples + + EM + +

+ +
+ Using American Indian sovereignty, Australian Aborigine land claims, the Canadian Bill of Rights, the Maori Treaty of Waitangi, and various international conventions, students will consider whether there is a fundamental right to cultural integrity, and the historical, legal, and ethical implications posed by the relations between modern states and their indigenous populations. One 90-minute lecture, one 90-minute class. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 336 - The Anthropology of Selected Regions + + SA + +

+ +
+ The significant impact of peoples of particular regions on the development of anthropological theory, method, and sensibility. Special attention to the dynamic precolonial history of the region and to political and religious movements in the contemporary context of rapid socioeconomic change. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 340 - Medicine and the Humanities +

+ +
+ A course taught by different members of the department or visiting faculty on various subjects that connect student interests in the humanities with the sub-field of medical anthropology. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 341 - The Anthropology of Gender + + SA + +

+ +
+ Comparative perspectives on sexual divisions of labor, sex-based equality and inequality, and the cultural construction of "male'' and "female.'' Analysis of gender symbolism in myth and ritual, and of patterns of change in the political participation and power of the sexes. Two 90-minute lectures with discussion. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 342 - The Anthropology of Law + + EM + +

+ +
+ This course draws upon core anthropological studies of law to investigate conceptions, operations, and transformations of law across Western and non-Western societies. The course also draws upon legal theory and exemplary court cases to probe diverse forms of judicial reasoning and activism. How do legal concepts and categories--such as rights, duties, obligations, liabilities, risks, injuries, evidence, redress, and even personhood--come to appear as fundamental, natural, or universal? How are seemingly essential natures of law, in fact, constructed and produced and to which social and political effect? + + Staff + +

+ ANT 359 - Acting, Being, Doing, and Making: Introduction to Performance Studies + (also COM 359/ENG 373/THR 300) + + Not offered this year + LA + +

+ + + + +

+ ANT 360 - Ethics in Context: Uses and Abuses of Deception and Disclosure + (also CHV 360) + + EM + +

+ +
+ Magic tricks delight us; biomedicine and human sciences use deception in research (e.g., placeboes); and everyday politeness may obscure painful truths. With deception and disclosure as springboards, this course explores the contextual ambiguity of personal and professional ethics, with special attention to knowledge control. Topics include: social fictions in daily life across cultures; the tangled histories of science, stage magic, and movies; ethically controversial practices in popular culture ("reality" TV, fake news), the arts (fictive memoirs), academia (sharing/plagiarizing), self presentation (racial and sexual passing), and more. + + R. Lederman + +

+ ANT 366 - Mesoamerican Art + (also ART 267/LAS 267) + + Not offered this year + LA + +

+ + + + +

+ ANT 390 - Histories of Anthropological Theory + + Fall + HASA + +

+ +
+ This course starts with discussion of the current state of affairs in anthropological theory to ask what lines of thought and practice got us to where we are today. This includes situating anthropological theory within broader socioeconomic and political currents and exploring how poststructuralism, postcolonial theory, Black studies, and feminism reshaped the discipline in a variety of ways. Throughout the course, students will develop a critical set of skills to creatively harness the analytic power of theory as they engage pressing contemporary issues and seek to mobilize anthropological theory in the writing of their independent work. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 403 - Race and Medicine + (also AAS 403/GHP 403) + + CDEM + +

+ +
+ This course examines culture's role in reproducing health inequalities in the United States. Different populations have very different levels of access to care, environmental exposures, and cultural beliefs about health and well-being. Institutional cultures also influence how different patients are treated, how evidence is used to determine treatments, and how healthcare priorities are articulated and funded. Additionally, this course explores how medical care is influenced at a national level by health policies. These factors ultimately impact population health and patients' experiences with life, death and chronic disease. + + C. Rouse + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 404 - Special Topics in Regional Studies + + SA + +

+ +
+ Analysis of a major world region stressing the issues of cultural diversity, history, and social change. Attention will be given to the theoretical contributions of regional study, the history of regional approaches, and the internationalization of the production of anthropological research. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 405 - Topics in Anthropology + (also AFS 405) + + HASA + +

+ +
+ Study of a selected topic in anthropology; the particular choice will vary from year to year. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 406 - Theoretical Orientations in Cultural Anthropology + + EC + +

+ +
+ Analysis of classical and contemporary sources of cultural anthropology, with particular emphasis on those writers dealing with meaning and representation. The topical focus of the course will vary with the instructor. One three-hour seminar. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 412 - Anthropological Approaches to the Study of Religion + (also REL 412) + + SA + +

+ +
+ Classic and modern theories of religion relevant to anthropologists. Students will familiarize themselves with anthropological monographs dealing with a particular aspect of religion: shamanism, witchcraft, possession and ecstasy, healing. Prerequisite: instructor's permission. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 414 - Advanced Seminar in American Studies + (also AAS 405/AMS 404) + + Not offered this year + CDSA + +

+ + + + +

+ ANT 415 - The Anthropology of Science + + EC + +

+ +
+ This course considers how the sciences can be studied ethnographically, how they vary culturally one from another, and how scientific knowledge is generated. It develops an understanding of the values and social contexts of Western scientific practice through the comparative study of Western and non-Western systems of knowledge, and explores the implications and validity of the assumption that the sciences are culturally produced rather than objective standards transcending culture. One three-hour seminar. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 432 - Memory, Trauma, Accountability + + SA + +

+ +
+ Explores issues surrounding the relation of individual memory to collective trauma, the social forms of redress to trauma, and attempts to establish accountability for harm. Takes up three major approaches to memory: social organization (Halbwachs), psychoanalysis (Freud), and associative temporalities (Sebald). Examines various genres in which the memory of loss is retained or displaced, and the landscapes and histories in which such memories are recalled and losses repaired. A better understanding of such memories will improve our approaches to cultural observation, documentation, analysis, and interpretation. One three-hour seminar. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 441 - Gender: Contested Categories, Shifting Frames + + SA + +

+ +
+ An exploration of the reciprocal influences of anthropology and gender studies, considering both classic and recent contributions; an evaluation of key interpretive categories (for example, "nature,'' "domestic,'' "woman'') specifically in the context of cross-cultural translation; and comparison of various approaches to questions about the universality of gendered power hierarchies. One three-hour seminar. + + R. Lederman + +
+ + + +

+ ANT 451 - Visual Anthropology + + LA + +

+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The undergraduate program at the School of Architecture(link is external) (link is external) is known for its rigorous and interdisciplinary approach to pre-professional education. The four-year undergraduate program leads to an A.B. with a major in architecture and offers an introduction to the discipline of architecture within the framework of a liberal arts curriculum. In addition to studying design and the history and theory of architecture and urbanism, undergraduates engage a range of disciplines that contribute to an architect's knowledge and vision, including courses in architectural analysis, representation, computing, and building technologies. Such a broad academic program also prepares students for a graduate program in architecture and other related disciplines such as landscape architecture, urban planning, civil engineering, art history and the visual arts.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Architecture is an academic and professional discipline that is technical, aesthetic and social in scope.  The goal of the undergraduate major is to engage the study of architecture within a comprehensive liberal arts education, drawing from the broader academic and professional environments of Princeton University and the School of Architecture. The Bachelor of Arts degree in architecture is a nonprofessional degree, meaning it does not fulfill requirements for professional licensure. For accredited professional degree programs, please refer to the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). Although the design studios serve as a primary pedagogical framework to rehearse modes of architectural thought and research, numerous departmental lectures, seminars and workshops provide a learning environment that promotes individual creativity and criticality. 

+ +
  • To train students in architectural thinking and making — to gain disciplinary expertise to eventually respond to the most pressing design problems of our time.
    • +
  • To engage students in the design studio — a rehearsal for the design problems they may address in the future — requiring proposals that demonstrate an understanding of programmatic considerations, contextual/environmental connections, social/political implications, technological systems and historical/theoretical meaning.
    • +
  • To train students in the mediums of architectural thought and representation, ranging from freehand sketching to digital drafting, physical modeling, digital modeling and printing, online and print media and other media constituting the métier of the craft.
    • +
  • To introduce students to the imbricated relationships of architecture and related design fields such as urbanism, landscape architecture, and civil and environmental engineering.
    • +
  • To engage with issues of environmental justice and its relationship to the built environment — understanding and mitigating inequitable disparities of quality of life and space with systemic social, racial, political, technical and scientific issues.
    • +
  • To maximize students’ capacities and skills to work collaboratively, convey thoughts clearly both orally and in writing, conduct independent research, contribute to scholarly debates and become leaders in the field. 
    • +
+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Students who wish to major in architecture are required to complete two courses during their first year or sophomore year: ARC 203 Introduction to Architectural Thinking (offered in fall) and ARC 204 Introduction to Architectural Design (offered in spring). The courses do not need to be taken in sequence. The design seminar ARC 206 Geometry and Architectural Representation is highly recommended before junior year but not required. At least one course in architectural history, taken in either the School of Architecture (link is external)or the Department of Art and Archaeology(link is external), is recommended but not required to be completed before junior year.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

The architecture program provides a foundation in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, historic preservation and related fields of study. In particular, the program prepares students for further study at the graduate level in design and the history and theory of art or architecture.

+ +

In addition to the general prerequisites and the requirements for independent work, each student is required to complete 10 courses in three related areas: history and theory, technology, and design. The history and theory distribution requires six courses: three history and theory of architecture courses, two of which are ARC 308 and ARC 403; two courses in history and theory of urbanism and landscape; and two upper-level courses in art and archaeology. The technology distribution requires two courses, one of which is ARC 311: Building Science and Technology–Building Systems. The design seminar distribution requires one course, although we currently list only one undergraduate design seminar: ARC 206. 

+ +

Architecture majors take the following sequence of courses in their junior and senior years: junior studio, which consists of ARC 350 and ARC 351, and two required history and theory courses: ARC 308: History of Architectural Theory, taken in the fall of junior year; and ARC 403: Topics in the History and Theory of Architecture, in the fall semester of senior year. These courses introduce methodologies of historical analysis and research, the literature of the field and varieties of architectural writing. 

+ +

In the fall semester of their senior year, students are required to enroll in ARC 404: Advanced Design Studio. ARC 404 is centered around independent design projects that synthesize students’ training and interests and investigate new approaches to representation. 

+ +

Students should check with the academic programs office and director of undergraduate studies to determine which one-time-only courses are being offered during the academic year.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Independent work provides an essential part of an architecture major’s training in their junior and senior years.

+ +

Junior Year. The junior independent work requirement is satisfied by a paper (about 30 pages) selected by the student in consultation with a faculty adviser. The work is initiated in the fall (topic, outline, and bibliography) and completed in the spring. Students work throughout the year in consultation with their faculty adviser. A Ph.D. student mentor also provides writing support.

+ +

Senior Year. The senior thesis in architecture is a year-long project that begins with ARC 403 in the fall semester. Faculty thesis advisers are assigned at the end of the fall term of senior year, and students work closely with their adviser to formulate their topic, define research methods, organize thesis material and refine the presentation of the scholarship.

+ +

The senior thesis is intended to be a detailed project, presenting a well-argued piece of research on a precise architectural theme, and may include several forms of representation. For example, students commonly utilize architectural drawings, models, video, photographs and computer-generated drawings and models. The final presentation and oral defense of the senior thesis in the spring constitute a section of the departmental examination.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

All students in the architecture program take the departmental examination [DC1] in May of their senior year. The exam consists of a dialog with one’s adviser and second reader around the thesis itself and a brief (10–15 minutes) presentation summarizing the student’s principal questions, findings and contribution to existing research. Students typically show images and highlight what was most interesting and exciting about the project.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

The major in architecture offers a rich and wide-ranging curriculum that blends foundational knowledge with experience in architectural writing and creative workflows and processes. The major provides training that prepares students for a variety of career choices. Architecture students typically pursue practice and/or teaching, both of which require further study at the graduate level.  

+ +

Students who contemplate pursuing graduate professional study in architecture are strongly advised to elect MAT 103 and PHY 101. Courses in the social sciences and art and architectural history are also encouraged.

+ +

Professional Study in Architecture. Princeton undergraduates completing the program, if admitted to Princeton's graduate professional program (M.Arch. degree), generally complete their graduate studies in three years. Advanced standing may be granted by professional graduate schools at other universities.

+ +

In order to qualify for licensing as architects in the United States, students are required, by individual states, to complete a program leading to a professional degree that is accepted by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. Please see the NAAB statement at the end of this section.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Related Programs

+ +

The School of Architecture supports two undergraduate certificate programs:

+ +

Architecture and Engineering. Students interested in pursuing studies in both architecture and civil engineering may participate in the interdisciplinary certificate program in architecture and engineering. For further information, consult the appropriate entry for the Program in Architecture and Engineering(link is external).

+ +

Program in Urban Studies. The Program in Urban Studies is an interdepartmental plan of study for undergraduates that offers an interdisciplinary framework for the study of cities, metropolitan regions, and urban and suburban landscapes. With courses in diverse departments including art and archaeology, history, music, civil and environmental engineering, sociology and politics, along with the School of Architecture and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, the program encourages students to think about metropolitan centers in all their complexity as physical spaces; social, cultural, political and economic nexuses; and historical artifacts. For more information, please see the program's website(link is external).

+ +

Facilities

+ +

Located at the center of campus, the Architecture Building is home to undergraduate and graduate design studios, Betts Auditorium, an exhibition gallery, the School of Architecture Library, the Archives and Audio-Visual Resources Collection, the Computer-Aided Design and Imaging Facility, and facilities for work related to building and construction technologies.

+ +

Architecture students have two model-building facilities available to them. The first is the School of Architecture Laboratory (aka SoA Lab), which houses some of the latest computer-driven fabrication technologies, including two Universal Laser Systems X Class CO2 Lasers; a Precix 4' X 8' Computerized Router Table; and the 3-D Systems Z-650 3-D Printer. All can be utilized after the completion of orientation and training sessions, and there are shop staff or trained student shop monitors on duty when opened. The second facility is the new Embodied Computation Laboratory (aka Arch Lab or ECL). This facility is a working research laboratory focusing on parametric design, robotics and fabrication that allows for heavier fabrication work, hands-on material experiments and full-scale mock-ups and prototypes.

+ +

Located on the second floor, the School of Architecture Library (link is external)is part of the larger Princeton University Library system. Its holdings focus on architectural-related topics dating from the mid-19th century through the present, such as design, professional practice, architectural theory, landscape architecture, urban design, city planning, housing, architectural history and interior design. Although the site is modest in size, with about 28,500 volumes on-site, there are thousands more volumes housed in the Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCAP) facility. Importantly, the library also subscribes to more than 325 architectural-related journals and other serials. The University’s collections related to architecture also extend across campus, with important resources in the Marquand Library of Art and Archaeology, the Engineering Library, and Firestone Library(link is external).

Accreditation

+ +

National Architectural Accrediting Board Statement. In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.

+ +

Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

+ +

Princeton University School of Architecture(link is external) offers the following NAAB-accredited degree programs:

+ +

Master of Architecture (non-pre-professional degree + 108 graduate credit hours)
+Master of Architecture (pre-professional degree + 72 graduate credit hours)

+ +

Next anticipated accreditation visit: 2024.

Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Department of Art and Archaeology(link is external) is devoted to the study of the visual arts and the investigation of material artifacts from a wide range of cultures and periods. Students may pursue a major in the History of Art or the Practice of Art; information on the certificate in Archaeology is also included below. Studio art courses are taught by faculty in the Program in Visual Arts; history of art courses also frequently include practical components. Students interested in the practice of art (taught by faculty in the Program in Visual Arts) can pursue a major in the department. Working closely with faculty members in small classes and often dealing directly with original objects and primary sources, students can explore subjects as diverse as Roman or modern city planning, arts of printing and book-making in East Asia or Europe, ancient or medieval archaeology, architectural history, 19th–21st century photography and contemporary arts of Africa, Latin America and the United States.

+ +

Students in the Department of Art and Archaeology learn techniques for analyzing and interpreting the visual and material world. They also investigate the factors that influence artistic change (e.g., religious beliefs, economic constraints, patronage demands and technological changes). Like any humanist or social scientist, they must evaluate evidence, form hypotheses, test data and draw conclusions. Successful majors learn to translate their visual perceptions into linguistic expression, develop visual memory and make connections among a wide array of historical evidence. Students must have at least a C- average based on courses and independent work in order to graduate from the department.

+ +

Students interested in majoring in the Department of Art and Archaeology must choose one of two tracks, each of which has its own admission prerequisites and curricular requirements.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+
  • Students cultivate their abilities to investigate and describe the essential role of art making in a range of histories and cultures. By extension, students develop their abilities to analyze critically and perceptively the products of human civilization and thought.
    • +
  • Students learn techniques by which to analyze visual-material cultures and locate artworks in time and space. They investigate factors that influence the form and direction of artistic practice or change (e.g., economic and social conditions, religious beliefs, patronage demands, technological development).
    • +
  •  Students evaluate evidence of various kinds (e.g., material, pictorial, documentary, textual), form hypotheses, test data and draw conclusions. Students engage in experiential learning, and regularly work directly from original sources.
    • +
  • Students learn to effectively translate sensory perceptions into linguistic or material expression, develop visual and/or auditory memory and make connections among a wide array of historical evidence. Practice of Art students additionally develop technical skills in multiple media.
    • +
  • All majors and certificate students reflect thoughtfully and explicitly on method in their respective junior seminars or the Introduction to Archaeology.
    • +
  • Students experience a range of artistic, art historical and archaeological methods and approaches, and have the opportunity to learn from colleagues practicing in diverse sectors of the field. They understand the interdisciplinary methods and commitments of the field, and work directly with primary sources of various kinds (as above, e.g., material culture, photographic or graphic documentation, textual sources).
    • +

In support of these goals:

+ +
  • Students have robust access through the department to the activities and communities of the Program in Archaeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts (certificate-granting programs).
    • +
  • Students have robust access through the department to the collections, activities and communities of the Princeton University Art Museum.
    • +
  • Students have robust access through the department to the collections, activities and communities of various units within the department (e.g., Visual Resources, Marquand Library, the Tang Center for East Asian Art, the Index of Medieval Art) and elsewhere on campus (e.g., Firestone Library, Special Collections).
    • +
+
+
+

Program of Study

+

History of Art Track

+ +

A total of 10 courses in the Department of Art and Archaeology, including ART 400 (Junior Seminar) and an additional two seminars at the 400- or 500-level. Seven of the 10 courses must be taught by Art and Archaeology departmental faculty. Students must take at least one course in each of the following three distribution areas: Group 1 (ancient), Group 2 (medieval/early modern), and Group 3 (19th century to the present).  ART 100, ART 400 and ART 401 count as departmentals but not as distribution courses. In choosing courses to satisfy requirements, students are encouraged to explore a range of geographies and a range of media, e.g., architecture, painting, sculpture, photography, works on paper, film.

+ +
Cognates
+ +

No more than two cognate courses taken in other departments (including the Program in Visual Arts) may be counted toward the 10 departmentals. This includes summer courses. Students participating in the Study Abroad Program may be allowed to count more than two courses taken overseas as departmentals. All cognate courses must be approved by the director of undergraduate studies prior to enrollment, based on the submission of a syllabus and course description. Courses cross-listed with the Department of Art and Archaeology automatically count as departmentals, but do not count toward the departmental honors GPA.

+ +
Junior Seminar
+ +

During the fall of junior year, all majors must take the junior seminar (ART 400). The course introduces students to various methods used by art historians and archaeologists, and many assignments relate directly to their junior independent work. Students who are abroad during the fall of junior year can complete the junior seminar during the fall term of their senior year.

+ +

Practice of Art Track

+ +

A total of 10 courses, of which at least six must be from the Program in Visual Arts (link is external)and four must be from the Department of Art and Archaeology and taught by Art and Archaeology faculty.

+ +

The visual arts courses must include: two studio courses in at least two different media; two studio courses at the 300- or 400 level; VIS 392 Issues in Contemporary Art; and VIS 416 Exhibition Issues and Methods or VIS 417 Film Seminar. The Department of Art and Archaeology courses must include one course from Group 1 (ancient) or Group 2 (medieval/early modern) and one course from Group 3 (19th century to the present). The remaining two courses may come from any group. When multiple courses are selected from the same group, breadth in chronological and geographic focus among them is encouraged.

+ +

Courses for film students must include: two studio courses at any level in two different media (screenwriting courses are accepted as a different medium from film production courses); two studio courses at the 300- or 400 level; VIS 392; VIS 419 (taken in the spring of junior year). The Department of Art and Archaeology courses must include: one course from Group 1 (ancient) or Group 2 (medieval/early modern); one course from Group 3 (19th century to the present); and two from any group. For two ART courses, film students may substitute film courses cross-listed with ART. 

+ +

Practice of Art students are strongly encouraged to enroll in ART 400. The course does not carry a Group designation, but counts toward the total of four ART courses for Practice of Art students.  

+ +
Cognates
+ +

Up to two courses in studio art or art history may be taken at other institutions during the summers with prior approval by the director of undergraduate studies (for History of Art courses) or the director of the Program in Visual Arts (for Practice of Art courses). Courses taken as part of the Study Abroad Program may be allowed to count as departmentals with prior approval from the director of undergraduate studies and the director of the Program in Visual Arts.

+ +
Junior Seminar
+ +

During the fall of junior year, all majors must take the junior seminar, VIS 392 Issues in Contemporary Art. Beginning with the Class of 2023, film students will also be required to take VIS 392. VIS 392 coincides with admission to the junior studios and investigates the history, challenges and rewards of studio practice. Through readings, discussions, studio critiques and a culminating exhibition of works in progress, VIS 392 provides the foundation for students' independent creative development, as well as the impetus for beginning to be able to articulate the historical precedents and ambitions of their work. Students are also strongly encouraged to take ART 400, the junior methods seminar in the Department of Art and Archaeology.

+
+
+

Departmental Tracks

+

History of Art Track

+ +

Majors in this track pursue the study and criticism of the visual arts and the investigation of material culture from a wide range of historical periods.

+ +

Practice of Art Track

+ +

Majors in this track explore the traditions, thought processes and methods of making visual art in connection with a liberal arts education. Studio courses are offered in painting, drawing, printmaking, graphic design, media, sculpture, photography, film and video production. Students also study art history and theory.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

History of Art Track

+ +
Junior Independent Work
+ +

Junior Independent Work (JIW) begins in the fall, in the context of the junior seminar (ART 400), and continues into the spring with a faculty adviser whom the student selects in consultation with the director of undergraduate studies. JIW consists of a research paper of approximately 30–40 pages (7,500–10,000 words) on any topic related to visual and material culture. Assignments in ART 400 help students conceptualize and implement their research agendas. The JIW requirement in History of Art includes two colloquia with the Practice of Art cohort, one in the fall and one in the spring.

+ +
Senior Independent Work
+ +

The senior independent work consists of a year-long research project of approximately 60–80 pages (15,000–20,000 words). The student selects a faculty adviser in the spring of their junior year and submits a progress report to the director of undergraduate studies by mid-November of their senior year. For further deadlines see the Undergraduate Handbook; for further details on thesis writing and research, see the Independent Work Guide in the History of Art. The thesis grade is the average of the grades given by the faculty adviser and a second faculty reader. The Senior Independent Work requirement in History of Art includes two colloquia with the Practice of Art cohort, one in the fall and one in the spring.

+ +

Practice of Art Track

+ +
Junior Independent Work
+ +

Junior independent work begins in the fall, in the context of the junior seminar. It continues into the spring in partnership with two faculty advisers, one from VIS and one from ART. Students are provided with studio space and prepare independent work over the course of the year, culminating in an exhibition as part of the Spring Junior Group Thesis Show. Film students work throughout their junior year to create a junior film.

+ +

All Practice of Art juniors assemble a writing portfolio consisting of multiple short essays amounting to approximately 10 pages (2,500 words). The essays reflect on the creating process and discuss the relation of the work to the student’s broader studies, especially in art history. The essays should include a bibliography. The grade for independent work is the average of the grade from the VIS and ART advisers. For further description of the portfolios, see the Undergraduate Handbook.

+ +

The Junior Independent Work requirement in Practice of Art includes two colloquia with the History of Art cohort, one in the fall and one in the spring.

+ +
Senior Independent Work
+ +

By the end of the second week of the fall term of senior year, students must have three advisers, including one from the Department of Art and Archaeology faculty, who is selected in consultation with the director of undergraduate studies. The senior independent work is a major studio project completed by the end of the spring term, done in consultation with the student’s advisers, and a writing portfolio consisting of multiple short essays amounting to approximately 20 pages (5,000 words). The essays reflect on the creating process and discuss the relation of the work to the student's broader studies, especially in art history. The essays should include a bibliography. For further description of the portfolios, see the Undergraduate Handbook. Students are assigned semiprivate studios on the second floor of 185 Nassau. Students present their work in an exhibition at the end of the year at the Lewis Center. An “Advisers' Thesis Critique” is performed by the ART and VIS advisers in the presence of the exhibit. The grade for the senior independent work is the average of the grade given by the ART and VIS advisers during the thesis critique and for the written component. 
+ 

+ +

The senior independent work requirement in Practice of Art includes two colloquia with the History of Art cohort, one in the fall and one in the spring.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

History of Art Track

+ +

The senior comprehensive departmental examination ("Comps") consists of a one-hour oral examination discussing the senior thesis and also covering material from departmental courses. It is attended by three faculty members, consisting of the adviser of the senior thesis, the second reader, and one additional faculty member. The exam grade is the average of the grades given by the three examiners.

+ +

Practice of Art Track

+ +

The senior departmental examination  in the Practice of Arts has two parts. (1) A one-hour critical discussion (the “Crit”) of the senior thesis exhibition in the latter half of the spring term, in the presence of each student's exhibition. The discussion is open to all Program in Visual Arts faculty and Practice of Art/certificate students. All Visual Arts faculty who attend the Crit will grade it, and those grades will be averaged. (2) Practice of Art students participate in the same comprehensive exam ("Comps") as the History of Art students (see above). The VIS primary adviser and the ART adviser will be two of the three faculty present at the comprehensive exam; the three grades will be averaged for the Comps grade. The final grade on the transcript for the departmental examination is the average of the Crit grade and the Comps grade.    

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Study abroad can be a richly rewarding part of any concentration in the Department of Art and Archaeology. Art history courses taken abroad (normally up to two per term or four for a year in a study abroad program) can be preapproved for departmental credit by the director of undergraduate studies. Students generally study abroad during junior year or the first term of senior year. Junior independent work can be completed under the supervision of a departmental faculty member with prior approval and ongoing contact with the faculty adviser. Senior independent work in the fall of senior year may be done overseas, but the spring term work must be done in residence. Students contemplating study abroad should speak with the director of undergraduate studies as early as possible and meet with a study abroad adviser in the Office of International Programs.

+ +

Students interested in archaeology may choose to participate in overseas archaeological excavations undertaken by departmental faculty. For further information, contact the program director.

+ +

Nonmajors who would like to receive credit for history of art courses taken during a semester or academic year abroad must apply through the Office of International Programs and receive approval for credit from their study abroad adviser. Credit will not be approved for cognates of Princeton's ART100 course at other institutions (i.e., general survey courses in art history), for majors and nonmajors alike.

+ +

If students wish to receive credit for history of art courses taken abroad during the summer, they must receive approval from the Office of International Programs as well as the director of undergraduate studies. This applies to both majors and nonmajors.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

Students who are contemplating graduate work in the history of art and archaeology are reminded that most graduate programs require a reading knowledge of two or more languages. In some fields German is particularly important. Consult regularly with your field advisers and the director of undergraduate study if you intend to pursue a graduate application.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Resources for Research

+ +

Outstanding resources are available for students majoring in art and archaeology. These include the Marquand Library, a noncirculating research library with over 400,000 books; the Princeton University Art Museum; the Index of Medieval Art; the Visual Resources Collection; and the P.Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Center for East Asian Art. Firestone Library also houses extensive holdings of illuminated manuscripts, prints, and photographs in departments including the Manuscripts Division, Graphic Arts Collection, Rare Books and Special Collections, the Cotsen Children's Library and the Western Americana Collection. Staff members in the University Art Museum and the Index of Medieval Art regularly offer courses or otherwise participate in the department’s teaching activities. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the proximity of major museum collections in New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere.

+ +

Honors

+ +

Honors are awarded by a vote of the faculty to students having the highest, weighted grade point average based on grades achieved in departmental courses, junior independent work, senior independent work, the senior oral examination and participation in the majors’ colloquia. Honors are only awarded to students who are members of the graduating class.

+ +

The Department of Astrophysical Sciences (link is external)offers an outstanding program for astrophysics majors, with the flexibility to accommodate students with a broad range of interests. Many of our majors plan to continue in graduate school in astrophysics. For students with career goals in other areas such as science education, science policy, space exploration, as well as law, medicine, finance and teaching, we offer a flexible choice of courses and research projects. The department covers all major fields in astrophysics — from planets, to black holes, stars, galaxies, quasars, dark matter, dark energy and the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to today. The relatively small size of the department allows for an informal, flexible and friendly setting. The department is known for providing strong and supportive mentorship to all students, for cutting-edge independent research done by students for their JPs and theses, as well as for its warm and amiable atmosphere. Full access to all faculty members and to the excellent departmental facilities, including our on-campus and remote telescopes and sophisticated computer system, is provided.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The main goal of our program is for our students to become successful scientists, researchers, science educators, or to pursue other areas of interest in science such as science policy, space exploration, data science, hi-tech and more. To achieve this broad goal, we expect our students to learn and master advanced-level courses in astrophysics, physics and math, and to become proficient with computational methods and statistical analysis. We expect our students to learn to conduct cutting-edge research in astrophysics using the scientific method and by employing observational, theoretical or computational analyses. This comprehensive training will enable students to successfully pursue their future careers — in science, education, science policy, data science or any other direction that requires quantitative thinking and problem solving.  

+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Advanced placement in physics or math requirements will be granted as recommended by the relevant physics or math department. For advanced placement in astrophysics courses, please consult with the director of undergraduate studies in astrophysics. 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Mathematics 103, 104, 201, 202 or equivalent; Physics 103/105, 104/106, 207; and Astrophysical Sciences 204.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Every student majoring in astrophysical sciences will acquire the necessary training in astrophysics by taking at least eight upper-level science/math courses, including the following:

+ +

At least three astrophysics courses at the 300–400 level, selected from:

+ +
  • Stars and Star Formation (AST 403)
    • +
  • Cosmology (AST 401) 
    • +
  • General Relativity (AST 301)
    • +
  • Research Methods in Astrophysics (AST 303)
    • +

    • +
  • Advanced Electrodynamics (PHY 304)
    • +
  • Quantum Mechanics (PHY 305)
    • +

Students also complete two additional science, math, computer science or engineering courses. 

+
+
+

Departmental Tracks

+

There are no tracks in the astrophysics program, but individual plans for courses and independent research projects can be made by consulting with the director of undergraduate studies. 

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year. In addition to the coursework completed during junior year, each student carries out two junior independent research projects, one each semester. Each project examines a research topic of current interest, carried out under close supervision of a faculty adviser who is doing research in this area. The student will complete each term's independent work by submitting a written paper. The research projects can involve data analysis using astronomical data from our telescopes, including data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey — a unique three-dimensional map of the universe — and the Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey with the Subaru telescope, as well as data from other national and international facilities such as the Hubble Space Telescope. Similarly, theoretical and computational projects in astrophysics are available. The topics, to be selected jointly by the student and their adviser, can range from areas such as cosmology and the early universe, to galaxy formation, to large-scale structure of the universe, quasars, black holes, stars, extra-solar planets, high-energy astrophysics and plasma astrophysics. Interdisciplinary projects, including astronomy and education, science policy, planetary science, astrobiology, space science exploration and more are possible.

+ +

Senior Year. In senior year, in addition to coursework, students must carry out an extensive research project with a faculty adviser for their senior thesis. The thesis is completed by submitting a final written paper summarizing the work. There is a wide range of observational and theoretical topics available, including interdisciplinary projects as discussed above. The senior thesis work is frequently published as part of a scientific paper in an astrophysical journal. After the thesis has been completed and read by the adviser and an additional faculty member, the student presents an oral summary of the work, followed by an oral defense of the thesis.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The thesis work and the oral defense, combined with a brief oral examination on general topics in astrophysics, constitute the senior departmental examination.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

The undergraduate program in the department provides excellent preparation for graduate study in astrophysics, with majors frequently accepted at the top graduate schools in the country.

+ +

+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Department of Chemistry offers a flexible program suitable for those who plan to attend graduate school, as well as for premedical students or those intending to pursue a career in secondary school teaching. A chemistry major is appropriate for anyone who wants to attain a broad background of undergraduate training in science.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The Department of Chemistry offers a flexible program suitable for those who plan to attend graduate school, as well as for premedical students or those intending to pursue a career in secondary school teaching. A chemistry major is appropriate for anyone who wants to attain a broad background of undergraduate training in science. The key learning goals for the chemistry major are:

+ +
  • Investigate a scientific question using the scientific method, by designing and conducting experiments. A student will ultimately take both intellectual and practical responsibility for all aspects of a research project, constantly evaluating results to determine the next steps to pursue.
    • +
  • Use acquired knowledge to clearly define and solve chemical problems. This includes single step, multistep or integrative problems.
    • +
  • Describe chemical transformations in terms of reaction mechanisms. Demonstrate an understanding between the interplay of reactivity and structure in chemical and biological systems.
    • +
  • Perform basic laboratory skills (preparing solutions, chemical synthesis techniques, chemical analysis, recordkeeping and laboratory safety).
    • +
  • Understand the basic principles and applications of modern instruments, including use of computers for data acquisitions and processing and use of available software packages for data analysis.
    • +
  • Appreciate diverse approaches to research, and work in a safe, responsible and ethical manner.
    • +
  • Understand the genres of scientific papers and presentations and how these different genres are applicable to the different disciplines in chemistry.
    • +
  • Understand the standard structure of a scientific paper and the purpose of each section, and to create both a research proposal (junior year) and formal thesis (senior year) focused on the independent work research project.
    • +
  • Deliver independent work results orally in a formal scientific presentation for members of the scientific community.
    • +
+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

For the Class of 2027 and beyond, a student who received an Advanced Placement Examination score of 5 qualifies for one unit of advanced placement and is eligible to take CHM 215 Advanced General Chemistry–Honors. One term of advanced placement satisfies the B.S.E. chemistry requirement.

+ +

A departmental placement examination is given to students who did not have an opportunity to take the Chemistry Advanced Placement Exam or are seeking placement into CHM 301.

+ +

A student who has been granted advanced placement credit in chemistry and has taken advanced courses in the subject during both terms of their first year may be eligible for independent work in sophomore year. First-year students interested in this option should contact the director of undergraduate studies in the spring term.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Before entering the department, students are expected to complete:

+ +
  1. One year of general chemistry: CHM 201 and CHM 202; CHM 207 and CHM 202; one unit of advanced placement and CHM 202; one unit of advanced placement and CHM 215; or two units of advanced placement credit.
    2. +
  2. Differential and integral calculus: MAT 103 and MAT 104, or the equivalent advanced placement credit.
    3. +
  3. One year of general physics: PHY 101 or PHY 103 or PHY 105 and PHY 102 or PHY 104 or PHY 106 or the equivalent advanced placement credit.
    4. +
  4. One year of organic chemistry: CHM 301 and CHM 302 or CHM 301 and CHM 304. Chemistry majors must complete this sequence at Princeton and by the end of sophomore year.
    5. +

Prerequisite courses may not be taken using the pass/D/fail grading option.

+ +

 

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

University regulations require that, before graduation, students take eight courses designated as departmental courses in their major field. These eight courses are divided into four core courses and four cognate courses as defined below. Chemistry majors typically take more than eight courses that qualify as departmental.

+ +

Core Courses

+ +

Students must take three 300-, 400-numbered courses in chemistry and at least one term of experimental laboratory instruction at Princeton as departmental core courses. These courses must include at least one term each of organic (CHM 301, 302 or 304), physical (CHM 305, 306, 405 or 406) and inorganic chemistry (CHM 411 or 412). The experimental requirement may be fulfilled by taking either CHM 371 or MSE 302 or PHY 312 or CBE 346. Note: The experimental course must be completed by the end of junior year.

+ +

Cognates

+ +

The remaining four departmental courses of the eight required by the University degree regulations can be in either chemistry or a cognate scientific area (e.g., molecular biology, engineering, geoscience, materials science, computer science, mathematics, neuroscience or physics). Many courses in the sciences at the 300-, 400-, and 500-levels are approved as departmental courses. Courses are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. To qualify as a departmental, the course must have one or more prerequisites (i.e., be non-introductory) and must have a strong chemistry component. Contact the director of undergraduate studies to discuss whether courses of interest can be counted as cognates.

+ +

Physics/Mathematics

+ +

An understanding of chemistry requires a thorough background in physics and mathematics. Students majoring in chemistry should obtain a broad background in these subjects. In general, it is desirable to take courses in mathematics at least through multivariable calculus (MAT 201 or 203) and linear algebra (MAT 202 or 204). These courses may be counted as departmental courses.

+ +

The program described above deliberately allows substantial flexibility and encourages a broad view of chemistry.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work

+ +
First-term Program
+ +

The first-term program consists of two components: junior colloquium and reading groups.

+ +
  1. The Junior Colloquium: One evening each week throughout the fall term, junior chemistry majors and early majors are required to attend research seminars and departmental trainings. The research seminars, given by the departmental faculty, will introduce students to areas of current research not typically addressed during the coursework. The departmental training sessions include laboratory safety and responsible conduct of research, which prepare students for independent research in the spring.
    2. +
  2. Reading Groups: Juniors will be assigned to one of several reading groups. Over the course of the semester, every group will meet with three separate instructors, one for each of three four-week reading periods. Reading group instructors will utilize current chemical literature to introduce novel research, and the mechanics of scientific writing and presentation. At the end of each reading period, students will submit a critical analysis of a research article.
    3. +

The student's final term grade is calculated by the director of undergraduate studies using the grades on the three papers plus the individual's record of attendance at the evening colloquia.

+ +
Second-term Program
+ +

Each student will select a faculty adviser for spring independent work by the start of the spring semester. During the semester, the student will meet regularly with the faculty adviser and begin working on preliminary research in their chosen field. At the end of the term, the student will submit a research proposal for the senior thesis. The proposal will incorporate the experimental results obtained into support for the projected thesis topics. A student's final term grade is determined by the director of undergraduate studies in conjunction with the faculty adviser's evaluation.

+ +

Senior Independent Work

+ +

At the end of junior year, each student selects a thesis adviser (who may or may not be the same as the adviser during junior year). The adviser and the student will agree on a topic on which the student will undertake independent original research throughout both terms of senior year. This project will consist largely of original research involving wet laboratory work and/or chemical theory. On or before the University deadline, a written thesis based on this research work must be submitted to the department. The thesis will be evaluated and ranked by a committee of professors, two each from the following areas of study, as appropriate: inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials science and biochemistry.

+ +

Grading note: The grades for the junior and senior independent work will comply with the University's grading guidelines.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The comprehensive exam is an oral thesis presentation, given by each senior student to a group of three members of the faculty, including their thesis adviser, during the first part of the final exam period.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

The department encourages students to consider opportunities for study abroad in the spring term of junior year. Requirements for the junior independent work program are then met at the host institution overseas. In addition, the student may elect to have the number of required departmental courses reduced by one cognate per semester abroad, assuming advanced approval of a chemistry-related course of study at the overseas institution. (This course may not be counted as one of the four required core courses.) Students considering study abroad are urged to discuss their plans with the director of undergraduate studies early in the planning stages to lay out coursework, obtain approvals and set up junior independent work assignments.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Integrated Science Sequence

+ +

Completion of the ISC/CHM/COS/MOL/PHY 231, 232, 233, 234 series fulfills the general chemistry and physics prerequisites. For full course descriptions and more information, see the Integrated Science website.

+ +
Professional Certification in Chemistry
+ +

Students intending to pursue a career in chemistry, whether directly after graduation or following a graduate program, may wish to pursue a course of study leading to professional certification by the American Chemical Society. This certification requires two semesters of organic chemistry (CHM 301 and either 302 or 304), two semesters of physical chemistry (CHM 305 or 405, and 306 or 406), one semester of inorganic chemistry (CHM 411 or 412), one semester of experimental chemistry (CHM 371) and one semester of biochemistry (either CHM 403 or MOL 345). Junior and senior independent work (CHM 981 and 984) must be completed. Two additional courses in the chemistry department, or cross-listed with the chemistry department, must also be taken for subject depth. Courses in multivariable calculus, linear algebra and differential equations are strongly recommended.

+ +
Chemistry Outreach Program
+ +

Nothing serves to foster excitement about science more than well-planned chemical demonstrations and activities. Many chemistry faculty, staff and students participate in programs for local schools, museums, community groups and youth organizations. The Chemistry Outreach Program gives chemistry majors hands-on experience with demonstrations and presentations, and the opportunity to increase interest in science in the schools and the community. After a brief series of training sessions, chemistry outreach students, in concert with faculty and staff, present programs for visitors to Princeton and at local schools, museums or libraries. The training sessions emphasize effective presentation, safe practices, the choice of age-appropriate activities and coordination with local educational requirements. They include laboratory sessions in which students master demonstrations and activities tested by the department or by the American Chemical Society. Students may also develop or help to develop new demonstrations or activities, and they may help with other science programs, such as the New Jersey State Science Olympiad.

Program Offerings

+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The classics major is a flexible, interdisciplinary program that affords students a range of opportunities to study the cultures, languages, history, politics and intellectual traditions of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, their contacts with other civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean, resonances in later ages and continued vitality today. The department offers two rigorous and highly flexible majors tracks, in which students chart their own paths within broad areas of study and are encouraged to develop innovative research projects, working closely with world-leading faculty, graduate students engaged in exciting scholarship and highly motivated undergraduate peers within the department. Because of the diversity of the topics studied by the faculty, ranging from Proto-Indo-European linguistics to medieval manuscripts to the cultural politics of the modern Caribbean, the department is able to support students exploring a wide range of subjects and pursuing independent work involving humanistic and social-scientific analysis, creative projects and experimental research. The unusually broad and diverse intellectual range of our program is matched by an intimate, supportive environment in which faculty and students work closely together.

+ +

Majors acquire, in the course of their studies, the language skills appropriate to their interests and research plans, either through departmental language courses or summer study (which the department has resources to fund). The relevant competencies will vary substantially depending on interest, and the director of undergraduate studies can advise on the appropriate course of study in order to realize a student’s intellectual and personal ambitions. The department regularly commits substantial funds to enable students to pursue their learning goals through domestic and international summer programs, including language courses, archaeological digs and independent research projects.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Classics studies textual and material evidence from the ancient Greco-Roman world from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating approaches from literary studies, history, archaeology, philosophy, linguistics and more. It also places ancient Greece and Rome within the context of the greater Ancient Mediterranean and explores the reception of antiquity in a variety of times and places. Students learn how to evaluate complex and partial evidence and how to analyze premodern societies through texts and objects, while exploring and critiquing concepts and discourses vitally important in today’s world. The sequence of independent work gradually builds research, analysis and communication skills as the students learn to formulate and answer questions appropriate to the scope of each paper, responsive to available evidence, and promising to make an original contribution to our knowledge.  

+ +

 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

One course on classical culture, broadly defined: any departmental course, HUM 216–217, HUM 247 or other course approved by the DUS.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Program 1. Classical Studies

+ +

The classical studies program offers the opportunity for sustained and focused inquiry into the history, literature and culture of the ancient Mediterranean, as well as the impact of classical antiquity on later periods by using a variety of interpretative methods. The program offers students maximum flexibility to chart their course through departmental and related offerings. The particular program for each student is determined in collaboration with the DUS, and should be coherent and lead to viable research projects. Whatever the individual focus, each student’s program must contain eight courses at the 200 level or above (with limited exceptions as described below), including two at the 300 level, plus the junior seminar.

+ +

Five of the eight courses counted toward requirements must be taught by Department of Classics faculty (in general, these courses will have CLA, CLG or LAT as the first course code listing; the DUS can approve exceptions for courses taught by affiliated faculty). Three elective courses may be counted toward the major that are either cross-listed by classics or approved by the DUS as relevant to the student’s program of study. Of the eight courses, one must deal primarily with ancient literature, whether read in the original or in translation; the sequence of CLG/LAT 105-108 may be counted as a single departmental course and used to fulfill this requirement. One course must deal primarily with ancient history; this requirement may be fulfilled by taking any of CLA 216-219 (the Greek and Roman history surveys) or an approved alternative. One course must deal substantially with classical reception or comparative approaches to the ancient world; this requirement may also be fulfilled by study of another language relevant to the student’s interests (Akkadian, Modern Greek, etc., at any course level). Students are otherwise free, in consultation with the DUS, to chart their own path through the department’s offerings.

+ +

Program 2. Ancient History

+ +

The program offers students a pathway to explore the history of ancient Greece and Rome and their relationships with the neighboring cultures of the Near East, Europe and Africa. It is also ideal for students interested in acquiring training in the academic discipline of history while concentrating on the period spanning the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1700 B.C.E.) to the early medieval and Byzantine worlds (ca. 600 C.E.). Although students may specialize in a particular field of history (political, social, economic, cultural), geographic area or historical period of antiquity, the aim of the program is to provide well-rounded training in the field of history, with a focus on ancient history. Each student’s program must contain eight courses at the 200 level or above (with limited exceptions as described below), including two at the 300 level, plus the junior seminar.

+ +

The eight courses taken toward the ancient history track must include one survey course on ancient Greek history (CLA 216 or 217) and one survey course on Roman history (CLA 218 or 219); one course substantially dealing with ancient material culture; and one course on premodern (i.e., pre-1789) history or non-industrial societies beyond Greece and Rome. An additional course that introduces students to the main methods, theories and/or philosophies of history is also strongly encouraged. The remaining elective courses should follow a coherent plan that prepares the student for independent research; ordinarily, any course listed as CLA, CLG or LAT at the 200 level or above will count, and other courses may be approved by the DUS for credit toward the major. One of the courses may be fulfilled by the sequence of CLG/LAT 105–108 or study of another language relevant to the student’s interests at any level. 

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Seminar. During the fall of junior year, all majors take the junior seminar (CLA 340). The course introduces students to different fields of study within the department, including literature, ancient history, ancient culture, linguistics and reception studies. Students will gain experience in the methods of their chosen area(s) of study while acquiring an understanding of the history of the discipline and its place in the 21st century. Students will also acquire the skills necessary to pursue independent work. Students who are abroad during the fall of their junior year may complete the junior seminar during the fall semester of their senior year.

+ +

Junior Independent Work. In the fall term, each student researches and writes a paper of 12–15 pages on a topic of their choosing under the direction of a faculty adviser. The junior seminar will provide guidance in choosing and researching a topic. In the spring term, students undertake a more ambitious research paper of 20–25 pages. Each student again works closely with a member of the faculty on the project, meeting regularly over the course of the term.

+ +

Senior Independent Work. At the end of junior year, majors propose a provisional thesis topic to the DUS along with a list of potential faculty advisers, on the basis of which they are assigned a thesis adviser. The thesis in its final form shall be submitted to the DUS by April 15 (or, when this falls on a weekend, on the following Monday) of senior year.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

A 30-minute oral examination focusing on the thesis and related research is administered during the Senior Comprehensive Examination Period by a committee consisting of the thesis adviser, thesis second reader and DUS.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Travel and study in the Mediterranean are important parts of a classical education. The department regularly organizes break-week trips connected to classes and sponsors students wishing to study and conduct research abroad over the summer. In addition, it encourages interested students to participate in one of the many term-time study abroad programs offered, including those at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.

+
+
+

Certificate in Language and Culture

+

Students in the Classes of 2024, 2025 and 2026 who are pursuing a major other than classics may still demonstrate command of one of the classical languages and cultures by working toward a certificate in Greek or Roman language and culture.

+ +

The requirements are:

+ +
  1. Three CLG or three LAT courses, one of which may be at the 200 level while the others must be at the 300 level.
    2. +
  2. A piece of independent work. This can be satisfied in several ways: (a) by a substantial paper developed from one of the courses taken to fulfill the certificate requirement (this will be in addition to the work required in the course); (b) by a substantial independent paper advised by a member of the classics faculty; or (c) with the agreement of the home department and classics DUS, by a piece of independent work that satisfies the requirements of both classics and the home department. As a substitute for this requirement, students may take either an additional course in their language (CLG or LAT) at the 200- or 300 level, or a CLA course focusing on the culture of their certificate program (Greek or Roman).
    3. +
+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

The classics major prepares students for any career path they wish to pursue, and is well suited to fulfilling requirements for medical and law school admissions, as well as pursuing teacher training through the Program in Teacher Preparation. In addition to medicine, law and education, classics majors have gone on to pursue distinguished careers in the arts, public service, business, finance, politics, academia, journalism and many other fields. Students intending to continue on to graduate work in classics will in most cases need to acquire advanced competence in both Latin and Greek in order to be competitive for admission to Ph.D. programs (though there are now many good options for deepening knowledge after graduation in the form of post-baccalaureate programs). The department is committed to helping students chart a path after graduation by involving its extensive alumni network, and through tailored advising.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Department of Comparative Literature(link is external) invites students to approach literature from a broad, cross-cultural perspective. The curriculum encompasses literatures, languages and cultures from around the world — including those of Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Middle East — as well as interdisciplinary work of many types. While each student in the department is expected to focus their studies on a particular language and literature, an interest in the way different literatures illuminate one another, or enter into dialogue with other disciplines, media or forms of art, is fundamental to our work. Students motivated by a desire to understand literature in the broadest terms, as well as those interested in particular examples of literary comparison, will find an intellectual home in the Department of Comparative Literature.

+ +

The flexibility of the major has always been one of its strong points. With the guidance of the director of undergraduate studies and the junior and senior faculty advisers, each student creates a program of study tailored to their intellectual interests, choosing courses and independent projects that contribute to the whole.

+ +

Graduates successfully pursue many diverse careers, including law, medicine, business, overseas service, computing and technology, international investments and banking, creative writing, publishing and journalism, filmmaking and education at the secondary and university levels. Many comparative literature students have gone on to graduate study in the field and now teach at a wide range of institutions in the United States and abroad.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The Department of Comparative Literature trains students in the analysis and interpretation of texts. Historically, comparative literature was a place where students used linguistic proficiencies in different languages, English among them, to compare literary artifacts in diverse cultures. In addition to English, the proficiencies of most early academics in the discipline were usually in French, Italian, Latin and German. Our students often attain high proficiencies in these languages, but now they and their professors’ specializations reach far beyond this range to include texts in East Asian languages, Semitic languages and classical languages from places outside Europe. Linguistic proficiency nonetheless remains the backbone of the training the department offers.

+ +

We return to the words “texts” and “literary” here because the historical definition of the discipline is now outmoded. Our students still work with literary texts (that is, narrative, drama and poetry), but the discipline has progressed to the consideration of texts that are not primarily “literary” as well. Thus, we train students to analyze Marx’s Capital or Plato’s Timaeus. Or they might look at Baudelaire in the context of artistic criticism he did of Delacroix, for example. As a corollary, then, students learn how to criticize texts of many different types, not only to discern what they say, but also how they say it, and what is at stake in saying it one way rather than another.

+ +

Additionally, students learn how to analyze other cultural objects to interpret not only what is being conveyed, but also how the means by which it is conveyed incorporates different assumptions about the subject in question. In such a context, we find fertile ground for “textual” analysis of music and other performance arts as well.

+ +

Comparative literature departments — and Princeton’s is no exception — have also become productive communities for the consideration of criticism, whether post-structuralist or classical, linguistic or anthropological.

+ +

We train students in all the above approaches to the study of texts, and we have seen increasing interest in work that didn’t originate in Western Europe. Latin American Spanish texts have a high prominence in the discipline and work in Portuguese, both Peninsular and South American, is now prominent in students’ work. We have also seen increasing interest in South Asian texts (notably in Bangla and Urdu).

+ +

Throughout the work students do in comparative literature is a pervasive concern for writing, in both analytical and discursive contexts. Because of the work students do in foreign languages in the major, translation also holds a persistent place in their curricula. Some students choose to pursue creative writing with the Lewis Center for the Arts in combination with their more academic work. The kind of training described above is brought to bear in the students’ independent work, in two substantial papers in their junior year. This culminates in the senior thesis, a polished engagement on a text or set of texts that incorporates multiple techniques previously mentioned.

+ +

 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Language Requirement

+ +

To enter the department, students must be sufficiently knowledgeable in one language other than English to take an upper-level course in it during their junior year.

+ +

Plan to read a second language before graduation. Proficiency in only one non-English language is required for admission to the department. However, students who major in comparative literature are also expected to study at least one other non-English language and to be able to read in the language by the time they graduate. Such language study may take place before or during their years as departmental majors. Some students demonstrate their competency by taking an upper-level course in the literature of that language. Other students gain this competency by taking three terms of language study at Princeton, or two terms and an intensive language course in the summer, or (especially in the case of languages that are no longer spoken) an intensive language course in the summer. A few take a language test administered by the relevant department during the summer.

+ +

Introductory Courses

+ +

Students who wish to major in comparative literature are advised (though not required) to take COM 205-206, HUM 216-219 or TRA 200 in their sophomore year or earlier.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Students in comparative literature select courses from a wide range of offerings throughout the University and are encouraged to construct a program of study to match their individual interests. Nine departmental courses are required of each student, chosen according to the type of comparative work pursued. COM 300, the junior seminar, counts as one of the nine. This course is especially designed to introduce students to the history and methodology of the field as well as to different avenues of comparative study. Majors must take the course in the fall term of their junior year, unless they are studying abroad, in which case the course may be taken in their senior year instead. Two other courses must be taken within the Department of Comparative Literature with core faculty (i.e., listed or cross-listed as a COM course).

+ +

Regardless of the area of study elected, all majors must take four reading-based courses in non-English-language literature departments. These courses must move beyond a primary focus on grammar and vocabulary, and entail study of texts in the language, not in translation. Students in the department have studied language literatures in French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Swahili, Hindi, Persian, Urdu, Turkish, Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Syriac and Armenian. Upper-level courses, generally 300- or 400-level courses, are encouraged, but reading-intensive 200-level courses may be counted.

+ +

The remaining two courses are taken in appropriate departments throughout the University according to the student's area of study. Course selections generally fall into one of the areas described below. Each represents the study of literature in a different comparative context and includes all nine required courses.

+ +

Path A. Comparative work in literatures in at least two languages. Students in this track choose four reading-based courses in non-English-language literature; three courses listed or cross-listed with comparative literature (one of which is COM 300); and two upper-level courses in literature in any other language (including English and courses on readings taught in translation).

+ +

Path B. Comparative work in literature and a traditional textual discipline (that is, in the humanities [e.g., philosophy, art and archaeology, classics or religion] or social sciences [e.g., anthropology, history, psychology, sociology, politics, economics or public policy]). Students in this track choose four reading-based courses in non-English-language literature; three courses listed or cross-listed in comparative literature (one of which is COM 300); and two upper-level courses in the relevant textual discipline.

+ +

Path C. Comparative work in literature and another medium (that is, photography, film, art, art history, architecture or music). Students in this track choose four reading-based courses in non-English-language literature; three courses listed or cross-listed in comparative literature (one of which is COM 300); and two upper-level courses in the relevant medium. Both courses must be in the same medium.

+ +

Path D. Comparative work in literature and regional or ethnic studies (that is, African [AFS], African American [AAS], American [AMS], East Asian [EAP or EAS], European [ECS or EPS], Hellenic [HLS], Judaic [JDS], Latin American [LAS], Latino [LAO], Near Eastern [NES] or South Asian [SAS]). Students in this track choose four reading-based courses in non-English-language literature; three courses listed or cross-listed in comparative literature (one of which is COM 300); and two courses in the relevant region or ethnicity.

+ +

Path E. Comparative work in literary study and the creative arts (that is, creative writing [poetry, the novel, short stories, drama, memoir], screenwriting, translation, dance, theatrical performance, visual arts, film or video). Students choose four reading-based courses in non-English-language literature; three courses listed or cross-listed with comparative literature (one of which is COM 300); and two courses in the relevant creative art. Both courses must be in the same area of study. Students entering the department select this program provisionally. Final admission depends upon the acceptance of the creative thesis proposal by the department and by an adviser from the relevant creative arts program.

+ +

Departmental Distribution Requirement. One course, which may or may not be one of the nine courses taken for the major, must be dedicated in its entirety to historical periods, literature or cultures before 1800 C.E.

+ +

Theory and Methods of Comparative Literature. Theoretical issues naturally arise in the study of comparative literature. They may also function as the main focus of a student's work. Theoretical issues are specifically addressed in two departmental courses: COM 303, Comparative History of Literary Theory and COM 301, Theory and Methods of Comparative Literature: Critical and Literary Theory. Upper-level courses in theory, methodology and criticism are offered by other humanities and social science departments as well.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year. Majors must write two junior papers. The first paper, some 3,000 words in length, will normally involve the close study of a work from one of the non-English-language literatures in which the student has linguistic competence. Its purpose is to develop the student's basic skills as a reader of complex texts. The second paper should be wider in scope, and might serve as the beginnings of a senior thesis. It will normally be some 8,000 words in length.

+ +

Senior Year. Majors must write a senior thesis, normally between 15,000 and 20,000 words, which is comparative in nature and should reflect the student's ability to relate and analyze materials in the area chosen. Creative theses must be accompanied by a substantial critical essay.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

Majors must take the senior departmental examination, which is a written exam to test their ability to analyze texts and make connections among them. The student consults with their senior faculty adviser to select specific titles from a broad reading list, reads them and answers questions based on the student's particular language proficiency and chosen program of study. Students will also be asked to analyze a passage in their primary language.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Summer Study Abroad

+ +

There are numerous opportunities for summer study abroad, some partially supported by University funds. A summer abroad can increase fluency in the language of concentration. It may also be an effective way to satisfy the departmental requirement of acquiring reading knowledge in a second language. For further information about available programs, students should consult Princeton Summer Abroad Study Programs. Some departmental funding is available for summer language study for majors.

+ +

Summer Work Abroad

+ +

Princeton offers some excellent work abroad programs, including Princeton-in-France and the German summer work abroad program, to which qualified students from the department are encouraged to apply. The Office of International Programs also offers a selection of worldwide summer internships for which comparative literature students may be eligible.

+ +

Study and Work Abroad

+ +

The department strongly encourages its students to undertake a semester, a year or a summer abroad, in order to gain fluency in the language of concentration and to pursue further study in its literature and culture. Many opportunities are available for study abroad.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Certificate Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication

+ +

Since majors in comparative literature consider texts from an international and interdisciplinary perspective, and often with an emphasis in the creative arts, questions of translation and intercultural communication often arise. Majors in the department may write translation theses, for instance, or put theoretical problems associated with translation or cross-cultural comparisons at the center of their departmental work. In these cases, they might choose to combine the major with a certificate in the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication.

+ +

Certificates in University Programs

+ +

Students majoring in comparative literature frequently choose to combine their major with certificates from Princeton programs and centers. Majors interested in these certificates should consult with the director of undergraduate studies and the director of the relevant program.

The focus will be firmly on the close reading of particular texts, but discussions will also range freely over large questions: What is a classic, what difference does language make, can we think both about world literature, in Goethe's phrase, and about the importance of national and local loyalties? No easy answers promised, but astonishing adventures in reading guaranteed. + + Staff + +

With computation and computer science now permeating all corners of society and the economy, a computer science education has become a good launching pad for almost any career. Core concepts and skills emphasized in the computer science curriculum include theoretical and quantitative analysis of computation; design/engineering principles of advanced computer systems; and foundations and methods of AI and machine learning. The curriculum provides additional flexibility to explore subdisciplines of computer science (programming languages, formal methods, software engineering, computer graphics, information security), or to branch out into exciting cross-disciplinary investigations (neuroscience and cognitive science, computational biology, information policy, robotics, data science, etc.). Most computer science majors enjoy programming. Quite a few start with zero or minimal background and can enhance their skills while progressing through the curriculum.

+ +

The plan below applies to the Class of 2025 and beyond; the requirements for the Class of 2024 and earlier are available from the Computer Science Department website(link is external) and the archived version of the Undergraduate Announcement.

+ +

Information for First-Year Students. Students with a general interest in the sciences or engineering are encouraged to take COS 126(link is external) in the first year. This provides useful background for applications work in any science or engineering major and preserves the option of later electing a computer science major.

+ +

Prerequisites

+ +

The prerequisites(link is external) are any one of MAT 202/204/217 or EGR 154; COS 126 (or ISC 231–234 or ECE 115); COS 217 and 226. Students should plan to take COS 126 in the first year. COS 217 and COS 226 should be completed before junior year. One or both of these are prerequisites(link is external) for all later computer science courses.

+ +

Departmental Requirements

+ +

Course Requirements: Majors must take at least eight departmental courses on a graded basis. These fall into three categories: foundation, core courses and electives. 

+ +

Foundation

+ +

Students must take COS 240 (Reasoning and Computation), to be completed before the end of junior year.

+ +

Core Courses

+ +

Students must take a total of four courses, one from each of the four categories listed below:

+ +

1. Computer Systems: COS 316 (Principles of Computer System Design) or COS 375 (Computer Architecture and Organization)

+ +

Alternatives:

+ +
  • COS 318 (Operating Systems)
    • +
  • COS 418 (Distributed Systems)
    • +
  • COS 461 (Computer Networks)
    • +

2. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: COS 324 (Introduction to Machine Learning)

+ +

Alternatives:

+ +
  • COS 424 (Fundamentals of Machine Learning)
    • +
  • COS 429 (Computer Vision)
    • +
  • COS 484 (Natural Language Processing)
    • +

3. Theoretical Computer Science: 

+ +

    • +
  • COS 433 (Cryptography)
    • +
  • COS 445 (Networks, Economics, and Computing)
    • +
  • COS 487 (Theory of Computation)
    • +

4. Breadth:  This category contains courses that either explore another subdiscipline beyond Systems/Theory/AIML or provide experience with real-world applications. Students must complete at least one.  

+ +
  • COS 326 (Functional Programming)
    • +
  • COS 333 (Advanced Programming Techniques)
    • +
  • COS 343 (Algorithms for Computational Biology)
    • +
  • COS 426 (Computer Graphics)
    • +
  • COS 432 (Information Security)
    • +
  • COS 436 (Human-Computer Interaction)
    • +
  • COS 448 (Innovating across Technology, Business, and Markets)
    • +

Electives 

+ +

Students must take three COS courses numbered 300 or higher. Alternatively, up to two electives may be chosen from a list of approved courses from other departments (see the department website(link is external) for an up-to-date list).   

+ +

Students should consult with a computer science academic adviser on their course selections once they decide to become computer science majors. Academic advisers(link is external) are listed on the Department of Computer Science webpage.

+ +

Integrated Science Sequence

+ +

An alternative path into the department is through the integrated science curriculum(link is external). Integrated science courses ISC/CHM/COS/MOL/PHY 231/232 offered in the fall semester and ISC/CHM/COS/MOL/PHY 233/234 offered in the spring semester is a double course, meaning that it counts as two courses each semester (out of the four you would normally take). Those courses result in formal credit for introductory chemistry (two semesters), physics (two semesters), computer science (one semester) and molecular biology (one semester). A nontraditional laboratory component is also part of the course, which includes experiments from all of these sciences. For full course descriptions and more information, see the integrated science website(link is external).

+ +

Interdisciplinary Studies

+ +

The pervasive nature of modern computing has introduced many interactions between computer science and other disciplines. Basic preparation in computer science is valuable for a broad variety of careers because of the computer's central role in society. Professionals who understand computers are far more effective in their work. In the past, a large amount of technical preparation was required before interesting applications could be considered; today's undergraduates are able to use computers to study important problems in other disciplines.

+ +

Some possible areas for interdisciplinary study are mathematics, music, art, economics, electrical and computer engineering, molecular biology, neurosciences and linguistics.

+ +

Many Princeton undergraduates view their four years at Princeton as an opportunity to gain an education before immersing themselves in rigorous training for careers in law, business or medicine. Computer science students are no exception. Through the choice of electives, students may create a specialized interdisciplinary program or a broad program with computer science as the core of preprofessional study. The former requires consultation with advisers in the related disciplines to determine what constitutes a reasonable cognate specialization, and the latter is constrained by the requirement of a coherent program of study in the major.

+ +

 

+ +

 

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The key learning goals for a major in computer science are:

+ +
  • Students will be able to understand, modify, debug, refactor and analyze programs in a variety of different programming languages; 
    • +
  • Students will be able to learn new programming languages and computational paradigms they encounter in the future;
    • +
  • Students will be able to read and comprehend technical literature in computer science;
    • +
  • Students will be able to plan and complete a one- or two-term project in an area of computer science of their choice;
    • +
  • Students will be able to identify, isolate and solve important technical subproblems that lead to a solution to a more significant problem;
    • +
  • Students will be able to present technical ideas in computer science clearly, both orally and in written form;
    • +
  • Students will be able to identify and assess related work in their area of study;
    • +
  • Students will demonstrate an ability to work independently in accomplishing all of the above goals.
    • +
+
+
+

Independent Work

+

All A.B. majors will engage in independent work(link is external) supervised by a member of the department. IW projects involve the study and solution of specific problems in or related to computer science. These may arise from varied motivations, such as research questions intrinsic to the field; entrepreneurial activities; software design; policy or ethics issues in the tech world; applications of computer science to other disciplines or societal problems. Many students come up with their own IW topics; others may formulate them with help from faculty advisers.

+ +

In the fall term of junior year, majors must enroll in a Junior Research Workshop (JRW)(link is external), while simultaneously enrolling in a “Methods” 3xx course offered that term. The Methods course and the JRW complement each other and enable students to write a comprehensive proposal for a spring IW project by the end of the fall term, which can be used for a spring IW project. See the department website for details.

+ +

A.B. junior majors then use the spring term to complete their proposed IW project—or, in many cases, embark on a separate research endeavor for the spring term—through one of the following advising structures:

+ +
  1. One-on-One Advising. Students complete a project of their choosing while working one-on-one with a faculty adviser. Students may also work within the context of a faculty research project. Students can explore the Undergraduate Research Topics(link is external) (link is external) for faculty research interests and advisers. 
    2. +
  2. Independent Work Seminars(link is external) (link is external). Students with shared interests around a common theme meet weekly as a group with a faculty adviser. Seminar instructors and themes vary term to term.
    3. +

A.B. senior majors must complete a full-year senior thesis. The senior thesis may be a study in greater depth of one of the subjects considered in junior independent work, or it may deal with another aspect of computer science and its application. Students can explore the Undergraduate Research Topics(link is external) for faculty research interests and advisers.

+ +

The department also offers a curriculum leading to a B.S.E. degree. The primary differences between the A.B. and B.S.E.(link is external) programs are in the University requirements for the degree programs.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

An oral examination, consisting of a defense of the thesis research, will be held in April.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Become a citizen of the world! Computer Science majors(link is external) are allowed and encouraged to study abroad for a semester or year. The Office of International Programs(link is external) (OIP) manages study abroad programs. See the Study Abroad Program(link is external) page for specific information.

+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

In the contemporary global configuration, East Asia is a center of culture, economics, science and technology. The Department of East Asian Studies(link is external) (EAS) offers a wide range of undergraduate classes at the highest standards of academic, linguistic and cultural competence focused on China, Korea and Japan. While the EAS major allows in-depth study and first-hand experience of East Asia, the minor programs in Chinese, Japanese or Korean language encourage students to combine their interests in East Asian languages and civilizations with other majors they pursue at Princeton.

+ +

EAS students complete coursework in literature, history, anthropology, media and cultural studies of China, Korea and Japan. They engage in both transnational and local perspectives, and their work spans premodern and contemporary contexts. The Chinese, Japanese and Korean language programs offer instruction from elementary to highly advanced levels. All language classes are taught exclusively by professional instructors and operate entirely in the primary language in terms of reading materials, classroom discussion and assignments. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the Princeton summer language programs Princeton in Beijing (Beijing, China), Princeton in Ishikawa (Kanazawa, Japan) and Princeton in Korea (Seoul, South Korea). 

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The Department of East Asian Studies provides students with rigorous training in the study of China, Japan and Korea. The East Asian studies major builds on two pillars: rigorous language training that takes students beyond the third year in Chinese, Japanese or Korean, and diverse content courses that allow students to explore themes from ancient Chinese philosophy to Japanese anime to Korean women’s history. Its interdisciplinary curriculum is designed to provide a balance between broad-based knowledge of the region and deeper expertise in the languages and cultures of one or more of the region’s territories. The goal is for our students to gain proficiency with the challenging linguistic and analytical tools needed to conduct conscientious research, as well as to learn about the critical and theoretical models through which the region’s history and culture are interpreted. The core of this training is developed through guided coursework, of which language classes form a central part, and substantial independent work completed under the close auspices of faculty advisers.

+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Students seeking advanced placement should consult the director of undergraduate studies. All first-year students are welcome to take a language placement exam in Chinese, Japanese or Korean to determine their language proficiency in the summer before matriculation. 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+
  1. One year of language study in one East Asian language
    2. +
  2. One 200-level EAS course
    3. +
+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Majors are required to achieve proficiency in one East Asian language through the third-year level, and take eight departmental courses. The departmentals must include the junior seminar (EAS 300); at least two of the five transnational courses (HIS/EAS 207, HIS/EAS 208, HUM/EAS/COM 233, HUM/EAS/COM 234, or EAS 229); and at least one course on premodern East Asia. A single course may not be used to satisfy two requirements, with the exception of HIS 207 and HUM 233, either of which may be used to satisfy the requirement of a course on premodern East Asia. A minimum of six of the eight departmentals must be EAS-prefixed courses. The remaining two may be language courses at or above the 300 level (after the three-year proficiency requirement is fulfilled), or any language courses in a second East Asian language.  

+ +

Departmental Course Requirements

+ +

Eight departmental courses fulfilling the following requirements:

+ +

Six EAS-prefix courses, which must include:

+ +
  1. The junior seminar (EAS 300) as an introductory methods survey course, generally taken fall of junior year.
    2. +
  2. Two of the following transnational courses: +
    • History of East Asia to 1800 (HIS/EAS 207)
      • +
    • East Asia since 1800 (HIS/EAS 208)
      • +
    • Contemporary East Asia (EAS 229)
      • +
    • East Asian Humanities I: The Classical Foundations (HUM/EAS/COM 233)
      • +
    • East Asian Humanities II: Tradition and Transformations (HUM/EAS/COM 234)
      • +
    3. +
  3. At least one course on premodern East Asia.  +
    • Note: Either HIS 207 or HUM 233, when taken in fulfillment of a transnational course (2), may also be used simultaneously toward the premodern requirement (3), however, the course will only count toward one of the six required EAS-prefix departmentals.
      • +
    4. +

Two additional courses, which may be:

+ +
  1. EAS courses, including courses cross-listed with EAS.
    2. +
  2. Cognate courses approved by the director of undergraduate studies
    3. +
  3. Language courses at or above the 300 level (after the three-year proficiency requirement is fulfilled).
    4. +
  4. Any courses in a second East Asian language.
    5. +
+
+
+

Language Requirements

+

Language proficiency through the third year in one East Asian language.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year

+ +

In the fall term the student participates in the departmental junior seminar (EAS 300) and also writes a junior independent work. In the spring, the student writes a second junior independent work under the supervision of an appropriate faculty member. At the end of junior year, the student begins to draft a proposal for the senior thesis.

+ +

Senior Year

+ +

Each student prepares a senior thesis in consultation with an appropriate member of the faculty. The senior thesis represents the culmination of the undergraduate curriculum. It should be an original contribution to scholarship on East Asia, based at least in part on source materials in the student's language of specialization.

+ +

Scholarship aid is available for senior thesis research abroad. Students should review funding opportunities listed in the Student Activities Funding Engine (SAFE), and may also want to consult the websites of the Program in East Asian Studies (EAP) and the Office of the Dean of the College (ODOC) for further information.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

At the end of the spring term, the student appears before a faculty committee for an oral defense of the thesis. The defense will take the form of a conversation between the student and a faculty committee, and it will center on the senior independent work, as well as larger questions in the field of East Asian studies that inform it. Students will be asked to reflect on the process of their research: the original source of interest in their research topic; the process of fleshing out the architecture of their project; and difficulties and creative discoveries of their research and writing. The conversation will begin in the students’ primary research language: Korean, Japanese or Chinese.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

The Department of East Asian Studies offers varied opportunities for overseas study in East Asia. Major and non-major East Asian language students are encouraged to take advantage of intensive summer or year-long language study and/or internships. The programs hosted by East Asian studies are the intensive summer language programs, Princeton in Beijing (Chinese), Princeton in Ishikawa (Japanese), and Princeton in Korea (Korean). Upon graduation, students will normally be prepared to begin graduate work at a higher level because of such language experience and training. The department also encourages students to participate in extended internships or study programs in East Asia.

+ +

Scholarship aid is available to majors and non-majors for both summer language study and senior thesis research abroad. Students should review funding opportunities listed in the Student Activities Funding Engine (SAFE), and may also want to consult the websites of the Program in East Asian Studies (EAP), the Office of International Programs (OIP) and the Office of the Dean of the College (ODOC) for further information.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Certificates in Chinese, Japanese and Korean language and culture will transition to minors beginning with the Class of 2025. Please consult the minor program offering sections for updated information on the Chinese, Japanese and Korean language minors.

+ +

Information about the former certificate requirements can be found in the archived version of the Undergraduate Announcement.

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB)(link is external) emphasizes research and teaching in environmental biology — the science of nature and its interface with humanity. This integrative discipline encompasses evolution (the changing form and function of populations over time), ecology (interactions between organisms and their environment), behavior (how organisms act and respond to stimuli) and conservation (the effort to sustain healthy, natural ecosystems and biodiversity in an age when humanity dominates the biosphere). These areas of inquiry are intertwined with each other, linked to many other fields in the natural and social sciences, and approached using a range of quantitative techniques. These features make EEB a uniquely interdisciplinary department that supports a wide range of student interests. Students who are curious and passionate about the living world — from molecules to the biosphere, from disease and physiology to evolution in the Anthropocene — are encouraged to explore EEB.

EEB’s curriculum and culture strive to engage students and prepare them for a wide range of trajectories. This program is built around three foundational principles: that life can only be understood in the context of ecological and evolutionary processes; that quantitative thinking and analytical skills are indispensable tools for understanding these processes; and that the vast scope of what remains to be discovered necessitates the ability to pose incisive questions and test new hypotheses. Students majoring in EEB are prepared for the interdisciplinary nature of the field through prerequisites in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and statistics. Students then gain exposure to the major focal areas of EEB through coursework, laboratory sections and independent research. The departmental plan of study aims to impart command of the fundamentals and core conceptual frameworks of the discipline through required courses in evolution (EEB 309) and ecology (EEB 321), and majors must complete six additional departmental courses, including at least one in two of the following areas: behavior, disease, conservation and mathematical/computational biology (see detailed information under “Program of Study”). In addition to these fundamentals, EEB offers hands-on courses in both field-based (locally and internationally) and laboratory-based techniques, enabling students to participate in knowledge production and equipping them with an understanding of both the power and the limitations of modern research approaches.

+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Advanced placement will be granted to students who received a 5 on the Biology AP exam. Nevertheless, all students planning to major in EEB must take EEB 211 during their first year or sophomore year.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology requires the following prerequisites, which should normally be completed by the end of sophomore year. Prerequisite courses may not be taken using the pass/D/fail grading option.

+ +
  • Two terms of introductory biology: EEB 211 and either EEB/MOL 214 or EEB/MOL 215)
    • +
  • Mastery of calculus to the level of MAT 103 or above, or advanced placement (an AP score of 5 on the BC test)
    • +
  • Two terms of introductory chemistry or equivalent (for the Class of 2027 and beyond, the equivalent is an AP score of 5 plus CHM 202 or 215, or equivalent on the department’s placement test)
    • +
  • The first term of introductory physics (or the equivalent on the department’s placement test)
    • +
  • A statistics course. SML 201 is preferred, but the following courses will fulfill the requirement: ORF 245, POL 345, PSY 251, ECO 202, SPI 200, SPI 332. It is best to fulfill the statistics requirement before junior year, but it must be fulfilled by the end of the fall term senior year.
    • +

 

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Students must successfully complete a minimum of eight upper-level departmental courses, at least six of which must be EEB courses (up to two courses may be offered by other departments). See the department website for a full list of courses.

+ +

All EEB majors must take EEB 309 and EEB 321 (students are encouraged to take these courses in the fall of their junior year or earlier) as well as one course in two of the following areas:

+ +
  • Behavior and Organismal Biology: EEB 313, EEB 314, EEB 329, EEB 403, *EEB 404, *EEB 406
    • +
  • Disease Ecology:  EEB 304, EEB 327, EEB 328, EEB 351
    • +
  • Conservation Biology:  EEB 308, *EEB 380, EEB 417
    • +
  • Mathematical and Computational Biology:  EEB 324, EEB 325
    • +

* Offered as part of semester abroad program (described below).

+ +

For the remaining departmentals, students may select any EEB course or those offered by other departments as follows. The first semester of organic chemistry and biochemistry (MOL 345) can each be counted as a departmental course (the second semester of organic chemistry will not count). Other MOL courses might count with preapproval from the director of undergraduate studies (DUS) via the undergraduate program administrator (UPA).  With preapproval from the DUS via the UPA, students may take one science-relevant course on policy or society. 

+ +

Only Princeton courses can count as departmentals; the one exception is for preapproved courses taken during a study abroad term, but the letter grades will not transfer. No course taken pass/D/fail can be counted as a departmental or to satisfy requirements of the major. The minimum grade for a course to count as a departmental is C-. 

+ +

Integrated Biology Sequence: Students who have completed the two-year sequence must meet with the EEB director of undergraduate studies to discuss placement in upper-level EEB courses.

+ +

Premedical Students: Students interested in medical school should consider taking EEB 314 Comparative Physiology, which will count toward one of the four required areas of study. In addition, medical schools require two terms of physics; physics can be delayed to senior year if necessary. The health profession advisers recommend that students who wish to study abroad, especially in EEB’s field semesters, should do so. They recommend contacting them early to formulate a plan of study that allows students to fulfill the premedical prerequisites and allows them to study abroad during spring of their junior year.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work:  Early in the fall semester, students will attend periodic meetings on Tuesday evenings that will include presentations by EEB faculty members on their research and on opportunities for senior independent work. After the faculty presentations, students will identify those faculty with whom they are interested in working. If the faculty member agrees to take on a particular student, together they will develop a plan of study.

+ +

During the second half of the fall term, students participate in a tutorial in which they work closely with a faculty member to address a problem and write a first junior paper. In the spring semester, students carry out a program of independent research with their faculty adviser, which can include empirical or theoretical work. Students will summarize this research project in a second junior paper, which can be structured either as a research project, a literature review or a research proposal. The second junior paper is due in early May.

+ +

Senior Independent Work: During the fall of junior year, each student selects a senior thesis adviser (see above). The adviser and the student choose a research project that the student generally pursues during the summer preceding senior year and both terms of the senior year. The research project can involve primarily laboratory, field, data mining, theoretical or library study that will be written and presented as a senior thesis.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

A one-hour oral examination, consisting of a defense of the thesis research and general questions in the biological sciences, will be held in May.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Special Features of the Plan of Study. EEB offers two tropical field study programs: a semester in Panama, and a semester in Kenya. Four courses, built around experiential learning, are taken in sequence at each location typically during the spring of junior year. Please note that seniors who are making good progress with their thesis are encouraged to consider fulfilling their last two courses in the spring of senior year by attending the first half of the semester in Kenya or Panama. Seniors who choose to do this would return to campus at spring break to complete the senior thesis. Details of these programs can be found on the department's website.

+ +

Princeton’s Tropical Field Programs. Students interested in learning about or undertaking research in the tropics have a number of options.

+ +

1. Panama. The department offers a spring term in Panama in conjunction with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Students take four intensive three-week courses in sequence, beginning with an introduction of key concepts in tropical ecology and conservation. The program also includes courses on coral reefs, parasitology and anthropology (focusing on Pre-Columbian peoples and their land-use practices).

+ +

2. Kenya. This four-course program on tropical biology and sustainability, also taught in three-week segments, takes place at Princeton University's Mpala Research Centre in central Kenya and other sites in Kenya, in collaboration with scientists there, EEB faculty, other appropriate faculty from Princeton University and faculty from Columbia University. Columbia students also participate in the program. The courses delve into the ecology of savannas, conservation in Africa, the natural history of mammals, tropical agriculture, engineering, and field hydrology and paleoecology.

+ +

3. Other. Individual students are welcome to pursue other independent field opportunities, with scientists from the Smithsonian Institution and the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, or other research institutions, such as the School for Field Studies at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, or James Cook University in Australia.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Program in Teacher Preparation. As the need for qualified science teachers increases, some students may wish to earn a teaching certificate. Working with the director of undergraduate studies and the teacher preparation program, an appropriate course of study can be arranged.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

Economic analysis plays a central role in many disciplines within the social sciences. It has three main branches: macroeconomics provides the language and tools for analyzing economic policy and aggregate economic outcomes; microeconomics offers a framework for understanding interactions among individuals or organizations and the role that incentives and information play in these interactions; and econometrics confronts macroeconomic and microeconomic theories with data. The economics department trains students in each of these three branches of economics and enables them to apply this understanding to problems within one or more subfields of economics (such as monetary economics, international finance, development economics, industrial organization, public finance, health economics, environmental economics, political economy, labor economics and international trade).

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The department expects undergraduate majors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes. Students should:

+ +
  1. Command the language of all three branches: macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics.
    2. +
  2. Understand the tools of all three branches sufficiently to be able to follow and participate in policy debates.
    3. +
  3. Master the tools of at least one of these branches to the extent necessary to understand the existing literature.
    4. +
  4. Understand the institutional context and applications relevant to at least one subfield of economics or develop advanced training in the tools of one of the main three branches.
    5. +
  5. Use this knowledge of methodological tools and applications to conduct original research.
    6. +
+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Students who scored 5 on the AP microeconomics exam are exempted from ECO 100. Students who scored 5 on the AP macroeconomics exam are exempted from ECO 101. Students who scored 5 on the AP statistics exam are exempted from ECO 202. (Note: Exemption from ECO 100 and ECO 101 will be accorded to students who pass the British A-levels with a grade of A, and to those who earn a 7 on the higher-level International Baccalaureate.)

+ +

Students exempted from ECO 100, ECO 101 and/or ECO 202 may still benefit from taking these courses, which provide important basic materials for the study of economics.

+ +

 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

To enter the department, a student must complete the prerequisite courses ECO 100, ECO 101, ECO 202 (or equivalent), and MAT 175 (or equivalent) by the end of sophomore year and earn a letter grade of C or better in each course. MAT 201 or EGR 156 can be substituted for MAT 175.

+ +

To satisfy the statistics prerequisite, ECO 202 can be substituted with (a) ORF 245 or (b) POL 345 in combination with POL 346. POL 345 alone will not count as a substitute for ECO 202. PSY 251, SPI 200 and SOC 301 will not be accepted.

+ +

Also note that the statistics prerequisite cannot be satisfied with a summer course taken after the student has begun studies at Princeton except in highly unusual circumstances approved by the executive director of undergraduate studies, Professor Smita Brunnermeier (smita@princeton.edu(link sends email)).

+ +

It is highly recommended that students who wish to take math-track econometrics (ECO 312) or upper-level finance certificate courses (such as ECO 462, ECO 465 and ECO 466), or pursue graduate studies in economics and finance take MAT 201 and MAT 202 instead of one semester of MAT 175 or EGR 156. Both MAT 201 and MAT 202 should be taken for a letter grade by this subset of students.

+ +

A meeting for sophomores interested in joining the department will be announced in the spring. Under-level students are welcome to discuss department requirements with the director of undergraduate studies. Students considering studying abroad are urged to meet with the director of undergraduate studies at the earliest opportunity in their first year.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

General Requirements

+ +

The department requires majors to complete, and pass on a graded basis, eight courses:  three core courses and five other elective departmentals.

+ +

Furthermore, students must have a departmental average of at least a C.

+ +

Note: The calculation of the departmental average is described in Departmental Average(link is external). The treatment of failed courses is described in Advancement to Senior Standing(link is external).

+ +
Core Courses
+ +

All majors must pass, on a graded basis, core courses in microeconomics (ECO 300 or 310), macroeconomics (ECO 301 or ECO 311) and econometrics (ECO 302 or ECO 312). These courses must be completed during or before junior year. Each of the three core courses is offered in two versions to accommodate different levels of preparation in mathematics: ECO 300, ECO 301 and ECO 302 require MAT 175; ECO 310 and 311 require MAT 201, and ECO 312 requires MAT 201 + MAT 202.

+ +

Qualified students are encouraged to take the more mathematical versions of our core courses. It is not necessary to take all three core courses in the same version.

+ +

Other Departmentals

+ +

In addition to the three core courses, majors must pass, on a graded basis, five other departmental courses. Departmentals can be any 300-, 400-, or 500-level economics courses, or an approved cognate (see Cognates).

+ +

Students planning a senior thesis with empirical emphasis are strongly encouraged to take ECO 313; students planning a theoretical senior thesis are strongly encouraged to take ECO 317 and/or ECO 418.

+ +
Cognates
+ +

Economics majors are allowed to count a maximum of two courses from other departments as cognates. These courses must have substantial economics content. A course with an economics cross-listing (indicated by an ECO 3XX, ECO 4XX or ECO 5XX number in its first or second listing) counts as a regular departmental, not as a cognate. Courses that will be automatically recognized by TigerHub(link is external) as cognates are listed below. No application is necessary for these courses.

Departmental Tracks

+

Program in Political Economy Track

+ +

The department offers a Program in Political Economy for economics majors interested in studying issues at the intersection of these two fields. Program participants meet all the general requirements of economics majors, and, in addition: (1) complete two politics courses at any level before entering the program; (2) complete three 300-level (or higher) politics courses during junior and senior years; and (3) conduct junior independent work with a political economy component. Politics courses approved as economics cognates may also count toward the program’s requirements. Admission to the program takes place at the beginning of junior year, in consultation with the political economy adviser in economics. A student who participates in this program is an economics major and is subject to all the requirements of the economics department. Majors who successfully complete the program’s requirements will receive a departmental attestation.

+ +
Requirements
+ +

To enter the program, the student should satisfy the prerequisites for majoring in both the politics and the economics departments by the end of sophomore year. This means students entering the program must have completed ECO 100 and 101, MAT 175 or MAT 201, ECO 202 (statistics) and two politics courses (at any level) on a graded basis. In addition to the two politics prerequisites, a student in the PPE must complete three politics departmentals, i.e., politics courses in the 300 level or higher, on a graded basis. One of these, upon approval of the political economy adviser, can be a politics-related course from a department other than politics or economics. Politics courses are not included in the student's departmental average (unless a course has been approved as an economics cognate). 

+ +

Because of these additional requirements, a PPE student may want to count one or two of the politics departmentals as economics cognates. Approval of cognates is subject to the same rules as for other economics majors. Economics cognates are approved by Professor Smita Brunnermeier and under no circumstances is approval given retroactively. POL 347, POL 349, POL 352 and POL 385 are automatically approved as economics cognates and do not need a separate application/approval. Infrequently, and only with advance approval, an economics course can be counted toward the politics course requirement of the PPE; contact the political economy adviser, Professor Thomas Fujiwara, at fujiwara@princeton.edu.

+ +

A student in the political-economic track has the same junior and senior independent work requirements as other economics majors, with one exception. Political Economy majors are required to write a junior paper with sufficient political economy content, as judged by the adviser. Students are also encouraged but are not required to write a senior thesis that is related to political economy.

+ +

More information is available by contacting the political economy adviser, Professor Thomas Fujiwara, at fujiwara@princeton.edu.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work and Senior Thesis

+ +

Independent work is designed to afford majors the opportunity to identify and explore their research interests in depth. Students are expected to develop a carefully reasoned exposition that critically analyzes a problem using basic principles of economics. Juniors complete a year-long research project, which consists of a research prospectus submitted in December and a final paper submitted in April. The senior thesis is expected to be more extensive, with a topic of greater scope and correspondingly broader analysis and interpretation. Further details, from the assignment of advisers to the final deadlines, are available in the junior independent work and senior thesis sections of the department's website.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The senior comprehensive examination is a written exam that covers the department's required courses (intermediate microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics). The senior comprehensive exam grade will appear on the student's transcript.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Potential economics majors who expect to study abroad for one or two semesters must plan well ahead. Because the department only rarely permits core courses to be taken abroad, and because core courses may not be postponed to senior year, potential economics majors planning study abroad must complete the appropriate core courses in their sophomore year. It is almost never feasible to spend a semester abroad in the senior year.

+ +

Economics courses taken abroad may be preapproved as departmentals by the director of undergraduate studies, ordinarily up to one per semester. Plans for junior independent work must also be approved in advance.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

Graduate study in economics requires special preparation and advance planning, starting as early as the first year. Students contemplating graduate study in economics should see the director of undergraduate studies as early as possible. Preparation for graduate school should include the following: the more mathematical versions of the core courses (ECO 310, ECO 311 and ECO 312); two years of calculus (up through MAT 202, MAT 204 or MAT 218); an upper-level mathematics course such as MAT 320; operations research courses such as ORF 309, ORF 311 or ORF 405; and advanced econometrics or economic theory courses such as ECO 313, ECO 317 or ECO 418. Students may find the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics or the Program in Optimization and Quantitative Decision Science an interesting option. It is not necessary to be an economics major to enter a graduate economics program, but the economics courses listed above are highly recommended. Graduate courses in economics (500-level) are open to qualified undergraduates. These courses are very demanding and must be started in the fall term. Taking one of these courses can be useful for students who intend to enter an economics graduate program, because it begins the student's advanced training, gives the student a taste of graduate school and provides evidence during the admissions process of the student's ability to do advanced work in economics.

Courses

+
+ + +

+ ECO 100 - Introduction to Microeconomics + + Fall/Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources. The subject of this course is microeconomics, which examines the decision making of individuals and firms with regard to consumption, production, and allocation of good and services in a market system. We examine the benchmark "perfectly competitive" market setting as well as market settings that are not perfectly competitive. We discuss the appropriate role of government in addressing these "market failures". Two one-hour lectures, and one precept. + + K. Noonan, L. Boustan + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 101 - Introduction to Macroeconomics + + Fall/Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ The theory, and some of the evidence, of how and why national economies fluctuate, with periods of boom and bust, and periods of high and low inflation. Substantial emphasis is given to fiscal policy and monetary policy and the ensuing recessions in the US and abroad. Attention is also paid to international economic issues and to problems of economic growth. Special attention will be paid to the effects and implications of the pandemic and its aftermath for the economy and for policy. Two lectures, one precept. + + H. Zhao, R. Rogerson + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 202 - Statistics and Data Analysis for Economics + + Fall/Spring + QCR + +

+ + + +

+ ECO 311 - Macroeconomics: A Mathematical Approach + + Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ This course examines the determinants of economic growth, business cycle fluctuations, and the conduct of monetary and fiscal policy. The first part of the course develops a framework for the analysis of households' consumption and savings behavior and firms' production decisions, and uses that to analyze long-run growth and financial crises. The second part of the course extends that analysis to examine business cycle fluctuations, including inflation, unemployment. Current issues in macroeconomic and financial policy are discussed throughout. Prerequisites: MAT 201 or ECO 201, or instructor permission. Two lectures, one precept. + + C. Mantovani + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 313 - Econometric Applications + + Spring + QCR + +

+ +
+ This course provides hands-on experience in econometric analysis designed to help students to acquire the skills necessary to carry out their own empirical analyses in economics. Various aspects of empirical research in economics will be covered, including development of testable economic models, appropriate use of data, identification and causal inference, and specification and techniques for estimation of econometric models. Prerequisites: 302 or 312; and calculus. Two lectures, one precept. + + Z. Bleemer + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 315 - Topics in Macroeconomics + + Not offered this year + SA + +

+ +
+ By extending ECO 300-level macroeconomics, we develop alternative macroeconomic frameworks with financial frictions to understand business cycles, financial crises and public policy. The lecture begins with a historical overview of financial crises and basic financial accelerator models which emphasizes the interaction between borrowing constraint, asset prices and aggregate production. We then introduce financial intermediaries and government to study banking crisis, credit policy and macro prudential policy. Two 90-minute lectures, one precept. + + N. Kiyotaki + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 317 - The Economics of Uncertainty + + Fall + SA + +

Leonard + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 326 - Economics of the Internet and Artificial Intelligence: The Digital Revolution + + Fall + SA + +

+ +
+ Using applied microeconomic theory and case studies, this course examines the impact of digital technology on markets. In a connected market, information is freely and instantly available to all participants. We ask how these features affect the way markets function. Topics include the economics of platform markets and multisided markets, the impact of the internet on the news media, education, health care and new industries, such as big-data driven industries, social networks, technological innovation and intellectual property, internet security, privacy and other regulatory issues. + + S. Bhatt + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 327 - Firm Competition and Strategy: A Mathematical Approach + + Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ This course considers firms, markets and competition. We will study the theory of industrial organization, focusing on models of the way firms make decisions and compete and the impact of those decisions on market outcomes such as prices, quantities, the type of products offered and social welfare. This is a more math-focused version of ECO 321. For most topics considered, we will write down and solve a model of firm behavior, before considering real-world examples of the phenomenon the model seeks to analyze. We will use the examples to assess the model's ability to capture real-world outcomes. + + K. Ho + +

The choice of the country or region, and of the economic problem, will change from year to year. Prerequisites depend on topic. Two 90-minute lectures. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 372 - Economics of Europe + (also EPS 342) + + Fall + SA + +

+ +
+ Europe is at a crossroads. Political and economic integration in the European Union (EU) exceeds levels reached in the rest of the world. Economic integration affects trade, migration, agriculture, competition, regions, energy and money. Most euro area economies have been struggling with interlocking crises involving debt, banking and growth, which challenge the viability of monetary union. The EU is now facing a migration crisis. This course studies economic integration in Europe, the ongoing crises, and economic challenges facing EU member countries. It uses economic analysis to study policy issues.

+ ECO 467 - Institutional Finance, Trading, and Markets + + Spring + +

+ +
+ The way in which financial markets work and securities are traded can often not be reconciled with the notion of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market. In this course, we try to account for this fact and cover important theoretical concepts and recent developments in market microstructure, asset pricing under asymmetric information, financial intermediation, and behavioral finance. Topics include market efficiency, market making, financial regulation, asset price bubbles, herding, and liquidity crises. Prerequisites: 300 or 310. + + M. Lee + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 468 - Behavioral Finance + + Fall + +

+ +
+ This course discusses how inefficiencies arise due to psychology and limits to arbitrage. The psychology of investors shapes their preferences and may impair judgment. Whether these psychological factors have an impact on financial markets ultimately depends on arbitrageurs' ability to fight against mispricing. These issues will be covered through lectures and exercises that will foster discussions about cognitive illusions and speculative bubbles. Prerequisite: 300 or 310. 362 recommended. + + N. Cox + +
+ + + +

Discussions combine analysis of historical trends and recent events with insights from practical experience in Asian markets. Particular focus is devoted to China and Japan. The course explicitly considers China's gradual shift toward a capital market-based financial system and prospects for the development of the renminbi into an international currency. + + J. de Swaan + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 493 - Financial Crises + + Spring + +

+ +
+ This course will use economic theory and empirical evidence to study the causes of financial crises and the effectiveness of policy responses to these crises. Particular attention will be given to some of the major economic and financial crises in the past century and to the crisis that began in August 2007. Prerequisite: 202 or equivalent, and 310. + + C. Wilkins + +
+ + + +

+ ECO 494 - Chinese Financial and Monetary Systems + + Fall + SA + +

+ +
+ With its rapid economic growth in the past three decades, China already has the world's second largest economy. Meanwhile its financial markets are also being quickly liberalized and integrated with the rest of the world. As the current trend continues, there are growing interests to learn and understand the workings of China's financial and monetary systems.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

In the Department of English(link is external), students read widely across the genres and periods of British, American and Anglophone literature and explore approaches to literary study with a distinguished, internationally renowned faculty. The department's ranks include historicists and formalists, theorists and poets, and postcolonialists and feminists; the faculty teach not only poetry, prose and drama, but film, music, art, architecture and technology. The department is united by a passion for works of the imagination and for thinking about what they mean and the difference they make in the world.

+ +

The department offers courses that cover more than two millennia of literature and culture, in settings ranging from large lectures to small seminars to one-on-one advising. A typical program of study embraces new and experimental writing, important rediscoveries and the most hallowed texts of the Western literary tradition, the "news that stays news." The department cultivates a common critical vocabulary and joins in debating enduring questions about art, language and society. The junior year begins with a diverse array of junior seminars, which couple the study of a specific subject with methodological training in critical reading and writing. Juniors and seniors pursue independent work on subjects of their choosing in collaboration with the faculty. The department also encourages majors who wish to pursue interdisciplinary work through certificate programs and minors.

+ +

English majors graduate as incisive readers, cogent thinkers and persuasive writers. They carry with them a lasting ability to take informed pleasure in all forms of literature, in the process of writing and in the meanings and powers of culture. Graduates go on to become leaders in such fields as education, law, medicine, journalism, business, politics and the creative arts. Simply put, learning to read closely and write fluently — the twin pillars of the discipline — are among the most valuable skills graduates can bring to the world's work.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Courses in the Department of English enable students to develop crucial transferable skills, including:

+ +
  • Analytical, critical and interpretive skills — students develop these faculties through close attention to the structures of arguments, specific aspects of language and expression, and conceptual synthesis.
    • +
  • Excellent writing — students develop the ability to communicate in clear, efficient and elegant prose, and to write deliberately with a specific audience in mind.
    • +
  • The ability to read closely and carefully, to attend to historical, rhetorical and grammatical aspects of English.
    • +
  • Attention to translation — many students work with texts in other languages, comparing them with their English translations, to comprehend how English relates, stylistically and historically, to materials in other languages.
    • +
  • Research skills that will enrich and improve these reading and writing skills — for instance, students acquire tools and methods for archival research, to understand the history of books and book production, how to read data and various modes of expression and interpretation, and the histories of aesthetics and literary criticism.
    • +
  • The ability to understand, engage and assess relevant critical work (secondary sources that comprise the discipline or interdisciplinary fields like American studies, African American studies, Asian American studies, etc.).
    • +
  • The exercise of these skills with an understanding of historical developments of English-language literatures, demonstrating an ability to situate a text, movement or style in relation to broader aspects of period or genre.
    • +
  • The exercise of these skills with an understanding of how particular English-language literatures and theories address, and are implicated in, historical operations of power and empire.
    • +
  • The ability to propose a subject for sustained research, analysis or critical interpretation, and to see the project to effective completion.
    • +
  • The ability to recognize, use and assess a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives.
    • +

In sum: students develop the ability to compose thoughtful, cogent, compelling and deliberate analytical writing, supported by careful consideration of evidence and informed by a comprehensive understanding of how language is implicated in questions of history, culture, aesthetic value and power.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

There are no specific prerequisite courses for the major in English, but prospective majors should take at least one course in English in the first and second years.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

English majors must take a total of 10 courses: the Junior Seminar (ENG 300), one designated course in Literary and Cultural History (LCH), and eight departmental courses. The junior seminar is a topical introduction to research methods in the discipline and prepares students for their independent work. Literary and Cultural History (LCH) courses ask questions about tradition and transmission over longer periods, and provide background for more specialized study. 

+ +

Distribution Requirements

+ +

Departmental distribution requirements ensure breadth in each major's program of study. Everyone must take at least one course in each of the following areas:

+ +
  • Literary and Cultural History (LCH)
    • +
  • Literature and Culture before 1700 (pre-1700)
    • +
  • Literature and Culture from 1700–1900 (1700–1900)
    • +
  • Literature and Culture from 1900–present (post-1900)
    • +
  • Difference and Diversity (D&D)
    • +
  • Theory and Criticism (T&C)
    • +

Each semester, the department offers a wide variety of courses in each distribution area, and a full list is available on the department website. A single course cannot be used to satisfy two distribution requirements simultaneously. In total: There are six required distributions, plus the junior seminar (ENG 300), plus three additional English courses, for the 10 required courses for the major.

+ +

A few rules regarding departmental courses:

+ +
  • Majors may not take English courses on a pass/D/fail (P/D/F) basis. This includes cross-listed courses, even if English is not the home department.
    • +
  • Students who study abroad may count up to two courses taken abroad as departmental courses. The exception to this is the English department's UCL semester: students may count two classes plus the Princeton seminar.
    • +
  • Cross-listed courses do not count against the Rule of 12 as long as the home department is not English.
    • +
  • +

    The Rule of 12. A student in the A.B. program is limited to 12 one-term courses (plus independent work) in a given department, plus up to two departmental prerequisites taken during the first year or sophomore year. Students who exceed the 31-course requirement for graduation may exceed the Rule of 12 by as many courses (e.g., if you take 32 courses total, you can exceed the rule of 12 by one course). For most English majors, this means only 12 courses primarily designated as English courses (ENG courses or cross-listed courses where ENG comes first—e.g., ENG 327/GSS 332). Departmental cognates do not count against the Rule of 12.

    +
    • +
+
+
+

Departmental Tracks

+

Tracks and Certificate Programs

+ +

Tracks in Creative Writing and Theater. The English department has many majors with a strong interest in creative writing and theater, and offers special programs for students pursuing certificates in those closely related subjects.

+ +
  • Creative Writing: Students accepted to the certificate program in creative writing may cognate two CWR courses as departmental courses in English and may substitute a thesis in CWR for the thesis in English.
    • +
  • +

    Theater: Students accepted to the certificate program in theater may cognate two THR courses as departmental courses in English.

    +
    • +

Certificate Programs. English encourages students with interdisciplinary interests to bring them to the department, and to pursue connections with literary and cultural studies. Students who will receive a certificate in another discipline, and who can show (in their coursework or independent work) vital connections with their studies in English, may count one course in that discipline toward their studies in English, by permission of the director of undergraduate studies.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

The Junior Seminar (ENG 300)

+ +

The JRS is a required introduction to the methods of research and the arts of criticism that must be taken in the fall of junior year. During the sophomore sign-ins, students are placed into one of four seminars at Princeton. The junior seminar instructor advises each member of the seminar on class selection for the spring.

+ +

The completed junior paper takes the form of one 20–30-page JP, which is begun in conjunction with the junior seminar and which students complete in the spring semester, continuing the advising established during the junior seminar for the student's independent work.

+ +

The Senior Thesis

+ +

Theses are 60–75 pages in length, on a topic chosen in collaboration with the thesis adviser. One chapter or 20 pages of the thesis is due in December.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

All English majors take the senior departmental examination(link is external), which is explained in further detail here.

+ +

Honors

+ +

Honors are decided by each cohort and not a set number. Honors in English are computed at graduation according to the following percentages:

+ +
  • Departmental courses (excluding the junior seminar): 50%
    • +
  • Thesis: 25%
    • +
  • Junior Independent Work: 7.5% junior paper; 7.5% junior seminar
    • +
  • Senior Oral Exam and Reflection Paper: 10% (7.5% for the exam, 2.5% for the reflection paper)
    • +

Note that in English, it is not permissible to drop the lowest-graded departmental course from your average; all departmental courses are counted.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

The department encourages students to consider studying abroad. We especially invite students to consider the department's term at University College London. There, students attend a special LCH seminar with a Princeton English professor and receive support for independent work, while also attending courses taught through the University of London.

+ +

Courses taken abroad may, with approval, receive both departmental and distribution credit (in general, the department can accept two courses for study abroad). Students considering study abroad should consult the director of undergraduate studies at an early stage.

Animation is a ubiquitous form, present across media and in advertising. Many viewers take its components and effects for granted. But the archive of animation fundamentally complicates any easy assumptions about "realism" in the twentieth century; animation, moreover, challenges assumptions about bodies and their functions, exaggerating their features and functions, promoting alternatives to more mundane notions of life and liveliness, and relatedly, to ideas of time, contingency, and experience. + + M.

+ + + +

+ ENG 317 - Poetry and Poetics, 1500 to 1700 + (also GSS 407) + + Spring + LA + +

What is the social, political, and philosophical work of a personal and intimate poetry? Alongside a wide range of poems (including at least one contemporary collection placed in dialogue with the earlier poems), the course will include several short theoretical readings on the representation of desire. + + B.

Program Offerings

A.B.
+
+ +

The Department of French and Italian offers a liberal arts major designed to give students a thorough grounding in the language, literature and culture of one or more of the subjects it teaches, seen as independent disciplines or in combination with other languages and cognate subjects. Its courses provide practical instruction in the French and Italian languages; the literatures and cultures of France and Italy in all periods, from medieval to contemporary; and literature in French written in other parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

+ +

Students are encouraged to complement their courses in French and/or Italian with related and varied courses in other literatures, art history, history, political science, sociology, comparative literature or other humanities subjects.

+ +

In addition to serving as the focus for an education in liberal arts, the French and Italian majors can be the basis for graduate or professional study. In mostly small classes and seminars, allowing extensive student/teacher interaction, students also become equipped to pursue careers in such areas as journalism, business, law, government service and international affairs. For nonmajors, the department offers a rich set of language courses, from introductory to very advanced. It also offers a popular certificate program, allowing the study of French and Italian to be combined with majors in history, architecture, English, politics or any other subject available at Princeton.

+ +

The French Language Program

+ +

All students who wish to continue a language begun in secondary school must have their proficiency assessed by a departmental placement test administered prior to course registration. Since 2020, all students who received a 5 on the AP exam, a 760 on the SAT subject test, or a 7 on the higher-level IB test must take the departmental placement test in order to confirm their advanced placement. Students will only be awarded credit for the AP exam, SAT, and higher IB if they pass the departmental placement test, which must also be confirmed through an interview with the placement officer, Dr. Murielle Perrier. Students who pass the language placement test have fulfilled the University's language requirement for general education and are eligible for a FRE 200+ class.

+ +

The normal program for beginners seeking a basic mastery of French is the sequence 101, 102 and 107, which satisfies the University's language requirement.

+ +

Students who demonstrate particular gifts in 101 may be admitted to the accelerated, double-credit spring course, 102-7, which also satisfies the University's language requirement.

+ +

Students with advanced placement in French will be placed in either 103 or 105 and will proceed to either 107 or 108 to satisfy the University language requirement. They also may be placed directly into 108. Students who have successfully completed 107 cannot take 108.

+ +

Course credit in 107 or 108 is also available through approved summer courses abroad (see Study and Work Abroad below). Funding may be available for selected and committed students. Students must pass a placement test upon their return to satisfy the language requirement.

+ +

All questions concerning placement and summer study are handled by the director of the relevant language program.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Majors in French or Italian master a number of vital skills in the process of studying the literature, culture, art, society and history of French and Italian speakers around the world. Beyond acquiring a solid command of the language — written and spoken — and the coveted ability to function flawlessly in the target language — in professional as well as personal contexts — students also gain deep insights into the making of a rich, unique and complex cultural tradition that continues to impact the modern world. They learn to engage directly, without passing through translation, with the works and legacies of artists, writers, thinkers and historical figures who, from the Middle Ages to the present, and from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, have left an indelible imprint on the world and continue to influence thought and creativity today.

+ +

The department welcomes students with a broad variety of interests and approaches. The study of literature, language and culture lies at the core of our discipline, along with the methods of analysis tailored to these objects (notably literary and critical theory). But in learning to apply this lens — i.e., to read cultural artifacts critically (from poems and films to institutions and practices) — students are also invited to develop their own unique area of expertise, often with substantial input from neighboring disciplines, and to explore the cultural response to a wide variety of problems and challenges. These may be artistic, but may also emerge from an engagement with broader social concerns, including gender, race, politics, environment, technology, health, urbanism, commerce, religion, education and ethics.

+ +

What students will take away from FIT, aside from an impressive command of French or Italian, a deep familiarity with a rich foreign culture and a new and distinct way of looking at the world — one that will inevitably enrich their outlook on everything else — is a unique capacity to read the world critically (words, objects, cultures) and to grasp how the stories, symbols, structures, images and beliefs that make up both individual identities and social formations have been continuously fabricated in the course of time. They will also, and more importantly, perhaps, develop the tools needed to imagine how many of these frameworks and narratives might be reshaped in a future that will be increasingly global, diverse and interactive, and in which the capacity for intercultural exchange will be an essential skill.

Advanced Placement

+

For information about advanced placement, see the French and Italian language programs(link is external).

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

The minimum requirement for admission to the department is successful completion of the language sequence (FRE 107 or 108; ITA 107 or 108), or equivalent qualification. Students are encouraged to complete at least one advanced-language course (FRE 207, 207F, or 208; ITA 207I, 208) prior to admission, or shortly thereafter, and may also count one such course toward the major. It is further recommended that students complete at least one more 200-level course (such as FRE 211, 215, 217, 221, 222, 224, 225 or ITA 208, 209, 220, 224, 225) before enrolling in a 300-level. Majors who plan to participate in one of the certificate programs, such as African studies, African-American studies, European cultural studies, Latin American studies, or gender and sexuality studies, must also satisfy the prerequisites of that program.

All students are expected to include one advanced language course (FRE 207, 307, 407; ITA 207, 307) in their major subject(s). For majors in French in the classes of 2021 and beyond, the junior seminar (FRE 398), is mandatory. Any two of the following courses can count for course credit for the departmental requirement: FRE 207, 208, 211, 215, 217, 221, 222, 224, 225; ITA 207, 208, 209, 220, 224, 225.

+ +

Courses taught in the department place varying emphases on language, literary history and interpretation, aesthetics and literary theory, and cultural and intellectual history. Students are therefore able to pursue courses of study that are consistent with their own interests. To complement this individualized approach to students' plans of study, the department offers four distinct tracks within the major in French and/or Italian:

+ +

Track 1. MAJOR IN ONE LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND CULTURE
+Students major in French or Italian. Eight upper-division courses are counted toward the major. At least five of these must be in the language and subject of the major. Up to two of the five departmental courses may be taken at the 200 level (but FRE 207 and 208, or ITA 207 and 208, cannot both be counted). Up to three of the eight may be cognate courses approved by the director of undergraduate studies (DUS) and drawn from other sections of the department or from other humanities and social science subjects.

+ +

Track 2. MAJOR IN TWO LANGUAGES, LITERATURES, AND CULTURES
+Students intending to combine work in French or Italian with another language, civilization and culture normally take a minimum of eight upper-division courses: five in French or Italian (one of which may be a cognate) and three in the other relevant language. Up to two of the five departmental courses may be taken at the 200 level (but FRE 207 and 208, or ITA 207 and 208, cannot both be counted).

+ +

Track 3. MAJOR IN FRENCH OR ITALIAN AND ANOTHER FIELD
+Students intending to combine work in French or Italian and another related field normally take a minimum of eight upper-division courses: five in the relevant language and literature (one of which may be a cognate) and three in the other field. For example, students specializing in French or Italian and History, Politics, or Art and Archaeology, might take appropriate 300-level or higher courses in those departments. Students should consult with their director of undergraduate studies before course enrollment. Up to two of the five departmental courses may be taken at the 200 level (but FRE 207 and 208, or ITA 207 and 208, cannot both be counted).

+ +

Track 4. MAJOR IN FRENCH OR ITALIAN AND THE CREATIVE ARTS
+This track is designed for students who wish to combine work in French or Italian and a creative art, such as theater, music, dance, painting, film, translation and creative writing. Upon approval by the director of undergraduate studies, the student would normally take a minimum of eight upper-division courses: five in the relevant language and literature and three in the field related to the art of interest. Up to two of the five departmental courses may be taken at the 200 level (but FRE 207 and 208, or ITA 207 and 208, cannot both be counted). In some cases, an original work of creation (paintings, prose, or poetry, etc.), or of performance (theater, etc.), may substitute for the senior thesis, but not for one of the two junior papers. In these cases, students will also be required to submit a substantial critical work of at least 6,000 but no more than 10,000 words (25–35 pages), in which they will position and discuss their creative work in relation to the historical and cultural context of the language in question. The creative portion of the thesis must also have an obvious French, Francophone or Italian cultural component, approved in advance by the student's adviser.

+ +

Important Note: Any upper-level course taught in English will require all written work to be completed in French or Italian in order to count toward the major or certificate.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Papers

+ +

Upon entering the department, and in all cases no later than the spring of sophomore year, students should discuss their likely area of interest with the director of undergraduate studies so that students can be paired with the most compatible adviser. The adviser will be assigned at the beginning of junior year. Students should contact their junior adviser and plan regular meetings. In consultation with their adviser, students will also choose the language in which they will draft their paper. It is the responsibility of the student to make and keep these arrangements.

+ +

The first junior paper, written in the fall semester, should be about 4,000 words. The second junior paper, written in the spring semester, should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words. Both junior papers may be written in English, in which case a three-page summary in the relevant language must be provided. If the paper is written in the relevant language, a three-page summary in English is required.

+ +

Students following tracks 2 or 3 may write one junior paper in one of their two majors subjects, and one in the other.

+ +

In preparing their papers, students should conform to the principles specified in the University's instructions for writing essays. Formatting should consistently follow either the Modern Language Association Handbook or The Chicago Manual of Style.

+ +

Senior Thesis

+ +

As the culmination of their independent work, senior students write a thesis on an approved topic. Late in their junior year, students will discuss possible areas of interest with the director of undergraduate studies. Topics chosen in the past have ranged across the field of French, Francophone and Italian studies, from linguistic problems and literary techniques to close textual analysis to thematic and cultural study. Students primarily interested in culture and civilization have written on art, on political and economic issues, on education and on a variety of social questions. For students following tracks 2, 3, and 4, joint supervision may be arranged. The senior thesis is a major commitment of a student's time and energy, and the most important yardstick for choosing a topic is willingness to spend many hours immersed in that particular set of texts or problems.

+ +

Majors in French and/or Italian who are also earning certificates should consult with their advisers about selecting a suitable thesis topic. The senior thesis may be written in English, in which case a three-page summary in the relevant language must be provided. If the thesis is written in the relevant language, a three-page summary in English is required.

+ +

Senior theses should be 15,000–20,000 words in length.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The examination, taken in May of senior year, is designed to test aspects of the student's entire program of study in the department. A list of required and recommended readings is provided for each of the languages and literatures taught in the department, and it guides students in preparing for the written examination. The format of the examination is as follows.

+ +
  1. Written Component (three hours) in class, including: (a) A sight translation. This exercise will consist of the translation of a short prose text from French or Italian into English. The resulting translation should reflect the linguistic command and stylistic sophistication expected from a reasonably proficient speaker of French or Italian. For majors following Track 2, and combining French and Italian, the original text will be given in the dominant language. (b) An essay written in the language of specialization. Students will choose one topic out of three culture/literature questions. Topics will be based on the reading lists and course offerings.
    2. +
  2. Oral Presentation (30 minutes). A brief (10–15 minute) oral presentation, in the language of the major (French or Italian), followed by a discussion. The content of the presentation will be determined and prepared by the student in concert with their adviser, and may reflect any aspect of the student's own general intellectual and academic experience in the department. It may therefore stem from the senior thesis, but also largely refer to the overall course of study achieved in the major subject. The examining committee will include at least two permanent faculty of each section.
    3. +

Note: In order to better prepare for the comprehensive examination, students are strongly encouraged to include either FRE 307 or ITA 307 in their departmental course work.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

The department strongly encourages its majors and certificate students to spend as much time as they can in any country where the language(s) they study is (are) widely spoken. There are several ways of doing this within the four-year undergraduate degree: by study abroad for one or two semesters; by summer study abroad; or by obtaining summer work or an internship abroad.

+ +

Junior Semester/Junior Year Abroad(link is external). Students planning to spend a semester or their whole junior year abroad should seek advice from the director of undergraduate studies and from relevant faculty in choosing a suitable program of study. Further assistance is available from the Office of International Programs. Departmental and University approval is required.

+ +

Grades awarded by overseas institutions for courses that are recognized in lieu of Princeton courses are not included in the computation of departmental honors. Juniors who are abroad in the fall semester must take the junior seminar FRE 398 in the fall of their senior year.

+ +

Students studying abroad for one or two semesters are not exempted from independent work requirements. The responsibility for consulting with advisers, as well as for meeting all normal deadlines, lies with the student. Students who complete a semester abroad may normally count two of the course units completed abroad as departmentals. Students must complete the program abroad to the standard required by the overseas institution.

+ +

Summer Language Study(link is external). The department has a special relationship with the Institut International de Langue IS Aix-en-Provence, which offers intensive four-week language courses in French at various levels, as well as with the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, where select students of Italian can take a four-week intensive course while living on the SNS campus. The department is able to provide financial support to a small number of students in these programs each year.

+ +

See the director of undergraduate studies if you are interested in one of these programs.

+ +

Summer Work Abroad(link is external). Princeton-in-France is a long-established summer work program that selects students who qualify linguistically to take on the responsibilities of a paying summer job or internship in France. Travel grants and salary supplements are available to students who receive financial aid. Announcements will be made early in the fall concerning a November information meeting about the program. The application deadline is early December.

+ +

Information about other placements and internships abroad may also be obtained from the senior associate dean of the Office of International Programs, Rebecca Graves-Bayazitoglu.

+
+
+

Certificate in Language and Culture

+

Admission

+ +

The certificate in language and culture program (link is external) is open to undergraduates in all departments. Students should consult the director of undergraduate studies by the beginning of junior year. Ordinarily, students majoring in language and literature departments, including comparative literature, will be eligible for the certificate in language and culture provided that: (a) the linguistic base for the language and culture certificate is different from the linguistic base of the major; and (b) the work required for the language and culture certificate does not duplicate the requirements of the major. Students pursuing area studies certificates may earn the certificate in language and culture provided that: (a) the courses they elect to satisfy the requirements of the area studies program are different from those they elect to satisfy the requirements of the language and culture certificate program; and (b) they submit a piece of independent work in addition to the independent work that satisfies the requirements of the area studies program.

+ +

Application forms are available from the departmental office located in 303 East Pyne and on the FIT website. A separate application must be completed for each language in which a certificate will be pursued.

+ +

Plan of Study

+ +

A certificate in language and culture(link is external) is available in French and Italian and involves satisfactory completion of the following requirements:

+ +
  1. A minimum of four departmental courses in the relevant language, linguistics, literature or culture, excluding courses that do not have a language prerequisite and any 100-level language course. At least two of these courses must be at the 300 level (or higher). Up to two of these courses may be taken at the 200 level, but FRE 207 and 208, or ITA 207 and 208, cannot both be counted. At the discretion of the director of undergraduate studies, a student may substitute one course satisfactorily completed in a departmentally approved program of study abroad, or one course taken over the summer. A 200-level course is a prerequisite for taking 300-level courses in French or Italian. 
    2. +

Please note: Any French or Italian course taught in English will require all written work to be completed in French or Italian in order to count toward the major or certificate.

+ +
  1.  Independent Work. This requirement can be satisfied in one of several ways: (a) through a substantial paper on a topic agreed upon with the student's appointed adviser; (b) through a substantial paper stemming from one of the courses taken to fulfill the certificate requirement (this paper will be in addition to the work required in the course; the subject and scope of this paper will be agreed upon with the student's appointed adviser); or (c) with the agreement of the student's home department, a student may submit a junior independent work (JP) or senior thesis that satisfies the requirements of both the home department and the Department of French and Italian. A JP or senior thesis of this sort should be based in substantial part on language sources, and it should display competence in the language for which the student is requesting certification. Students interested in this option should consult the director of undergraduate studies as early as possible to ensure that the paper or thesis will satisfy the certificate requirements.
    2. +

Papers of types (a) and (b) are to be approximately 4,000–5,000 words in length. Students are urged to write them in the appropriate language. Alternatively, they may submit the independent work in English together with a 700–1,000-word summary in the language. Students submitting a junior paper or a senior thesis in lieu of independent work [in line with option (c) above] must also submit the summary in the language.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

Geosciences is a unique blend of lab experiments, field observation, data analysis and computer modeling. Courses in geosciences apply principles of biology, chemistry, physics, computer science and mathematics to real Earth problems, deal with length scales from global to atomic and consider timescales from billions of years to less than a second. The flexible academic program allows students to develop individualized courses of study.

+ +

Undergraduates studying geosciences often pursue careers in basic research, the energy industry and education. Geosciences also provides a foundation for careers in applied research, environmental consulting, engineering, public policy, conservation, resource economics, environmental education and general consulting.

+ +

The intellectual excitement of modern geosciences is fueled by our exploration of the dynamic forces and delicate balances that mold our planet and have rendered it conducive to life for much of its history. Our landscape is continually reshaped by the movement of cold continents atop the hot, viscous mantle, and our lives are altered by the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that attend their collision. Rocks that cover Earth's surface sink to great depths and transform under enormous temperatures and pressures, perhaps to be uplifted as mountains and exposed to future generations by the forces of erosion. The ocean and atmosphere engage in a continuous and complex dialogue that controls Earth's climate. Chemical reactions operating within microorganisms and on a variety of mineral and other natural surfaces are integrated into large geochemical fluxes, which distribute the resources needed for life, and life in turn alters these fluxes. This process operates within the framework of biological evolution, in which diverse organisms appear, evolve and vanish, sometimes leaving a transfigured world in their wake. All of these processes influence our daily lives in profound and surprising ways.

+ +

Many of the great challenges to humanity, today and in the future, involve processes that are studied by Earth scientists, leading to a rapidly increasing role for the field in issues of environmental regulation and public policy. A background in the Earth sciences is an essential component of contemporary education. Practicing geoscientists study nature both in the field and in the lab. To an ever-increasing degree, they must quantify observations with the aim of not only describing the past but also predicting the future of our planet, often with the aid of rigorous laboratory and field experiments, and intensive computation and modeling. The diversity of processes that characterize Earth as a whole requires geosciences to be an extraordinarily interdisciplinary field with direct connections to mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and computer science. As a result of these connections, the geosciences department frequently draws students from many backgrounds. Many of our most successful graduates begin their undergraduate careers in subjects ranging from physics to English. The Department of Geosciences(link is external) welcomes this intellectual variety, and our undergraduate program allows flexibility while stressing the importance of a sound understanding of the basic sciences.

+ +

 

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The field of geosciences is central to many of the most pressing issues of today’s world: Earth resources and energy; natural hazards; human/environment interaction; and climate change. Through diverse coursework, small class sizes and strong field and laboratory programs, the Department of Geosciences empowers students to understand how the Earth works and how to solve real-world problems.

+ +

Coursework and research in geosciences (GEO) can center on theory, numerical modeling, lab work and/or field observations. The geosciences often involve studying the properties of rock, soil, water, air, fossils and/or living microbes. Such studies require learning to observe the natural world using a combination of human senses and instrumentation, and recently have taken Princeton undergraduates on field expeditions around the world. A geoscience major has the opportunity to probe the samples they collect using a variety of state-of-the-art laboratory techniques, from mass spectrometry to synchrotron beamlines, from DNA probes to chemostats, from electron microscopes to serial giga-imagers. In the classroom, junior colloquium and PI labs, students learn to apply a range of quantitative approaches including statistics, numerical modeling, machine learning, new computational theory and super computing. Students may apply these methods to explore potential solutions to policy problems such as climate change and water/air pollution.

+ +

Communication also is a central part of the geosciences curriculum. Poster sessions, oral presentations and written work in both coursework and research build on what students learn as first-year students in the writing seminars about the values held in common across disciplines — e.g., articulating a compelling question or problem, making an argument based on evidence and analysis, and engaging responsibly with sources. Students are encouraged to build on these experiences by presenting their work at Princeton Research Day (PRD) and international disciplinary conferences.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Prerequisites for declaring the geosciences major vary by track, but all require MAT 104, COS 126 or SML 201 and either GEO 202 or GEO 203.

+ +

The microbiology (MB), environmental geochemistry (EC), and oceans, atmosphere, and climate (OA) tracks all require GEO 202. The geology and earth history (GE) and geophysics (GP) tracks require GEO 203. 

+ +

By the end of junior year, students in every specialization must satisfy the statistics requirement by taking GEO 422 (or substituting ORF 245, ECO 202, PSY 251, or SPI 200).

+ +

If a student meets one set of prerequisites but would like to switch specializations, accommodations can be made with a member of the Undergraduate Work Committee (UWC).

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Please begin by examining the Geosciences Junior Paper and Senior Thesis Guide (link is external)(link is external).

+ +

Junior Independent Work

+ +

All juniors are required to conduct independent research in both the fall and spring terms. Each term, this work includes a written progress report, final written report and a poster presentation of the student's final JP work.  Faculty members will evaluate student poster presentations and submit feedback and grades. Although geoengineers are not required to conduct JP research, some geoengineers have conducted independent research in geosciences or engineering for course credit.

+ +

Different research topics are available in any given year and some ideas are listed in the shopping guide, which students obtain from the undergraduate coordinator. Students are encouraged to consult with their faculty advisers for suggestions regarding selection of the JP project. If students have other exciting ideas for possible JP projects, they are encouraged to consult their faculty advisers to discuss the feasibility of pursuing them.

+ +

The fall JP consists of a research proposal. The proposal includes a statement of the hypothesis you are proposing to test, a literature review that motivates your work, and preliminary data collection (i.e., fieldwork, laboratory analysis and/or data mining) and analysis that convinces the reader you will be able to test your central hypothesis. The fall JP is introduced as a poster presentation to the geosciences department prior to submitting a final written report.

+ +

The spring JP project is a full scientific research paper. A student may choose to work on the same topic they proposed in the fall or on a completely new topic with a new adviser. All spring JP work must include original data analysis; a literature review by itself does not qualify as a JP project. Many opportunities for collecting data are available, either through the student's own efforts (including fieldwork, experiments conducted in any of the several laboratories in the department, and computer simulations) or by accessing databases made available by and for the scientific community at large. The spring JP is presented as a poster to the geosciences department prior to submitting a final written report.

+ +

Proposals for funding to support independent work are due in late September/early October for the fall JP, and mid-February for the spring JP (but please see the ST/JP Guide for details each year as the due dates are subject to change). Part of the JP grade is awarded based on two reports submitted at two different milestones during the semester. The final grade for both fall and spring independent research is based on the quality of the research and the written and oral work of the student.

+ +

Senior Independent Work

+ +

The senior research thesis project involves a more in-depth study in the chosen topic and is a full-year effort. Students should budget their time accordingly. Each geosciences senior will choose an appropriate faculty member as their senior thesis adviser in consultation with the departmental adviser and the faculty members who support the student's interests. The student is expected to conduct research in the adviser's laboratory and work closely with the adviser and/or graduate students/postdoctoral fellows.

+ +

The department publishes a shopping guide, which lists some research topics that the geosciences faculty members currently are pursuing. The shopping guide is a good starting point to identify a list of topics and research advisers from which students can select a topic and adviser for their senior independent research in consultation with the departmental adviser and faculty members. Students interested in pursuing a topic that is not part of the shopping guide are encouraged to approach their departmental adviser to discuss the feasibility of conducting the research either under the supervision of a faculty member in the department or in another department in the University. Many students select their projects early, in consultation with the faculty adviser, and begin the research during the summer preceding senior year. The department and the faculty adviser usually provide the necessary funds to conduct the independent research.

+ +

The department requires that a student submit a thesis proposal (due in late September or early October) and several interim research progress reports, including the fall semester progress report, a rough draft of the thesis for feedback, and the final thesis. The goal of the interim reports is to facilitate timely adviser-student feedback, help minimize the unavoidable thesis rush at the end of the year, and ensure that the final product of the thesis is of the highest quality. In addition to writing their theses, all students give oral presentations to the faculty and students of the geosciences department. The grade for the thesis is based on the quality of the research, the written report and the oral presentation.

+ +

For full details, see the department's department's website(link is external).

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The comprehensive examination in the department consists of an oral examination based on the senior thesis and related topics.

+ +

Grading and Honors

+ +
Senior Thesis
+ +

You will be graded on (1) your thesis research plus written report and (2) oral presentation plus answers to questions.

+ +
Thesis Grade
+ +
  1. Written thesis: Quality and clarity of writing, proper organization and citations, illustration of results, interpretation, and discussion, originality, and commitment to doing the best possible lab-, field-, or model-based research. Grade determined by adviser and second reader.
    2. +
  2. Oral presentation: Based on quality and clarity of presentation in lecture and illustrations as well as facility in answering questions pertaining to research results. Grade determined by the entire faculty.
    3. +

The final thesis grade will be set only after a meeting of the faculty to discuss and rank all theses. In general, an A on a senior thesis means that the work and write-up submitted have sufficient merit to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. The final thesis grade is reported to the registrar and appears on the student's transcript.

+ +
Academic Honors
+ +

The department awards academic honors (Honors, High Honors, Highest Honors) based on a combination of factors, including the overall grade point average (GPA), departmental GPA, the relevance and degree of difficulty of course load, junior research papers and senior thesis. If the student has taken more than the required courses, then the courses with the highest grades that satisfy the major and breadth requirements are used in the calculation. For the senior thesis and junior research papers, the assigned grades will be used. In addition to grades, dedication to research, academic participation and the overall impressions the student has made on the faculty are taken into consideration in the honors calculation. To ensure that the quality of honors remains consistent from year to year, the faculty compares student achievements with those from previous years.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

Specialization in any one of the Earth sciences today requires graduate study. Students interested in pursuing graduate studies in any of the specializations are encouraged to take advanced chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology and computer science courses. More specific information on graduate education can be obtained from the director of undergraduate studies or other faculty members.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Field Programs

+ +

Since experience in field geology can be an important aspect of professional training, students are encouraged to take a course in field methods in geology and oceanography.

+ +

Geological Field Camp

+ +

After their first year, sophomore, or junior year, many of our students enroll in a geosciences summer field camp (students should consult their faculty adviser in the November before they plan to attend summer field camp). Other students choose to work with a faculty member or a graduate student in the field, and may conduct independent research for junior or senior independent research as part of this opportunity. Geosciences facilitates student enrollment in these field opportunities by providing financial aid.

+ +

Experience at Sea

+ +

Students interested in ocean studies can participate in ongoing studies at sea or at the Bermuda Biological Station. The department tries to make available opportunities to interested undergraduates to participate in an oceanographic cruise at some time during their undergraduate years.

+ +

Information on other opportunities for field experience is made available annually. The student should consult the DUS if interested in participating in field programs.

+ +

Financial Assistance

+ +

Grants for fieldwork in geology are available through the Tony Conway '36 Memorial Scholarship Fund. Grants for field and museum studies and research in natural history during the summer are available to students of high scholastic standing from the John Boyd '43 Memorial Fund and the Glenn L. Jepsen '27 Fund. Grants are available from the Erling Dorf '33 Fund for fieldwork and the field course. The Howard T. Vaum Jr. '78 Fund supports studies in geological engineering in a field study program. Grants for environmental studies are available from the High Meadows Environmental Institute. Students seeking assistance from any of these funds should present a proposal (two pages of research description) by February 15 to the DUS.

+ +

Funds are available from time to time for qualified undergraduates to serve as research assistants to faculty members during the regular academic session as well as during the summer months.

+ +

In some instances, summer employment for qualified students can be arranged with governmental, commercial or academic field parties.

+ +

Certificate Programs

+ +

The department offers a certificate program in geological engineering in collaboration with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, which is described in the entry for the Program in Geological Engineering. The department also cooperates in the certificate programs in environmental studies, materials science and engineering, planets and life, and teacher preparation. Several geosciences courses fulfill the requirements of these certificate programs.

+ +

Geosciences Advisers

+ +

Each geosciences junior and senior is assigned an adviser, who is a faculty member and part of the Undergraduate Work Committee. Students are expected to meet regularly with their advisers for discussions on curriculum, course selection, choice of junior and senior research paper topics, study abroad plans and the like. Once the courses have been selected in consultation with the adviser, students turn in their signed fall and spring course worksheet to the undergraduate coordinator. Any course changes also should be discussed and approved by the adviser or the DUS. At the beginning of each academic year, students will be informed who their geosciences advisers are.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

Incoming students with previous experience in German will be placed into the appropriate level of the language sequence by means of an online proficiency test administered prior to course registration. Makeup tests will take place during orientation week.

+ +

Students with some knowledge of German but without sufficient SAT subject or AP test scores must have their proficiency measured by the online placement test administered by the Registrar. Sophomores and upper-level students may take the test as well, but must do so according to the test's availability during orientation and at other points in the academic year.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The German department offers introductory and advanced courses taught in both English and German that explore the wide range of literature, history, philosophy, culture, media and art of the groups, confederations and nations who have spoken German from the Middle Ages to the present. Given the centrality of the German language to the discipline, we also offer courses at all levels in German language and culture which have as their goal the development of proficiency in German, understood as the ability to interact clearly and without explicit preparation in spontaneous communicative circumstances, speak with native speakers on general topics without straining communication, understand complex, concrete and abstract texts, and write on a wide variety of subjects at an analytical level.

+ +

Although the larger field is defined in terms of the German language, those speaking and writing in that language over the course of centuries did not exist in a vacuum. The study of German is therefore an inherently interdisciplinary enterprise that also involves the study of other languages and literatures, histories, discourses, and cultural forms and practices. These connections to other fields are reflected not only in the cross-disciplinary affiliations of department faculty with architecture, art and archaeology, the Center for culture, society, and religion, comparative literature, European cultural studies, history of science, Judaic studies, media and modernity, and Medieval studies, but also in the six “tracks” available to German majors (German Literature, German Philosophy and Intellectual History, Media and Aesthetics, Linguistics, Study of Two Literatures, and the Joint Program in Culture and Politics). Given this wide range of offerings and approaches, the exact knowledge acquisition will vary from student to student, but certain common skills will be developed through the combination of coursework and independent work.

+ +

The goals of a German major are thus twofold: (1) advancing language proficiency by increasing core vocabulary; understanding embedded sentence structures; comprehending nuances of style and register; engaging in extended discussion and debate; writing essays and short research papers in German; leading a seminar discussion in German; and (2) not only acquiring a range of knowledge in the chosen area of interest (major track) but also learning how to pursue the unknown, and in so doing, to create knowledge. The ultimate goal is to acquire the research, writing and rhetorical skills necessary to articulate that knowledge in a carefully presented and coherent argument that solves a problem in the context of a larger conversation or debate. In this way, our majors practice ways of thinking and communicating that will serve them well beyond their collegiate careers in virtually any profession.

+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Students who took the SAT ST German (or German "with listening") or the AP German exam with test scores of SAT ST 760 or AP 5 will satisfy the A.B. language requirement and be eligible for placement in 200- or 300-level courses, as well as participation in the Princeton in Vienna, Summer Study Abroad Program, the Summer Work Program and the Berlin Consortium for German Studies.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

The requirement for admission to the German department(link is external) is a satisfactory working knowledge of German demonstrated by the completion of GER 107, an SAT Subject Test score of 760, a 5 on the Advanced Placement test or successful completion of the Department Proficiency Exam. Students considering majoring in German are encouraged to contact the director of undergraduate studies at any point to discuss a plan of study.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

The department offers six areas of concentration, or tracks, within the major, each requiring a total of nine departmental courses — the Junior Seminar (GER 300) and eight additional courses — as specified below.

+ +

1.  German Literature

+ +

This track focuses on the major periods and forms of German literature with emphasis on literary and historical analysis. Students will satisfy the general University requirement of eight departmental courses by taking a minimum of five courses in the department (at least three of which should be 300-level courses) and a maximum of three cognate courses in related humanities departments such as philosophy and religion.

+ +

2.  German Philosophy and Intellectual History

+ +

This track concentrates on philosophy, political and cultural theory, or particular intellectual movements and epochs in German-speaking contexts. Students are required to take a minimum of five courses in the German department (at least three of which should be 300-level courses) and a maximum of three relevant cognate courses in history, European cultural studies or philosophy.

+ +

3.  Media and Aesthetics

+ +

Designed for students who wish to focus on art, film, dance, music, sound technology and/or media theory broadly conceived, this track requires a minimum of five courses in the German department (at least three of which should be 300-level courses) and a maximum of three relevant cognate courses in art and archaeology, film, music, philosophy, European cultural studies, architecture and the Program in Visual Arts.

+ +

4.  German Linguistics

+ +

This track concentrates on the history and structure of the German language. Majors who select this track are required to take the following courses: LIN 201 Introduction to Language and Linguistics or a comparable course in linguistics; GER 505 History of the German Language; and either GER 506 Second Language Acquisition and Pedagogy or GER 316, with the same title. In addition, students will take at least three courses in German literature and culture and two cognate courses pertaining to linguistics.

+ +

5.  The Study of Two Literatures

+ +

This plan of study normally consists of five upper-level courses in the German department (at least three of which should be 300-level courses) and three upper-level courses in a second literature. Students who have not completed the language preparation for the second literature may enroll in this track provided that they satisfy that language requirement during their junior year.

+ +

6.  Joint Program in German Culture and Politics

+ +

In cooperation with the Department of Politics, students may combine a major in German intellectual history with a major in German/European politics and/or political theory. In this track, four courses will be taken in the German department (at least two of which should be 300-level courses) and four cognate courses in German/European politics or political theory will be taken in the Department of Politics (at least two of which should be 300-level courses). Recommended departmental courses are GER 207, 208, 211, 306, 307, 309 and 324. Recommended cognates in politics include POL 210, 230, 240 and 385. The senior thesis may focus on any political topic with a substantive German-related component. Upon graduation, a letter will be issued by the German department certifying completion of a program in German cultural studies with a major in politics.

+
+
+

Language Requirements

+

For tracks 1 to 5, at least three, and for track 6, at least two, of the departmentals should be courses taught in German. For tracks 1 to 5, one of these three may be a course taught in English for which there is an appropriate German-language component. This option is available for all courses taught in the German department, but also for some courses in other departments. Students should consult with the course instructor regarding the German-language component at the beginning of the semester and submit the agreed-upon plan to the director of undergraduate studies for approval by the end of the second week of classes.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Independent reading, the junior seminar, the junior year essay and the senior thesis constitute the student's total independent work, which is spread over the four upper-level terms. These elements can be profitably linked with departmental courses. Students will consult with the director of undergraduate studies under whose guidance they will develop their individual program. During the first term of junior year, students are required to take the Junior Seminar GER 300, which serves as an intensive workshop of research and writing skills, as an introduction to a wide range of approaches and methods, and as an incubator for the spring term junior paper, an essay of approximately 5,000 words on a subject in German philosophy, art, media, linguistics, literature or politics. This essay, as well as the senior thesis, may be written in German or English. In late April of their junior year, students should discuss plans for their senior theses with the director of undergraduate studies.

+ +

During senior year, students will write a thesis on a subject developed together with and approved by their thesis adviser. By the end of the fourth week of the first senior term, students will submit to their advisers a tentative outline of the proposed thesis. Further progress reports (as announced by the department) are required. Five weeks before the departmental examination, students must deliver to their adviser and to the director of undergraduate studies a copy of the thesis (signed and in PDF format). The title page must show the student's name and class numerals, the department in which the student is enrolled, the name of the adviser, and the month and year of presentation. First and second readers will return written reports to students in advance of the departmental exam. After the departmental exam and upon approval of the thesis, students must submit one electronic copy of the thesis (PDF format) for the department archive. Students will receive a message from the office of the dean of the college during the spring term concerning the electronic submission of the senior thesis to the library.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The departmental examination will be oral, based on the thesis and the student's course of study. At least one-fourth of the approximately hour-long exam will be conducted in German. Students should come prepared to give a 5–10 minute presentation about the argument of their thesis and its contribution to the state of research in its field.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

It is strongly recommended that students spend some time in a German-speaking country. This can be done through various programs, including the Berlin Consortium for German Studies, Princeton in Vienna, and the department's Summer Work Program.

+ +

Berlin Study Abroad Program

+ +

Through the Berlin Consortium for German Studies, of which Princeton University is a member, Princeton undergraduates are eligible to spend either one semester or an entire academic year studying abroad at the Freie Universität Berlin for full Princeton academic credit. Students will pay normal Princeton tuition, and those on financial aid will continue to receive aid during their study abroad. Departmental students who would like to enroll in this or any other overseas study program may do so, provided they present an acceptable plan of study that includes fulfillment of the departmental requirements for the junior seminar and the independent work and their application is approved by the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing. Early consultation with the director of undergraduate studies is strongly encouraged. Applications for the Berlin program are due in early October for the spring term and in early March for the following academic year. For application forms and additional information, contact the director of undergraduate studies or the Office of International Programs(link is external) at (609) 258-5524.

+ +

Princeton in Vienna

+ +

The German department offers two levels of courses in its summer program in Vienna: (1) students enrolled in GER 102, 1025 or 105 during the spring semester may apply to take GER 105G or 107G abroad; (2) students enrolled in GER 107 or above in the spring semester, or who have otherwise already placed out of the language sequence, are eligible to apply for the 300-level seminar offered in Vienna. GER 105G and 107G are taught as a special month-long summer course in collaboration with institutional partners in Vienna and Princeton faculty. Both are partially subsidized by the German department, and financial aid is also available to all who receive it during the academic year through the University. GER 3XXG, whose topic varies each summer, is taught by a Princeton professor. Successful completion of GER 107G satisfies the University’s language requirement and qualifies students for upper-level coursework in German, the Summer Work Program and the Berlin Consortium during the academic year. Successful completion of GER 3XXG reduces the number of required German-language courses by one for those pursuing the major or a certificate. Interested students should contact the program director, Adam Oberlin: aoberlin@princeton.edu(link sends email).

+ +

The Summer Work Program 

+ +

For more than 60 years, the German department’s Summer Work Program (SWP) has opened up academic and professional opportunities for countless Princeton undergraduates. The SWP arranges internships in a wide range of fields: arts and culture, business and finance, STEM, computer science, government, policy, law, and medicine. Students have interned at the Bundestag, UNESCO World Heritage sites, Max Planck Institutes, theater festivals and major corporations. They work at art galleries and hospitals, conduct research in fields ranging from neuroscience to migration studies, and collaborate with NGOs to support refugees. Students also have had rewarding experiences in interdisciplinary projects.  

+ +

The SWP is committed to working with each student individually.  As an integral part of the German department, the program provides detailed guidance on writing German resumés, cover letters, and professional emails. Students are matched with internships based on their language proficiencies, academic and professional aspirations, extracurricular interests and specific skills. Some of our most popular ongoing internships were initially established for a particular student with a unique set of qualifications and goals.

+ +

Organizing these opportunities is a truly collaborative effort. The SWP works in conjunction with the Princeton Alumni Association of Germany(link is external), partners at host organizations and colleagues at German universities. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we provide financial support to students whose internships are unpaid.

+ +

An information session is held early in the fall semester. German majors and students with a high level of German proficiency are more likely to be qualified for certain positions. However, German proficiency is not required and students from all academic fields are encouraged to apply. 

+ +

For the most up-to-date information about the application process, eligibility, and internship offerings, please visit the SWP website(link is external).

+
+
+

Certificate in Language and Culture

+

The Department of German offers students an opportunity to do sustained work in German language, literature, philosophy, art and media while majoring in another department, leading to a certificate in German Language and Culture. Certificate students can choose from the broad range of course offerings taught in both English and German. Classes extend from the Middle Ages to the contemporary moment, introduce diverse disciplinary perspectives including art history and philosophy, and engage with multiple critical paradigms, such as gender and media studies. Through vibrant classroom discussions and close advising relationships, the certificate program engages students who wish to advance their command of the German language and deepen their understanding of German culture.

+ +

The certificate program is open to undergraduates in all departments. Students are encouraged to consult with the director of undergraduate studies as early as their first or sophomore year to plan a program of study, but should not hesitate to reach out to the director of undergraduate studies about joining the certificate program at a later date.

+ +

Course Requirements

+ +
  1. Four courses at the 200 level or higher, at least two of which must be at the 300 level or higher. All courses must be taken for a grade (not pass/D/fail).
    2. +
  2. Evidence of substantial upper-level coursework in German. This requirement will be satisfied if three of the four courses taken for the certificate were conducted in German, or if two were taught in German and one was conducted in English with a substantial German-language component. This option is available for all courses taught in the German department as well as courses in other departments cross-listed with German. Students should consult with the course instructor regarding the German-language component at the beginning of the semester and submit the agreed-upon plan to the director of undergraduate studies in German for approval by the end of the second week of classes.
    3. +

Independent Work

+ +

There are three ways to fulfill the certificate independent work requirement:

+ +
  1. Complete a substantial paper (15–20 pages if in English, 10–15 pages if in German), which may be a revised version of a paper written for one of the four required courses.
    2. +
  2. Write a chapter from the senior thesis principally devoted to a German-related topic.
    3. +
  3. Complete an additional 300-level class taught in German.
    4. +

Students interested in completing the certificate are encouraged to contact the director of undergraduate studies at any point to discuss their plan of study. Students can express their intention to pursue a certificate by signing up on the German department website at german.princeton.edu/department/forms/certificate-program-application(link is external).

+ +

 

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

Departmental students who intend to pursue graduate studies in German should consult with the director of undergraduate studies. Majors should be aware that most graduate schools require a reading knowledge of a second modern language, and, possibly, Latin. Students are therefore advised to plan as undergraduates to meet these requirements.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

The Language Program

+ +

The normal program sequence for beginners consists of GER 101, 102, 105 and 107. Students with a grade of A in 101 may apply for a special intensive second-term course, 102-5, that combines GER 102 and 105. 

+ +

It is possible to start the study of German at Princeton and fulfill the entire language requirement in one calendar year through the Princeton in Vienna program (see above): 101 (Fall term), 102-5 (Spring term), 107G (summer study immediately following 102-5). German 105G is also offered through Princeton in Vienna.

+ +

Successful completion of 107, 107G, or immediate assignment to a higher-level course satisfies the degree requirement and qualifies the student for all advanced courses, for the departmental major and for participation in the Berlin Consortium and the Summer Work Program. All questions concerning placement, course changes, failures, summer study or other matters related to any of the department's undergraduate courses should be referred to the director of undergraduate studies.

+ +

+ GER 314 - Topics in the History and Theory of the Media + (also HUM 310) + + Spring + +

+ +
+ What defines life? And where do we locate the boundary between its proper and improper instances, between the natural and the monstrous? First emerging in the early 19th century, the prospects of artificial life continue to provoke both exhilaration and anxiety today. By examining works of philosophy, literature and film over a historical period ranging from early Romanticism to contemporary nanoculture, this seminar explores humanity's desire to become like the gods, fashioning species, companions, and slaves at will, even as these creations menace us through their intractability and threaten to take on an uncanny life of their own. + + N. Wegmann + +

+ GER 323 - Fairy Tales: The Brothers Grimm and Beyond + + Not offered this year + LA + +

+ +
+ What do fairy tales do? More than children's entertainment, they instruct, amuse, warn, initiate, and enlighten. Throughout history, they have functioned to humanize and conquer the bestial and barbaric forces that terrorize us. They have also disguised social anxieties about gender and sex. The history and social function of fairy tales will be explored in the context of Germany in the 18th-20th centuries. Texts include selections from the Grimms' Marchen, as well as from the literature of the Romantic, Weimar, and postwar periods. Prerequisite: 107. Two 90-minute seminars. + + S. Poor + +

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The plan of departmental study encourages the student to gain further knowledge of the major developments in (and problems of) history, spanning a broad range of time and place. Students also develop more focused expertise through independent historical research and writing. Through coursework and rigorous independent research, the history major emphasizes both depth and breadth. The department's department's website(link is external) describes the program and requirements in detail.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The history major provides foundational and advanced undergraduate courses on the study of the past. History courses range over the past two thousand years of human experience in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Students can learn about these areas of the globe and periods of the past from a variety of different perspectives including cultural, economic, environmental, ethnic, gender, intellectual, political and social history. Students have the opportunity to pursue independent work in two junior papers and a senior thesis. Within the context of a research seminar in the first semester of their junior year, students learn the basic tools of historical research such as finding a research subject, formulating a historical question and canvasing an archive. In the second semester of their junior year, students pursue a junior paper in consultation with a faculty member and independent of the seminar. In their senior year, students deploy these skills in research and writing a 75-page senior thesis based on original historical research. History majors graduate from Princeton with a sense of the depth and the breadth of the historical study of the human past and with the capacity to express themselves on a range of issues in clear and analytic prose.

+ +

 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

For the Class of 2025 and beyond, students are required to take and pass one course at the 200 or 300 level; a second course is recommended but not required.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Course Advising

+ +

Before preregistration each term, each history student must consult with one of the department's designated undergraduate advisers.

+ +

Departmental Distribution Requirements

+ +

University regulations stipulate that undergraduates may not take more than 12 departmental courses, plus up to two departmental prerequisites taken during the first or sophomore years. Departmental regulations stipulate that undergraduates must pass at least 10 courses, including HIS 400, in order to receive the A.B. degree. Students who exceed the 31 courses required for graduation will be permitted to take extra departmentals. History courses taken in the first year and sophomore year are numbered among the 10 to 12 required for graduation. Starting with the class of 2023, students must take at least one course in each of the following four thematic areas: Knowledge & Belief (KB), Power & Conflict (PC), Pre-Modern, pre-1700 (PM), Race & Difference (RD). See the Distribution Requirements(link is external) for a list of courses satisfying each of these areas. Many courses carry more than one designation. A single course may satisfy only one thematic requirement. In addition to the thematic areas, at least two (2) courses must also fulfill the Geographical Distribution Requirements(link is external) that are principally focused on Africa, Asia, Latin America or the Middle East. These courses may double-count with the thematic courses.

+ +

*Students who entered the major in the spring of 2020, took a gap year, and joined the class of 2023 should consult with the director of undergraduate(link is external) studies about the new requirements.

+ +

Cognates

+ +

The department allows students to take courses in other departments that will add depth and variety to their study of history.  When taken during the junior and senior years, up to two (2) such courses may be counted as departmental courses, i.e., cognates, provided they contribute significantly to the student's major and/or independent work, and are substantially historical in their content. Cross-listed courses, such as CLA 217 and NES 201, are not cognates; they are automatically considered departmental courses. The designation of a course as a cognate must be approved by the director of undergraduate studies(link is external). The designation of a cognate course as a departmental should take place during the enrollment/advising period but no later than the University's "deadline for 'free course' change" (approximately two weeks after the beginning of the semester). Courses cannot be declared cognates retroactively, nor can they be changed later to non-departmentals. Cognate courses do not satisfy distribution requirements; however, they count in the determination of departmental standing and honors.

+
+
+

Departmental Tracks

+

History of Science

+ +

Students should have an understanding of the history of science, technology and medicine at various times and in various places and be able to address questions concerning the conceptual and institutional development of these activities in relation to the societies that pursued them.

+ +

History majors wishing to concentrate in the History of Science(link is external) are required to meet thematic requirements (four courses) and geographic requirements (two courses, which can overlap with the thematic) among their 10 to 12 courses. They must also take courses that satisfy the following requirements:

+ +
  1. Two courses in science, engineering, or mathematics in addition to those used to fill the university's science distribution requirement.
    2. +
  2. Four of the following courses (with the permission of the director of undergraduate studies, one of these courses may be replaced by a cognate course from another department, for example, in philosophy or sociology of science). These specific courses can and almost certainly will also serve to at least partially meet the geographic and thematic requirements:

The independent work and comprehensive examination requirements are the same as for all other departmental majors.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year

+ +

Juniors write two junior papers of roughly 25–30 pages in length, one in each semester.

+ +

In the fall term of junior year, students are required to enroll in the HIS 400 Junior Seminars. Work in the junior seminar involves exercises in defining a topic for historical research and in identifying and evaluating a body of historical literature. Each student may expect to gain experience in the use of the library and bibliographical sources, to learn the correct technical form for presenting evidence clearly, and to develop a historical presentation convincingly. Students in HIS 400 will have the opportunity to choose from a number of seminars devoted to historical events or themes of wide importance, such as Irregular Warfare, Space History, Early Native American History, The United States and Latin America, or The Political Uses of American Streets.

+ +

In the spring term of junior year, in consultation with their adviser, the student selects a topic and writes a research paper on an independent basis. Written work equivalent to that submitted in the first term is required. The two semesters of junior independent work must be focused in two different geographical fields and in two different time periods. Students should consult their advisers about this requirement.

+ +

Senior Year

+ +

The independent work consists of writing a thesis on an approved subject of the student's choice. The thesis usually relies on research in original source materials, but it may also involve reinterpretation of familiar materials.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The senior departmental examination(link is external) in the department consists of an oral examination based on the senior thesis and related topics.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Students in the department are encouraged to participate in those programs for foreign study recognized by the University. (For further information, consult the Office of International Programs(link is external).) The department has the following policies and resources for students:

+ +
  1. Sophomores intending to major in history may count one history course taken abroad toward the requirement to enter the department. The course cannot be used as a substitute for the 200-level prerequisite (see section on Prerequisites(link is external)).  A HIS 400 Junior Seminar is offered each spring for sophomores intending to major in history but who will study abroad in the fall of their junior year.
    2. +
  2. The department's spring HIS 400 junior seminar will be open to sophomores intending to go abroad in the fall of their junior year, thus enabling them to write their first junior paper in the spring of their sophomore year and preparing them to write the second while abroad or in the resident semester of their junior year (if they elect to spend only one semester abroad). Students who meet the requirements of junior independent work while at Princeton will still be expected to undertake a full course load while abroad. Moreover, to take full advantage of the international experience, study abroad should include some research work, and we urge students to take seminars that include a research component.

Students may choose from a range of topics; assignments to specific seminars are made on the basis of these choices at the beginning of the fall term. Seminar topics tend to be cross-national and comparative. All juniors must be enrolled in one of the seminars. One three-hour seminar. + + Staff + +

+ HIS 404 - The Rise of the Republican Party + + Not offered this year + HA + +

+ +
+ For the first seventy-five years of U.S. history, anti-slavery parties were confined to the radical fringe of national politics. Yet just six years after it was founded in 1854, the Republican Party became the only third party organization in U.S. history to capture the Presidency.The triumph of this new, avowedly anti-slavery was unprecedented: "the revolution of 1860," some called it. But who exactly were these Republicans? How did they rise so far, so fast, and against such mighty obstacles? And what sort of world did they want to build? Using both primary and secondary sources, this seminar will explore these and other vital questions. + + M. Karp + +
+ + + +

+ HIS 405 - Native American History + + Not offered this year + HA + +

+ +
+ This course covers the history of Native Americans until 1838 (the end of forced Removal). It has two central goals: to emphasize the variety of Native American societies and cultures that existed (and exist) in North America, and to highlight the centrality of Native American history to North American history as a whole. Readings will include: the accounts of the travels of Cabeza de Vaca and of John Smith, the Jesuit Relations, the Life of Black Hawk, the journals of Lewis and Clark, several captivity narratives, and Cherokee documents written during Removal. + + W. Warren + +
+ + + +

+ HIS 408 - Selected Topics in 20th-Century Latin America + (also LAS 408) + + Not offered this year + HA + +

+ +
+ Research and reading on topics related to economic development and political change with attention to specific national contexts, such as authoritarian state and society in Argentina and Brazil; revolution and social change in Mexico, Cuba, and Chile; problems in Latin American foreign relations. One three-hour seminar. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ HIS 417 - Gandhi: The Making of the Mahatma + + Not offered this year + HA + +

+ +
+ This seminar examines Gandhi's political life extending from his campaign for the rights of Indians in South Africa to his role in the struggle for Indian independence from British rule. Focus on those historical processes that turned M. K. Gandhi into a major 20th-century figure--the Mahatma. Issues relating to imperialism and nationalism form the context in which the seminar looks at Gandhi's life and seeks to understand Gandhian ideology and its different--often conflicting--historical appropriations. One three-hour seminar. + + G. Prakash + +
+ + + +

+ HIS 419 - Topics in the History of Modern Syria + (also COM 438/NES 419) + + Not offered this year + HA + +

+ +
+ This seminar situates cultural production in Ba`thist Syria (1970-present)--in terms of its conditions of creation, circulation and reception--within a broader framework, namely, the history of modern Syria. Through an exploration of historical debates in the scholarly literature on politics, aesthetics and culture, students will both contextualize and comment upon ongoing discussions surrounding contemporary Syria. The course engages with a wide range of media, from literature and drama to television and film. All readings are in English, although those with interests/abilities in French or Arabic will be encouraged to exercise them. + + M. Weiss + +
+ + + +

+ HIS 428 - Empire and Catastrophe + (also HLS 428/MED 428) + + Not offered this year + HA + +

+ +
+ Catastrophe reveals the fragility of human society. This course examines a series of phenomena--plague, famine, war, revolution, economic depression etc.--in order to reach an understanding of humanity's imaginings of but also resilience to collective crises. We shall look in particular at how political forces such as empire have historically both generated and resisted global disasters. Material dealing with the especially fraught centuries at the transition between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period will be set alongside examples drawn from antiquity as well as our own contemporary era. + + T. Shawcross + +
+ + + +

+ HIS 432 - Environment and War + (also ENV 432) + + Fall + HA + +

+ +
+ Studies of war and society rarely address environmental factors and agency. The relationship between war and environment is often either reduced to a simple environmental determinism or it is depicted as a war against nature and ecosystems, playing down societal dynamics. The seminar explores the different approaches to the war-environment-society nexus and highlights how and why the three spheres should be studied in conjunction. The objective is to assess how and why environmental and societal factors and forces caused and shaped the conflicts and how in turn mass violence shaped societies and how they used and perceived their environments. + + E.

+ + + + +

+ HIS 448 - History: An Introduction to the Discipline + + Fall + HA + +

+ +
+ An introduction to the discipline of history aimed at, but not limited to, history majors. Through case studies, students will learn how historians of the last few generations have framed problems, found and interpreted evidence, and built arguments. Participants will both study the major recent movements in the discipline of history and reflect on and improve their own historical techniques. The course will culminate with an examination of history and memory in the early 21st century. Prerequisites: successful completion of the department's junior requirements or comparable work in another department. One three-hour seminar. + + A. Grafton + +

+ HIS 459 - The History of Incarceration in the U.S. + (also AMS 459/GSS 459) + + Not offered this year + HA + +

+ +
+ The prison is a growth industry in the U.S.; it is also a central institution in U.S. political and social life, shaping our experience of race, class, gender, sexuality, citizenship, and political possibility. This course explores the history of incarceration over the course of more than two centuries. It tracks the emergence of the penitentiary in the early national period and investigates mass incarceration of the late 20th century.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

Most first-year students and sophomores interested in science, engineering or finance take courses from the standard calculus and linear algebra sequence 103-104-201-202, which emphasizes concrete computations over more theoretical considerations. Note that 201 and 202 can be taken in either order.

+ +

Students who are not prepared to begin with 103 may take 100, an introduction to calculus with pre-calculus review. 

+ +

Prospective economics majors can minimally fulfill their mathematics prerequisites with (100)-103-175. Note that 175 covers selected topics from 201, with biology and economics applications in mind. It is recommended that prospective math-track economics/finance majors take the standard sequence 103-104-201-202 instead of 175.

+ +

More mathematically inclined students, especially prospective physics majors, may opt to replace 201-202 with 203-204, for greater emphasis on theory and more challenging computational problems.

+ +

Prospective mathematics majors must take at least one course introducing formal mathematical argument and rigorous proofs. The recommended first-year sequence for prospective majors is 215-217-300. Prospective majors who already have substantial experience with university-level proof-based analysis courses may consider the accelerated sequence 216-218 instead. Other possible sequences for prospective majors include 210-215-217-300 or 214-204-203 and 203-204-215, although the latter two are relatively rare. Note that 203 and 204 can be taken in either order. Some of our successful majors became interested in mathematics as a major after taking courses at the 100 level. As an alternative to 104, and as a lead-in to MAT215, students may opt to take 210 in the fall, followed by 215 in the spring. Such students should consult with the junior adviser or the associate director of undergraduate studies as soon as possible to plan a course of study.

+ +

Placement Guidelines

+ +

Students who need placement advice about 214, 215, or 216 should consult the Department of Mathematics home page(link is external) (the "Undergraduate" tab has a section on placement) or contact Professor McConnell(link sends email), the junior adviser.

+ +

Students with little or no background in calculus, but with strong pre-calculus skills, should take 103. Alternatively, 100 offers intensive pre-calculus review, along with an introduction to the main ideas of calculus, as preparation for 103. To succeed in 104 or 175, a background in differential calculus at the level of a 5 on the BC Advanced Placement Examination is advised. Students with a stronger calculus preparation in differential and integral calculus, as well as infinite series, may opt to start in 201. Students who possess, in addition, a particularly strong interest in mathematics as well as a SAT mathematics score of at least 750 may opt for 203 or 210 or 214 or 215 or 216 instead.

+ +

The placement workshops for incoming students at orientation are designed to help students consider all these issues in order to make a good initial self-placement in the mathematics curriculum, which can then be adjusted during drop/add if necessary.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Mathematics is a discipline inseparable from scientific and philosophical inquiry. The rigorous and logical thinking that characterizes mathematics is an essential tool for theory-building of any kind because its clarity and precision expose hidden assumptions, inner inconsistencies and deep structural similarities in problems that seem unrelated on the surface. Our courses cover a wide variety of well-established mathematical knowledge that is actively under development by today’s mathematicians and that offers fundamental tools for scientists and engineers of all kinds.

+ +

Students begin their work in the department with a thorough training in rigorous logical reasoning and mathematical proofs in the context of analysis and linear algebra. Next, they complete a survey of the main areas of modern mathematics by completing core courses in real and complex analysis, in algebra and in geometry/topology or discrete mathematics. Then students are free to take courses exploring a wide variety of topics in both pure and applied mathematics to acquire a good general knowledge of the main areas of current mathematical work.

+ +

In the independent work, students learn how to move beyond the classical knowledge found in textbooks to explore contemporary research literature through collaboration with their peers and with active researchers in mathematics or applied fields. Through this collaboration, students:

+ +
  • Learn how to join a scholarly discussion in progress to orient themselves in a rapidly developing area of research.
    • +
  • Build on their broad general knowledge of mathematics and logical reasoning skills in order to develop a working knowledge of a significant area of contemporary mathematics via the research literature.
    • +
  • Learn to identify interesting problems they want to investigate and develop their own ideas about how to carry out those investigations.
    • +
  • Learn to come up with a complete argument of their own, adapting and expanding ideas and techniques from various sources, as needed.
    • +
  • Develop mastery of rigorous logical thinking by constructing complete and correct arguments.
    • +
  • Develop mastery of clear mathematical exposition in a manner that allows and invites dialog with other scholars in the intended audience, where important definitions and theorems are clearly explained and contributions of other scholars are properly acknowledged.
    • +

The program produces critical and creative thinkers with a broad general knowledge of contemporary mathematics and with the analytic and expository skills needed for collaborative problem-solving in any quantitative setting.

+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Incoming first-year students who report a score of 5 on the BC Advanced Placement Examination (or a 7 on the IC [higher level] math examination, or an A on the British A-level math exam) will receive one unit of advanced placement credit for MAT103. For more information, please consult the website of the Office of the Dean of the College(link is external).

+ +

One unit of advanced placement credit is provisionally granted when a student enrolls in MAT 104 or 175 in the fall term of their first year. Two units of advanced placement credit are provisionally granted when a student enrolls in MAT 201, 203, 215 or 216 in the fall term of their first year. Provisional credit will be converted to advanced placement credit upon successful completion of the relevant course.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

To major in mathematics, students need a strong foundation in linear algebra and analysis, in both one and several variables, as well as experience in understanding and writing rigorous mathematical proofs. Generally, prospective majors with a very strong background in calculus are strongly recommended to start in 215(link is external), followed by 217 and 300. Prospective majors with extensive prior experience with calculus and rigorous proofs can start in 216(link is external), followed by 218. Students with an interest in rigorous proofs may start in 210 or 214 and then continue to the 215-217-300 sequence.

+ +

Students who are undecided, or students who are initially planning to major in a different quantitative discipline, may opt instead to begin their calculus and linear algebra work in the 203-204 or the 103-104-201-202 sequences, where proofs are not an emphasis. From these sequences, prospective mathematics majors should consult with the junior adviser or the associate director of undergraduate studies early on, in order to plan a program that includes as much of the 215-217-300 sequence as possible.

+ +

Most majors begin taking courses at the 300 level by the second semester of sophomore year, in preparation for their junior independent work. The junior adviser meets with students individually to help them plan a course of study. A student’s path through the upper-division courses will naturally depend on their long-term goals and prior experience.

+ +

Further information for prospective majors is available on the department home page.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Students must complete four core requirements:

+ +
  • one course in real analysis (e.g., 300 or 320 or 325 or 425 or 385)
    • +
  • one course in complex analysis (e.g., 330 or 335)
    • +
  • one course in algebra (e.g., 340 or 345)
    • +
  • one course in geometry or topology (e.g., 355 or 365 or 560)
    • +

It is recommended that students complete some of these core requirements by the end of their sophomore year. Completing these core courses early allows for more options for junior and senior independent work.

+ +

Note: One course in discrete mathematics (e.g., 375, 377, or 378) can replace the geometry/topology core requirement, if desired.

+ +

In addition to the four core requirements, students must complete an additional four courses at the 300 level or higher, up to three of which may be cognate courses outside the mathematics department, with permission from the junior or senior advisers or the director of undergraduate studies. No more than two of the eight courses may be reading courses.

+ +

The departmental grade (the average grade of the eight departmental courses) together with grades and reports on independent work is the basis on which honors and prizes are awarded upon graduation.

+ +

Students should refer to Course Offerings(link is external) to determine which courses are offered in a given term. Programs of study in various fields of pure mathematics and applied mathematics are available. Appropriate plans of study may be arranged for students interested in specialized related fields such as physics, the biological sciences, finance and computer science, for example. For students interested in these areas, a coherent program containing up to three courses in a cognate field may be approved.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

All departmental students engage in independent work, supervised by a member of the department chosen in consultation with a departmental adviser. The junior year independent work generally consists of participating actively in a junior seminar in both the fall and spring semesters. Alternatively, a student may opt to replace one junior seminar with supervised reading in a special subject and then writing a paper based on that reading. The independent work in the senior year centers on writing a senior thesis. A substantial percentage of our majors work with faculty in other departments on their senior project.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

Each senior takes an oral examination based on the senior thesis and the broader subfield to which it contributes. A departmental committee conducts the examination in May.

Program Offerings

+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

At Princeton, courses in the biological sciences are offered in two departments. Students with interests in molecular, cellular and developmental processes should enroll in the Department of Molecular Biology(link is external). Those with an evolutionary orientation and interest in organismal, population and community processes should enroll in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology(link is external).

+ +

The Department of Molecular Biology is the core of the life sciences at Princeton. We are a world-class faculty with diverse research interests spanning molecular, cell and systems biology, and we study organisms ranging from viruses, bacteria and yeast to worms, flies, fish, mice and humans. Many of our faculty have joint appointments in the Departments of Chemistry(link is external), Ecology and Evolutionary Biology(link is external), Engineering(link is external), Physics(link is external) and the Lewis Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics (link is external)or the Princeton Neuroscience Institute(link is external). The uncommon level of interdisciplinary interactions provides an exceptional environment for learning and research.

+ +

Students considering a major in molecular biology are encouraged to attend a departmental sophomore open house that is held in the spring term to introduce them to the departmental requirements, courses, faculty and research topics.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The undergraduate program in molecular biology is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to explore the central questions of 21st century biology. The curriculum provides broad foundational knowledge in core disciplines including molecular, cellular and developmental biology, biochemistry and genetics. Students acquire depth by pursuing sub-disciplines of interest in greater detail and sophistication in upper-level elective courses, which emphasize current topics and readings from the primary literature. Because the best way to learn science is by doing science, students conduct original research at the frontiers of modern science for their independent work. In addition to becoming a scholar in their chosen field, students will become adept at formulating testable hypotheses, planning and executing well-controlled experiments, analyzing and interpreting data and formally presenting their findings both orally and in writing.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

To enter the Department of Molecular Biology, students must have completed MOL 214 with a grade of C or better. CHM 201/207 and 202 or equivalent are also required to enter the department. (For the Class of 2027 and beyond, the equivalent is AP + CHM202/215 or requirement fulfillment through the chemistry placement test.) 

+ +

An alternate path into the department is through the integrated science curriculum (see below).

+ +

Note that CHM 303 and 304 or CHM 337 must also be completed before the junior year (see Requirements).  

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

General Requirements

+ +

The following courses are required:

+ +

Organic Chemistry

+ +

CHM 301 and 304, or CHM 337. Courses taken at other institutions can be used toward fulfillment of the chemistry requirements with prior approval from the Department of Chemistry. The organic chemistry requirement must be completed before the beginning of junior year.

+ +

Quantitative

+ +

Students satisfy the quantitative requirement by taking one course in statistics (SML 201, ORF 245, or MOL 290) and one course in either computer science (COS 126 or above) or math (MAT 103, 104, 175, 192, or any 200-level MAT course). SML 201 and COS 126 are the recommended choices for most students. AP credit cannot be used toward the fulfillment of the quantitative requirement. Courses taken at other institutions can be substituted for the second required course (but not for the statistics course), if approved by the corresponding department.

+ +

Physics

+ +

Physics 108 (strongly recommended), or PHY 103 and 104, or PHY 101 and 102. PHY 108 is a one-semester, biologically oriented alternative to the traditional full-year sequences. Premedical students who need two semesters of physics can combine PHY 101 or 103 with PHY 108. Neither AP credit nor courses taken at other institutions can be used toward the fulfillment of the physics requirement.

+ +

Departmental Core Courses

+ +

The following core courses are required: MOL 342, MOL 345, MOL 348 and MOL 320/350. Except under very special circumstances, these courses must be taken before senior year. MOL 350 is offered in the fall to junior majors and is the conventional path for the major. MOL 320 has limited enrollment and is offered in the spring to sophomores who intend to major in MOL and plan to study abroad(link is external), or have taken/are concurrently taking MOL 348 and want an early introduction to research methods and laboratory experience. MOL 320 and MOL 350 are considered equivalent courses and only one can be taken.

+ +

All four departmental core courses count toward the eight required departmentals. No substitutions are allowed except in the case of study abroad which, if it entails intensive research and with advanced permission, can substitute for MOL 350. 

+ +

Other Departmentals

+ +

All students must take a total of at least eight departmentals. In addition to the four departmental core courses, students must take at least one 300-, 400-, or 500-level course with MOL as the primary listing. The remaining three departmentals can be chosen from among all 300-or-higher-level MOL, MOL-cross-listed, or other approved courses (see list on department website). Note that CHM 301, CHM 304 and CHM 337 qualify as departmentals. Only courses taken at Princeton count as departmentals; there are no exceptions to this rule.

+ +

Any course that is a prerequisite, requirement or departmental must be taken for a letter grade (no pass/D/fail). The sole exception is that, at the point of declaring the MOL major, students may appeal to "uncover" a single P grade in order to meet a prerequisite or requirement for entry. See the Office of the Dean of the College's policy on appealing to rescind a P grade(link is external).

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work

+ +

In the fall semester of junior year, students participate in small group tutorials led by postdocs in which they read papers from the original literature and prepare two critical analysis papers on assigned topics. In the spring semester, students carry out independent work with a faculty adviser with whom they will eventually do their senior thesis research, culminating in a junior paper in the form of a grant proposal.

+ +

Senior Independent Work

+ +

During senior year each student, with the guidance of a faculty adviser, undertakes a major research effort. This research project can be a laboratory- or non-laboratory-based study that will be written and presented as a senior thesis.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

Students are required to present their work to two faculty thesis readers during an oral exam at which the adviser is not present. The exam usually takes about 30 minutes and students should be prepared to describe the background of the thesis, defend its contents and propose future directions.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Juniors who wish to study abroad must complete at least one departmental core course beforehand. Specifically, molecular biology majors who wish to study abroad must complete the following courses by the end of sophomore year: MOL 214 (or ISC 231-234), CHM 304 and at least one of the four MOL core courses (MOL 342, MOL 345, MOL 348, MOL 350).

+ +

While abroad, students need to complete the equivalent of the fall semester junior independent work. Programs that entail intensive laboratory research can, with advance permission, substitute for MOL 350. None of the other core courses (MOL 342, MOL 345, MOL 348) can be completed abroad, nor can any major graduate with fewer than eight approved departmentals taken at Princeton.

+ +

The Office of International Programs(link is external) has a detailed list of study abroad options on their website. Interested students should, at their earliest opportunity, discuss their plans with the departmental study abroad adviser, Fred Hughson(link sends email).

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Integrated Science Sequence

+ +

An alternative path into the department is through the integrated science curriculum. ISC 231-234 (a full-year, double-credit course) can be taken in the first year and substitutes for MOL 214, CHM 201 and 202, COS 126, and PHY 103 and 104. Students cannot receive credit for both an ISC course and its alternative. For full course descriptions and more information, see the integrated science integrated science website(link is external).

+ +

Approved Courses for Departmental Credit

+ +

See the departmental website(link is external) for an up-to-date list of approved departmentals. Other courses may be approved upon consideration by the departmental undergraduate committee(link is external).

+ +

Program in Biophysics(link is external)

+ +

The biophysics certificate/minor program is designed for students with strong interests in molecular biology and physics who wish to combine these two subjects in their junior and senior independent work. The program offers a combination of courses and interdisciplinary research that meet the requirements of the physics or molecular biology departments, and entry requirements of graduate schools in both physics and molecular biology. Courses are chosen with the help of advisers in the Departments of Physics and Molecular Biology. Students are admitted to the program once they have chosen their major and consulted with the program director, who will assign them an adviser.

+ +

Program in Global Health and Health Policy(link is external)

+ +

The global health and health policy certificate program is an interdepartmental program in which undergraduates can study the determinants, consequences and patterns of disease across societies; the role of medical technologies and interventions in health improvements; and the economic, political and social factors that shape domestic and global public health. In addition to the core departmental courses, molecular biology majors should take GHP 350 and GHP 351 by the end of junior year. Most upper-level MOL courses fulfill the requirements for the global health and health policy certificate.

+ +

Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology(link is external)

+ +

The quantitative and computational biology certificate program is designed for students with a strong interest in multidisciplinary and systems-level approaches to understanding molecular, cellular and organismal behavior. The curriculum introduces students to experimental and analytic techniques for acquisition of large-scale quantitative observations, and the interpretation of such data in the context of appropriate models. Strong emphasis is placed on using global genome-wide measurements to understand physiological and evolutionary processes. The required courses provide a strong background in modern methodologies in data analysis, interpretation and modeling.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Department of Music(link is external) aims to give students a broad foundation for making, performing, studying and writing about music. As part of the major, students pursue work in two loosely defined areas: Culture and Criticism (C&C) and Materials and Making (M&M). M&M encompasses topics usually explored in hands-on, exploratory ways, such as composition, improvisation, theory, analysis and electronic music. The C&C area focuses on the scholarly study of music, from historical and formalist analysis to cognitive science and ethnography. Whether our majors ultimately choose to make music, to research and write about it, or do both, they are encouraged to develop independent work that moves across traditional disciplinary or methodological boundaries. In more prosaic terms, we want our majors to discover a passion for what they are doing, while also learning how that passion aligns with developing abilities.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Irrespective of methodology or approach, music majors may consider the following set of general goals. As music majors, students:

+ +
  • Develop technical proficiency. This proficiency can take many forms, but we expect students to develop skills and techniques necessary to carry out a project. Examples range from capacity in orchestration and counterpoint, to knowledge of other languages and facility with computer languages; other examples are familiarity with empirical research processes and archival and ethnographic methods. Note well: “skills” should never be trivialized as “too applied.” Studying counterpoint or audio engineering is, at least in part, about developing and enriching a music practice — one that has concrete intellectual challenges and requires solid knowledge bases.
    • +
  • Learn how to apply skills or techniques appropriate to the project at hand. Over the course of junior and senior years, students will hone skills as needed to complete independent work, while simultaneously shaping projects according to existing skill sets.
    • +
  • Learn how to position independent work within the history of music. For example, a recent senior thesis on experimental music included an essay on the history of the practice, situating experimentalism within the contexts of improvisation and Black radicalism.
    • +
  • Conceive how independent work is situated within a domain of specialists.
    • +
  • Cultivate the ability to imagine critical responses to work. Students need to be able to dialogue with critics in an informed manner.
    • +
  • Learn to manage the inevitable frustrations and road blocks that arise, while carrying out independent work.
    • +
  • Engage closely with the methods learned in coursework and familiarize themselves with relevant music and/or literature.
    • +
+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

The Department of Music does not grant advanced placement exam credit.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Students interested in the music major are required to gain exposure to coursework in both the Culture and Criticism and Materials and Making areas before entering the department. The prerequisites are satisfied through the completion of MUS 105, one M&M course, and one C&C course. Under special circumstances, students may be able to place out of MUS 105 by demonstrating equivalent knowledge in an exam given by the music faculty or scoring a 5 on the AP Music exam. Students who place out of MUS 105 will be required to take an additional elective to meet the minimum requirement of 11 courses in the major.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Class of 2024. Majors are strongly encouraged to complete the requirements below, and are required to take the credit-bearing junior seminar. Students should consult the director of undergraduate studies or the academic programs administrator for details of the previous requirements.

+ +

Class of 2025 and beyond. Students majoring in music take a total of 11 courses in the major:

+ +
  • Three prerequisite courses (MUS 105, one M&M course, one C&C course);
    • +
  • Two additional courses in Culture and Criticism;
    • +
  • Two courses in Materials and Making (one of the three total M&M courses, including the M&M prerequisite, must include a significant musicianship/ear-training component; current eligible courses are MUS 106, MUS 245, MUS 261, MUS 316, and MUS 319, or an alternative approved by the DUS);
    • +
  • Three additional electives, two of which should be at the 300 level or higher; and
    • +
  • A credit-bearing junior seminar (MUS 300).
    • +

Music majors in the Program in Music Performance certificate may use one performance course (such as MPP 213, 214, 216, 219, 251, 252, MUS 340) as a departmental.

+ +

Majors design their program of study in close consultation with the director of undergraduate studies and are strongly encouraged to meet with the DUS in their first year to plan potential paths through the curriculum, as some upper-level courses have their own prerequisites. In general, we encourage students to lead with their strengths but also to take risks and step out of their comfort zones, principles that should guide their course choices.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Seminar – MUS 300

+ +

A fall-term junior seminar introduces students to some of the methodological, technical, creative and disciplinary issues involved in the study and making of music. Assignments may relate to, or inform, their independent work, but will be graded separately from the JIW. Students who are abroad during the fall of junior year can complete the junior seminar during the fall term of senior year.

+ +

Junior Independent Work

+ +

Junior independent work begins in the fall, usually in the context of the junior seminar, and continues into the spring with a faculty adviser. The nature of this work can vary greatly, but for reference, it might consist of a research paper of approximately 30–40 pages, or an original composition of roughly 6–10 minutes (which would typically include a short paper detailing motivations and context for the composition). These are only guidelines, and the eventual scale of the work will depend on its nature. The specific goals for the project are worked out with a faculty adviser (identified during the fall semester), resulting in a proposal consisting of a summary of the project aims and context, an outline and references to related work (bibliography for research papers, associated repertoire for compositions and other material as appropriate to the project); this proposal should be submitted to the adviser and DUS before the end of fall semester, though the grade for the proposal will be held and included in the final grade for the year-long project.

+ +

Senior Independent Work

+ +

The senior independent work consists of a year-long project devised by the student and approved by a faculty adviser. Again, for reference, it might consist of a research paper of approximately 60–80 pages, or an original composition of roughly 12–20 minutes (including a short accompanying paper), but the specific topics can vary widely, as described above; as with the JIW, these are only guidelines, and the eventual scale of the work will depend on its nature. Ideally, a faculty adviser will be identified in the spring of junior year to help the student develop an appropriate scope for the project. The JIW and SIW topics need not be related, but often are. The thesis grade is the average of the grades given by the faculty adviser and a second faculty reader.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

On a date arranged by the department, senior majors must take a final departmental examination in the form of a scheduled senior thesis presentation. The senior thesis presentation includes an overview of the thesis focusing on motivation, methodology and result. The total duration of the presentation should not exceed 30–45 minutes. The presentation is immediately followed by 10–15 minutes of questions from the thesis adviser and others in attendance.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Music majors are encouraged to explore the many study abroad opportunities offered at Princeton. Among these is the unique collaboration Princeton maintains with the Royal College of Music(link is external) in London (link is external), in which students have the opportunity to participate in a five-year double-degree program (A.B. and M.M.). Students spend the fall semester of their junior year in London. Interested current and prospective music majors should email the director of the Program in Music Performance for further details.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Ensembles and Instrumental and Vocal Lessons

+ +

Majors are encouraged to take an active part in performing music. All majors have the opportunity to take vocal or instrumental lessons from world-class professionals on the performance faculty. For students majoring in music or pursuing a certificate (Class of 2024) or minor in Music Performance (Class of 2025 and beyond), the full cost of these lessons is paid for by the University (during  junior and senior years). Note that MPP 298-299, Independent Instruction in Voice or Instrument, can only be taken once. Students can also gain exposure to performance by participating in one of the departmental ensembles. For further information on lessons, ensembles and performance opportunities, please contact the department’s program manager.

+ +

Other Academic Preparation

+ +

Students planning graduate study in musicology or theory should achieve reading and speaking proficiency in at least one language, depending upon their areas of interest. Students with interests in composition may want preparation in engineering and computer science. Majors should discuss this with the DUS.

Program Offerings

+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Department of Near Eastern Studies(link is external) offers a liberal arts major designed to give students competence in a Near Eastern language and broad knowledge of the literatures, civilizations, politics and history of the late ancient, medieval and modern Near East (comprising Afghanistan, the Arab countries, Central Asia, Iran, Israel, Islamic Africa, South Asia and Turkey). Accordingly, a plan of study is built around departmental and cognate courses in history, literature, religion, law, anthropology, politics, economics and public policy, combined with the study of one or more Near Eastern languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian or Turkish), determined by the student's interest. In addition to serving as the focal point of a broad liberal arts education, the Near Eastern studies major can be the basis for graduate or professional study in a range of fields in the humanities and social sciences. The department's many small classes and seminars allow extensive student/teacher interaction and equip students to pursue careers in business, finance, economics, international affairs, government, diplomacy, journalism and public policy.

+ +

Departmental majors achieve a broad understanding of the varieties of regions, cultures and religions of the Near East in the more distant past as well as in the modern period. Students gain the tools of the multiple disciplines employed by scholars of Near Eastern studies. The department’s curricular guidelines help ensure that students reach these objectives while also giving them significant flexibility to forge their own educational paths in the department.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The Department of Near Eastern Studies introduces students to the study of the history, languages, religions, literatures, politics and cultures of the Near East region, broadly defined to include not just the Middle East (the Arab world, Turkey, Israel and Iran), but also North Africa, South Asia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. As an area studies department, our perspective on the region is multidisciplinary, drawing upon a range of approaches from the humanities and the social sciences. NES majors gain an understanding of the region through courses that cover a range of time periods, regional interests and disciplinary methods. 

+ +

Students in Near Eastern Studies will gain competence in one or more Near Eastern language, acquiring core communication skills and learning to conduct research in primary sources in Arabic, Turkish, Persian and/or Hebrew. NES students learn to view the region through multiple lenses, learning to think transhistorically through coursework that focuses on both the premodern and the modern periods, and to engage in interdisciplinary projects through exposure to diverse academic approaches. Through this approach, students are encouraged to go beyond the headlines, thinking critically about the representation of the Near East in academic and popular settings. Beyond core training in language and area studies, students pursue their research through a course of study tailored to their own regional and disciplinary interests. In their independent work, students have the opportunity to engage in original archival and field research. By focusing on skills like the close reading of primary sources, formal analysis of visual and material culture, conducting archival and field research, and clear expression in both oral and written presentation, students are trained to conduct analysis on the Near East in multiple settings, including academia, government, the public and private sectors and social organizations.

+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Advanced placement is available in all of the languages offered by the department. Students seeking advanced placement in Arabic should follow the procedures for online language placement testing on Canvas(link is external). Students seeking advanced placement in Persian or Turkish should consult the director of undergraduate studies to arrange for testing with the appropriate language instructor. Students seeking advanced placement in Hebrew should follow the procedures for online language placement testing on Canvas(link is external). A student with a Hebrew subject test score of 760 or a high score on the departmental Hebrew placement examination week will be considered to have satisfied the A.B. language requirement and to be eligible for placement in a 300-level course.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

A student who has completed at least one course in the department is eligible to major in Near Eastern studies. This course may be a language class or a course or seminar offered in any of the disciplines covered by the department.

+
+
+

Language Requirements

+

Students must complete four semesters (i.e., through 107 level) of Arabic, Hebrew, Persian or Turkish. Students are advised to begin their language training as early as possible, and are encouraged, albeit not required, to continue language study at the advanced level and to utilize their chosen Near Eastern language for senior thesis research. The necessary language training for the A.B. degree can be acquired through a combination of language study at Princeton, intensive summer language study and study abroad programs. The department will help each undergraduate major develop a language training schedule appropriate to their planned course of study.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year

+ +

Students write one junior paper over the course of the junior year in consultation with a member of the faculty. Students submit a proposal (including an outline and an annotated bibliography) for their junior independent work in the fall semester and a completed junior paper in the spring semester. Students are encouraged to visit the websites for NES Junior Independent Work Guidelines(link is external) and important deadlines for the Junior Paper(link is external).

+ +

Senior Year

+ +

Each student prepares a senior thesis in consultation with a member of the faculty. Students are encouraged to visit the websites for NES Senior Thesis Guidelines(link is external) and important deadlines for the senior thesis(link is external).

+ +

The choice of junior paper and senior thesis topics must be approved by the student's adviser.

+
+
+

Additional Requirements

+

Departmental Requirements

+ +

Students take eight departmental courses in Near Eastern studies. Up to three of these courses may be from cognate departments, upon approval of the director of undergraduate studies. 

+ +

Language courses beyond the second year count as departmentals, courses in a second Near Eastern language at any level (including introductory) may likewise count as departmentals.  

+ +

All students are required to take NES 300 (Seminar in Research Methods) in junior year unless they are studying abroad that semester, in which case they are required to take NES 300 in their senior year. 

+ +

The remaining seven courses must satisfy the following chronological, regional and disciplinary distribution requirements:

+ +

Historical Periods: Students must take at least one course that focuses on the premodern Near East and at least one course that focuses on the modern Near East.

+ +

Regions: Students must take two regionally specific courses, with each of the two courses focusing on a different one of the following six subregions of the Near East:

+ +
  • Egypt, North Africa, and Andalusia
    • +
  • The Levant, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninsula
    • +
  • Ottoman Empire/Turkey
    • +
  • Iran
    • +
  • Muslim South and Central Asia
    • +
  • Diasporic communities
    • +

Disciplines: Students must take at least one course in two of the following four disciplines:

+ +
  • History
    • +
  • Literature
    • +
  • Social sciences
    • +
  • Religion
    • +

A single course may satisfy multiple distribution requirements across these domains (historical periods, regions and disciplines). For example, a course focusing on 20th-century Turkish literature may count as modern (historical periods), Ottoman Empire/Turkey (regions), and literature (disciplines). 

+ +

A single course may not, however, satisfy more than one distribution requirement within a single domain; thus a course on Arabic literature that spans the premodern and modern periods would not satisfy both the premodern and modern historical periods requirements.

+ +

Students who wish to undertake a plan of study that does not meet these guidelines must apply for a waiver from the undergraduate committee. Waivers will be granted only in exceptional cases.

+
+
+

Certificate in Language and Culture

+

The Department of Near Eastern Studies(link is external) offers students the opportunity to earn a certificate in one of the area's languages and cultures while majoring in another department.

+ +

Certificate Requirements: The certificate is open to undergraduates in all departments. Students should consult the director of undergraduate studies by the end of sophomore year to plan a program of study. Ordinarily, students majoring in language and literature departments, including comparative literature, will be eligible for the certificate in language and culture provided that: (a) the linguistic base for the language and culture certificate is different from the linguistic base of the major; and (b) the work required for the language and culture certificate does not duplicate the requirements of the major. Students pursuing area studies certificates may earn the certificate in language and culture provided that: (a) the courses they elect to satisfy the requirements of the area studies program are different from those they elect to satisfy the requirements of the language and culture certificate program; and (b) they submit a piece of independent work in addition to the independent work that satisfies the requirements of the area studies program and the home department. The requirements for work done in the Department of Near Eastern Studies are:

+ +
  1. Studying one of the languages taught in the department — Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Turkish — beyond the level required for completion of the University language requirement.
    2. +
  2. Completing at least three departmental courses at the 300 level or higher in language, literature or culture that involve extensive use of the designated language.
    3. +
  3. Completing a piece of independent work that makes substantive use of a Near Eastern language. Most often this is a substantial research paper (approximately 7,000 words) written under the supervision of a member of the department.
    4. +

In addition to 300- and 400-level language courses, any graduate courses open to qualified undergraduates may be used to satisfy the departmental requirements above with the permission of the director of undergraduate studies.

+ +

Finally, a course (including courses on literature in translation) in which the student arranges with the instructor to do substantial reading in their designated language may also count toward the certificate in language and culture. This must be arranged on a case-by-case basis with the instructor involved.

+ +

Any questions regarding the certificate in language and culture should be addressed to the director of undergraduate studies.

The Princeton Neuroscience Institute(link is external) offers the neuroscience major for undergraduates with a strong interest in pursuing an in-depth study of the brain. Neuroscience is a broad interdisciplinary field requiring rigorous preparation in basic science. Students in this discipline are expected to understand the basic principles and approaches of modern neuroscience. The major provides an opportunity for the serious study of molecular, cellular, developmental and systems neuroscience as it interfaces with cognitive and behavioral research. Since modern neuroscience is relying increasingly on quantitatively sophisticated methods and theory, students are also expected to gain competency in physics, mathematics and computation. By offering a combination of courses and interdisciplinary research, students who complete the neuroscience major will be highly qualified to pursue graduate work at the best neuroscience, psychology or biology graduate programs and will also have completed, in large part, the background requirements to enter medical or veterinary school. Other possible career paths for those with a neuroscience degree can be found on our website.(link is external) 

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

The neuroscience major provides foundational and advanced undergraduate courses on the scientific study of the brain and biology of behavior as well as practical training in theoretical, computational and/or laboratory approaches to original neuroscience research. Students learn about different levels of analysis, from the molecular mechanisms of intercellular signaling to the formation and function of neural circuits to the generation of thought and movements via large-scale neural systems. Students also learn about cutting-edge methods in neuroscience, including laboratory techniques, computational modeling and statistics. Through their independent work, students work with faculty advisers and their teams to gain understanding of how to approach current neuroscientific problems. This work can include the generation of new data via experiments, the novel analysis of existing data sets or the formulation of new perspectives and hypotheses via the thoughtful consideration of the existing literature.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

To enter the neuroscience major, students must have completed NEU 201 Fundamentals of Neuroscience, NEU 202 Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience, and MAT 103 Calculus I.

+ +

Note:

+ +
  • Placement into or out of MAT 103 is decided by the Department of Mathematics.
    • +
  • Students must receive a passing grade in each prerequisite course in order to enter the neuroscience major.
    • +
  • Students do not need to take NEU 201 before NEU 202.

+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work. In the fall semester of junior year, students are required to participate in tutorials, read papers from the original literature and prepare papers on assigned topics. In the spring term, students write a research proposal with the guidance of a faculty adviser with whom they will eventually do their senior thesis.

+ +

Senior Independent Work. During the senior year each student, with the guidance of a faculty adviser, undertakes a major research effort. This research project can be a laboratory or independent study that will be written and presented as a senior thesis.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

Students are required to present their work to two thesis readers during an oral exam. The exam usually takes about 30 minutes and students should be prepared to describe the background of the thesis, defend its contents and propose future directions. The grade for the oral defense will be the average of the two from the faculty members. 

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Students interested in study abroad should consult with the director of undergraduate studies (DUS) as early as possible to discuss how best to pursue this possibility and to obtain the necessary course approval.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Entry through the Integrated Science Sequence (ISC)

+ +

The first-year ISC sequence (ISC 231, 232, 233, 234) offers an alternative to the combination of MOL 214 or 215 (biology elective), COS 126 (quantitative thinking elective), and PHY 101-102 (required courses). ISC 236 Biochemistry and Neuroscience offers an alternative to NEU 201 (a prerequisite). ISC 235 Genetics and Genomics, offers an alternative to MOL 342, Genetics (and will thus count as a "biology" elective).

Goals for Student Learning

+

Philosophy is concerned with questions, many debated since antiquity, that are too big or too contentious to allow their just being handed off to experts in a particular branch of science or scholarship. What distinguishes philosophical thinking about such questions is a commitment to reasoned argument and the evidence of experience, without appeal to tradition, authority or the like, and to always being prepared to listen to arguments from the other side. Majors are offered a wide range of introductory and advanced courses in all areas of the subject, including metaphysics and epistemology (big questions about what is or must be and how we can know), as well as ethics and theory of value, logic and philosophy of science, and the history of philosophy. Students are required to do work in their choice of at least three different areas. But courses in all areas emphasize learning to write in a way that will not advocate a view without offering an argument for it, and that exhibits such virtues as clarity in enunciating whatever views are considered, and accuracy in reporting the arguments of other writers.

+ +

The qualities of thinking and writing that are key to the major are valuable in a variety of careers; we have undergraduate alumni active today throughout the public and private spheres. When asked what they gained as philosophy majors, what they tend to mention especially is the way they learned to think and write: “Philosophy …honed my analytic ability, an ability I have drawn upon virtually every day in my professional work,” remarks one, an educator and philanthropist. “My experience as a Princeton philosophy major taught me to think clearly, argue persuasively and write clearly,” says another, a journalist.

+ +

The skills to be acquired by majoring in philosophy include the ability to think and write in an organized and disciplined way about confusing and controversial questions, to treat one’s beliefs as serviceable as they are but capable of improvement, and to react to criticism not with outrage but with a willingness to state the grounds for one’s views and to listen to the grounds of others for theirs. Such skills are of value not only in a career, but in life. For majors, the greatest opportunity to acquire and display such skills comes with junior and especially senior independent work, where our students have addressed philosophically no end of issues, with recent thesis titles ranging from "Seeing color" to “Patience, its limits and how to apply it" to "The problem of tainted base rates" to "Rethinking the method of reflective equilibrium in the light of experimental philosophy" to "A just approach to genetic engineering" to "Selfhood and ethical development in Søren Kierkegaard and Iris Murdoch" and far beyond.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Any course in the philosophy department (link is external)may serve as a prerequisite for the major. A student who has not satisfied this prerequisite and who, at the end of sophomore year, desires to enter the department must apply to the director of undergraduate studies.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year. During fall semester of junior year, independent work normally involves participation in a seminar of up to five students under the supervision of an instructor from the faculty of the department. The seminar provides a transition from coursework to fully independent work. A junior seminar meets weekly for an hour or biweekly for two hours to discuss readings selected by the instructor, and each student writes a final paper, normally of at least 5,000 words, on a topic in the area defined by those readings, usually chosen by the student from a list provided by the instructor. (The student's grade for fall semester independent work will be based mainly on this paper, but it is usually based partly on shorter papers and/or oral presentations in the seminar earlier in the term.) During spring semester of junior year, independent work consists of writing a junior paper — an essay on a philosophical topic, normally of at least 5,000 words — under the supervision of an individual faculty adviser (different from the student's fall seminar instructor).

+ +

Senior Year. Senior year independent work consists of the following: writing the senior thesis, an essay or group of related essays on a topic or group of related topics in philosophy, normally of at least 10,000 words (and normally of at most 15,000 words); and preparation for the departmental examination (see below). The thesis is read, the examination is conducted, and both are graded by a committee of two members of the faculty, one primarily for advising the thesis, the other for coordinating the examination. A short thesis proposal is due just before fall recess and an interim thesis draft, normally of at least 5,000 words (not necessarily in final form), is due just after winter recess.

+
+
+

Additional Requirements

+

General Requirements

+ +

Distribution Requirement. Six of the eight courses must be so distributed that there are two in each of three of the four areas into which philosophy courses are divided; there is no such restriction on the remaining two of the eight. The four distribution areas are as follows:

+ +
  1. Metaphysics: 203, 218, 237, 311, 313, 315, 317, 318, 337, 338
    2. +
  2. Ethics and Philosophy of Value: 202, 306, 307, 309, 319, 320, 325, 326, 335, 360, 380, 384, 385, 390, 391, 419
    3. +
  3. Logic and Philosophy of Science: 201, 204, 312, 314, 321, 322, 323, 327, 340, 490
    4. +
  4. History of Philosophy: 200, 205, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 306, 332, 333, 335, 338
    5. +

Interdisciplinary Options

+ +

Political Philosophy. Senior majors doing their theses in political philosophy have the option of substituting for the usual distribution requirement (two courses in each of three areas plus two unrestricted courses) the following: two courses from among those listed under the Department of Politics as courses in political theory; two philosophy courses in the ethics and philosophy of value area; two philosophy courses in one other philosophy distribution area; and two philosophy courses unrestricted as to distribution area.

+ +

Philosophy of Science. Senior majors doing their theses in philosophy of science have the option of substituting for the usual distribution requirements (two courses in each of three areas plus two unrestricted courses) the following: two upper-division (300-level or higher) courses in one relevant science (such as mathematics, computer science, physics, biology, psychology, economics); two philosophy courses in the logic and philosophy of science area; two philosophy courses in one other philosophy distribution area; and two philosophy courses unrestricted as to distribution area.

+ +

Philosophy and Linguistics. Philosophy majors participating in the certificate program in linguistics may follow the philosophy of science option just described, taking linguistics as their science. All courses listed under the Program in Linguistics as core, other, or related courses may be considered courses in the science of linguistics for this purpose.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The senior departmental examination is a 90-minute oral examination on the general area of philosophy to which the thesis topic belongs. The final syllabus of readings for the departmental examination (agreed upon between the student and their examination coordinator and thesis adviser) is due by the last week of classes.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Each year some junior philosophy majors spend one or both semesters on study overseas, usually in Britain. The department has generally been flexible in allowing, within the limits of University regulations, departmental credit for work done abroad. If the student is planning to be away for only one semester and has a choice, the department recommends choosing spring so as not to miss the fall junior seminars here.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

Students contemplating going on to graduate study in philosophy are strongly advised to do more than the minimum required of all majors: to take more than just eight philosophy courses; to do some work in all four areas of philosophy and not just three; to include in their work in the philosophy of value area some in core ethics (at least one of 202, 307, 319, 335) and in their work in the philosophy of science area some in core logic (at least one of 201, 312, 323, 340); and to include in their work in the history area some on ancient philosophy (at least one of 205, 300, 301, 335) and some on modern philosophy (at least one of 200, 302-306, 332, 333, 338). Also it is advisable to study at least to the level of the University language requirement one of the following: ancient Greek, Latin, French or German.

+ +

Courses numbered below 300 have no prerequisite and are open to underclass students. Most courses numbered 300 and above are intended for students who have already had some philosophy; others should consult the instructor before enrolling. With some exceptions, 200-level courses are given every year. Other courses are scheduled on the principle that a student majoring in the department for a two-year period will be able to work out a well-balanced program and satisfy the department's distribution requirements with significant freedom of choice.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The physics department offers a comprehensive program with the flexibility to accommodate students with a range of interests. Those students wishing to maximize their preparation for graduate school can choose from a variety of advanced-level courses. The requirements of the core curriculum, however, are such that students with diverse interests can take a considerable course load outside the department. Thus, in addition to those students planning to enter graduate school in physics, the department encourages majors with career goals in such areas as engineering physics, law, medicine, materials science and teaching.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

As a discipline, physics addresses the material Universe at its most fundamental level. A surprisingly small number of physical laws are sufficient to describe natural phenomena from subatomic to cosmological scales. The goals of physics are to push to ever deeper levels of understanding of the physical world, and to push upward, extending our understanding to more complicated systems, including molecules, fluids, solids, galaxies and living things.

+ +

Majoring in physics will not only teach you about the structure of physical law; it will allow you to take part in its discovery. In the process you will acquire universally valuable skills, including analytic problem-solving, methods of estimation and approximation, and reasoning both inductively and from first principles. Furthermore, you will build your intuition for how the physical world works, from electricity, the phases of matter, forms of energy, to the quantum realm.

+ +

Physics majors are prepared not only for a career in physics, but many other fields as well. Physics alumni may be found in academic and industrial physics research positions as well as consulting, medicine, law, teaching, biotechnology, university leadership and engineering.

+ +

A unique aspect of your experience at Princeton is the degree of involvement in contemporary physics through your own independent research. Each of two junior papers provides an opportunity to explore, in depth, an active area of current research.

+ +

The senior thesis is the capstone of the physics major and an opportunity for intellectual exploration broader than courses can afford. It is a year-long collaboration with a faculty member that is intended to actually contribute to current research in an area that is of greatest interest to you. Whether your thesis is on gravity and cosmology, condensed matter, or string theory, it invariably represents your highest effort to come to grips with science as a living, breathing subject.

+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

Students can take requirement fulfillment exams administered by the physics department to satisfy the basic physics requirements of the biological sciences (PHY101-102) or SEAS (PHY103-104). Passing the department-administered exams is the only way to receive advanced placement, although these will not satisfy the prerequisite requirements for any 200-level physics course. A separate exam is offered to place into PHY 207, which does serve to fulfill the departmental and course prerequisite requirements of the PHY103/104 and PHY105/106 course sequences.
+ 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Prerequisites for a major in physics are the following five courses: PHY 103-104, PHY 207, and MAT 203-204. These five courses should be completed by the end of sophomore year. PHY 103 may be replaced by ISC 231-232 (the first term of Integrated Science Sequence) or PHY 105. PHY 104 may be replaced by ISC 233-234 or PHY 106. The PHY 109/110 (spring/summer) sequence is fully equivalent to PHY 104. Students with a particular interest in formal mathematics may instead satisfy the MAT 203-204 prerequisite with either the MAT 215-217 or the MAT 216-218 sequence. Prerequisites for majoring in physics cannot be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.

+ +

It is possible to major in physics starting with 100-level physics courses in sophomore year. Interested students should meet with the director of undergraduate studies as early as possible.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Upon completion of the prerequisites described above, courses required for majoring in physics are as follows:

+ +
  1. One semester of quantum mechanics: PHY 208.
    2. +
  2. One semester of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics: PHY 301.
    3. +
  3. One semester of experimental physics: PHY 312.
    4. +
  4. One course on complex analysis or on differential equations chosen from the following list:   +
    • APC 350
      • +
    • MAE 305
      • +
    • MAE 306
      • +
    • MAT 330
      • +
    • MAT 335
      • +
    • MAT 427
      • +
    5. +
  5. One additional course in physics (not including cross-lists) at the 300-level or above.
    6. +
  6. One additional course in physics at the 300-level or above, including cross-lists.
    7. +
  7. One additional course in either physics or math at the 300-level or above, including cross-lists.
    8. +
  8. One elective course at the 300-level or higher, as detailed below.
    9. +

All eight courses must be taken for a letter grade, not pass/D/fail. Note that this excludes any pass/D/fail–only courses from counting as one of the eight.

+ +

The elective course can be any physics department course (including cross-lists) at 300-level or above. 400-level physics courses are particularly recommended. Courses in astrophysics, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geophysical science, materials science, plasma physics and mathematics may also be appropriate, depending on the interests of the student. Courses from these departments may be approved on a case-by-case basis by the director of undergraduate studies. Graduate courses may also be taken with permission from both the instructor and the director of undergraduate studies.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Early Major 

+ +

Students who complete the prerequisites for the major before the end of sophomore year may declare an early major in physics. They may be offered an opportunity to undertake independent work during the spring term by writing the first junior paper. Students interested in this option must do so with the advice and consent of the physics department and the residential college director of studies.

+ +

Junior Year

+ +

In addition to the coursework carried out during junior year, the student is required to complete two junior papers, each of which is on a research topic of current interest. The purpose of the papers is to give students exposure to how physics research is actually performed by immersing them in journal, as opposed to textbook, literature. Each paper is written in close consultation with a faculty adviser, who is typically performing research in the subject area of the paper. A junior paper may serve as a preliminary investigation of a senior thesis topic. Junior independent work may also be satisfied with a short experimental project.

+ +

Senior Year

+ +

In senior year, in addition to coursework, students write a senior thesis based on their own research. The topic might be chosen from one of the active experimental or theoretical research fields of the physics department, or might be suggested by a faculty member with some subsidiary interest. A student could also choose a topic relating to physics and another field, such as geophysics, the teaching of physics, history of science or engineering physics. Students whose main adviser is outside the physics department must also have a co-adviser who is a faculty member in the physics department.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

An oral examination conducted by a departmental committee at the end of senior year serves as the senior departmental examination.

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

Physics Department Facilities

+ +

The research laboratories in Jadwin Hall (the main physics building) are open to undergraduates to conduct supervised research for their junior papers, senior theses and summer jobs. There is a "student shop" that offers a (noncredit) course in the use of machine tools. Students with an experimental bent are encouraged to take this course and are then able to participate actively in the construction of experimental apparatus. There are graduate courses in electronics (PHY 557 and PHY 558) open to undergraduates that prepare students to design and build the sophisticated electronics required in modern experiments.

+
+ +
+
+
+ +

Certificate Programs

+ +

For those students with an interest in such topics as solid-state devices, optics, fluid mechanics, engineering design, control theory, computer applications, or other applied disciplines, the Program in Engineering Physics provides an opportunity for close contact with the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Specific requirements for the engineering physics certificate can be found in the section of this announcement on the Program in Engineering Physics.

+ +

The Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology is designed for students with a strong interest in multidisciplinary and systems-level approaches to understanding molecular, cellular and organismal behavior. The required courses provide a strong background in modern methodologies in data analysis, interpretation and modeling.

Goals for Student Learning

+

The Department of Politics(link is external) expects students to accomplish each of the following key learning goals by the time of graduation:

+ +
  • Show command of the language of political science and politics in several of its subfields.
    • +
  • Understand the methods commonly used in several of its subfields.
    • +
  • Learn the material for one subfield at a level of expertise and practical application necessary to understand the scholarly discourse.
    • +
  • Command a set of tools appropriate to conduct independent and original research in one subfield. These tools differ by subfield (see below).
    • +
  • Understand the political, historical, institutional context pertaining to a particular topic of research sufficiently to conduct independent and original research in that subfield.
    • +

+ +

+ +

+ +

+ +

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Normally, students entering the department must have successfully completed at least two courses offered by the Department of Politics on a graded basis before the end of sophomore year. The first two courses taken in politics are considered prerequisites(link is external). Prerequisites may not be taken as pass/D/fail. Courses taken as prerequisites will be counted as departmentals and may be used to fulfill distribution requirements. It is strongly recommended that one or both of the prerequisites be at the 200 level.

+ +

In addition, on a case-by-case basis, the DUS will consider counting a course taught by a regular politics faculty in another department that is not cross-listed with politics for departmental credit. If appropriate, such a departmental course may be approved to count as a prerequisite, and toward the 3-2-1 requirement, under the discretion of the DUS.

+ +

Effective with the Class of 2025, only one of the two prerequisites may be an analytical course (e.g., POL 345). For example: (1) If a student has taken POL 345 and POL 346 as their first two politics courses, a third politics course will be required — one of which must not include a course that counts as meeting the department's analytical requirement(link is external) (e.g., POL 250, POL 345, POL 347, etc.), OR (2) A student who has taken SOC 245/POL 245 and POL 345 as their first two politics courses will be required to take a third departmental in order to declare the major by the end of sophomore year. 

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Course Selection

+ +

Class of 2024: By the end of senior year, all students in the department must complete no fewer than 10 departmental courses, of which two may be cognates. The two prerequisites as well as a course that satisfies the analytical requirement are included within the overall count of 10 departmentals. All departmentals must be taken on a graded basis — pass/D/fail is not allowed. Students must receive a passing grade in at least 10 of the courses that count as departmentals. Students must attain an overall average of C or higher in the 10 or more graded courses that count as departmentals(link is external). All departmentals factor into the honors calculation(link is external).

+ +

Class of 2025 and beyond: By the end of senior year, all students in the department must complete no fewer than 11 departmental courses, of which two may be cognates. The two prerequisites, the completion of POL 300 (see below), as well as a course that satisfies the analytical requirement are included within the overall count of 11 departmentals. Students must attain an overall average of C or higher in the 11 or more graded courses that count as departmentals(link is external). For a departmental to fulfill a requirement, it must be taken for a grade. All departmentals factor into the honors calculation(link is external).

+ +

Politics majors indicate a prospective primary field when they sign into the department in the spring of their sophomore year. Majors must take courses in at least three of the fields listed below — a minimum of three courses in their designated primary field, two courses in a secondary field and one course in a tertiary field. One of three courses in the primary field normally is a 200-level course. Prerequisites may be used to satisfy field distribution requirements. A course taken to satisfy the analytical requirement cannot be used to satisfy a field distribution requirement. 

+ +

The department's website lists additional courses(link is external) that will fulfill field requirements in a given year, including one-time-only courses. It also lists topics courses offered by other departments that have POL cross-listings and that therefore can be counted as departmental courses.

+ +
  1. Political Theory(link is external): The PT subfield focuses on the nature of justice, democracy, power and other key ideas, and encourages students to develop frameworks for thinking evaluatively about pressing issues of politics and public policy of the day. POL 210, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 313, 315, 316, 321, 403, 410, 411, 412, 413, 416.
    +  
    2. +
  2. American Politics(link is external): The AP subfield focuses on the U.S. political system and includes the study of the development of the American system of governance, American political institutions, the attitudes and behaviors of U.S. residents and the relationship between institutions and people. POL 220, 314, 315, 316, 318, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 327, 329, 330, 333, 343, 344, 349, 392, 420, 421, 422, 423.
    +  
    3. +
  3. Comparative Politics(link is external): The CP subfield focuses on the similarities and differences in patterns of politics around the world with attention to what happens within states regarding representation, economic development, violence and effective government. POL 230, 349, 351, 352, 355, 356, 360, 362, 364, 366, 367, 374, 375, 378, 386, 430, 431, 432, 433, 434, 479.
    +  
    4. +
  4. International Relations(link is external): The IR subfield focuses on the study of politics among nations and nonstate actors in world affairs, including subjects such as the causes of war, the role of international law and institutions, economic interdependence and cooperation to advance common goals for human rights and environmental protection. POL 240, 313, 380, 381, 385, 386, 388, 392, 393, 440, 441, 442, 443.
    +  
    5. +
  5. Methods in Political Science(link is external) (cannot be the primary field): These courses in formal and quantitative methods provide undergraduate students with analytical tools they can use to conduct rigorous social science research. POL 250, 345, 346, 347, 450.
    6. +

Analytical Requirement

+ +

The department maintains a list of politics courses that have an emphasis on methodological tools for research in political science. Majors are required to take a course to fulfill the analytical requirement(link is external), normally no later than the first term of their junior year. The courses used to fulfill the analytical requirement cannot be used to fulfill primary, secondary or tertiary field requirements. The analytical requirement may be satisfied by POL 250, POL 345, POL 346, or POL 347. We will also accept ANT 301, ANT 302, ECO 202, ECO 302, ECO 312, ORF 245, PHI 201, SOC 404, or SPI 200.

+ +

POL 300

+ +

Politics majors are required to complete POL 300(link is external) (Conducting Independent Research in Political Science) in the fall semester of junior year, beginning with the Class of 2025. POL 300 is designed to complement the fall junior independent work requirement and will count for course credit.

+ +

Upon course registration, students will need to select one of two tracks for the lecture component of POL 300. The technical track (L01) builds on preparation for political analysis offered by POL 345; it's open to juniors who completed POL 345 or equivalent courses (e.g., ECO 202, ORF 245) before junior year. The conceptual track (L02) has no prerequisites and doesn't presume fulfillment of the analytical requirement. Both tracks cover many of the same topics. L02 focuses less on underlying statistics than L01, and may be more appropriate for students interested in qualitative/historical/political theory work.

+ +

Cognates

+ +

Cognates(link is external) are courses offered in departments other than politics that have a substantial political content, which is defined as having at least 50% politics content. Unless approved for a special program (see below), students are permitted to count up to two cognates as departmental courses. The department maintains a list of all approved cognates for each student. A cognate must be approved by the last day of classes in the semester in which it is taken (except in spring semester of senior year, when the deadline is the second Friday of classes). With the exception of courses taken outside of politics that satisfy the analytical requirement, or upper-level courses taken in economics to fulfill the requirements of the track in political economy, courses taken in the first year or sophomore year cannot be approved as cognates. Cognate courses should not be at the introductory level. Cognates cannot be used to satisfy field distribution requirements. To seek approval for a cognate, students must complete the politics cognate approval application(link is external) and email it along with a current syllabus to the cognate approval adviser for their review. Once a cognate has been approved, it may not be rescinded. Approved cognates must be taken for a grade and will be used in the departmental honors calculation.

+ +

Students who wish to combine the study of politics with the study of another discipline or a specific geographic area may design a special program(link is external) that would allow them to count three cognates as departmentals. Politics and religion, politics and psychology, public policy and bioethics, and the politics of the Near East are examples of special plans of study. Individual areas of study must be approved by the department. Normally, a student must submit a written proposal to the cognate approval adviser by the end of the junior year. The proposal should demonstrate how the three cognates relate to one another and form a coherent interdisciplinary program.

+ +

Graduate Courses

+ +

Well-prepared undergraduates may take graduate seminars for full university and departmental credit. To enroll in a graduate seminar, the student must first obtain the signature approval of the instructor in charge, the DUS, and their residential college dean using this form(link is external).

+
+
+

Departmental Tracks

+

The Department of Politics offers four departmental tracks(link is external) that provide more focused guidance to students who wish to address themes that bridge the subfields. Only students who declare their major in politics are eligible to pursue these tracks. Students should inform the undergraduate program manager of their intention to pursue a track during the sophomore declaration period, and no later than February 1 of their junior year. Students who select a track will still need to fulfill the requirements of a politics major. The tracks provide additional guidance for structuring the program of study as a politics major, but students are not required to select a track to graduate with a degree in politics. Courses may simultaneously fulfill both the track requirements and the politics major requirements. All courses taken to satisfy a track must be a on a graded basis and will factor into the honors calculation. (Please note: The degree will read A.B. in politics and, unlike university certificates, the departmental track will not appear on the transcript. Majors who successfully complete the track’s requirements will receive a departmental attestation on Class Day.)

+ +

Track in American Ideas and Institutions(link is external)

+ +

The Department of Politics, in collaboration with the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, offers the track in American ideas and institutions (AIIP) for students who wish to further demonstrate their understandings of the three branches of the federal government and the values, ideas and theories that underlie them and are animated by their workings. It draws together a menu of courses from American politics, political theory, public law and other departmental offerings.

+ +
Requirements
+ +

A student in the track is required to complete five courses, one in each of the four topics listed below, as well as one more chosen from any one of the areas. No individual course number may be counted for more than one track requirement (even if, as in the case of POL 332 for example, the course may be taken by a student more than once as the topic changes annually).

+ +
  1. The Executive Branch: POL 325, POL 330, POL 331/HUM 305, POL 332 (when approved by the track adviser).
    2. +
  2. The Legislative Branch: POL 324, POL 329.
    3. +
  3. The Constitution and the Courts: POL 314, POL 315, POL 316, POL 318, POL 319/AMS 219/AAS 386, POL 320, POL 326, POL 339.
    4. +
  4. American Political, Legal, and Constitutional Thought: SPI 370/POL 308/CHV 301, POL 314, POL 315, POL 316, POL 319/AMS 219/AAS 386, POL 321, POL 331/HUM 305, POL 332 (when approved by the track adviser), POL 488/HUM 488/AMS 488, POL 493, POL 494.
    5. +
Senior Thesis
+ +

While a student in the track must write a thesis on a topic related to the student's primary field, the thesis must also incorporate significant content related to themes in one or more of the topic areas of the track. The student should meet with the AIIP adviser during the fall semester of senior year to confirm the suitability of their thesis topic. On or before the thesis draft deadline, the appropriate content of the thesis must be certified by the AIIP adviser.

Track in Political Economy(link is external)

+ +

The Department of Politics offers the track in political economy (PE) for students who wish to further their understanding of social phenomena and individual behavior by combining the perspectives of its two constituent disciplines. The track allows and encourages students to use analytical tools from game theory, microeconomics and statistics to study political behavior, and to incorporate a thorough analysis of politics and collective decision-making into economic analysis.

+ +
Prerequisites
+ +

To participate in this track, students must complete two politics courses and ECO 100 and ECO 101, and MAT 103 (or higher level) before the end of their sophomore year. All five of these courses should be taken on a graded basis (i.e., not pass/D/fail). (Under special circumstances, students can apply for exceptions or deferrals of these prerequisites. These requests will be considered by the PE adviser.)

+ +
Requirements
+ +

It is important for each student to select a combination of economics and politics courses that form a coherent and meaningful track. Before signing up for the first term of junior year, the student should work out a tentative course outline for the next two years; this outline must be approved by the PE adviser.

+ +

In addition to the PE prerequisites, a student in the PE track is required to complete the following courses, all of which will be counted as departmentals:

+ +
  1. Political Economy: either Political Economy (POL 349), Comparative Political Economy for Policy Making (SPI 329/POL 350),* or Comparative Political Economy (POL 352)*. (*NOTE: Students may take either SPI 329/POL 350 or POL 352 — not both.)
    2. +
  2. Game Theory in Politics: Game Theory in Politics (POL 347/ECO 347).
    3. +
  3. Quantitative Methods: POL 345/SOC 305/SPI 211, POL 346, ECO 202, ECO 302, or ECO 312.
    4. +
  4. Microeconomics: One of the following intermediate microeconomics courses: ECO 300, ECO 310, or SPI 300.
    5. +
  5. Macroeconomics/Topics: One of the following courses: Intermediate Macroeconomics (ECO 301, ECO 311), International Trade (SPI 301/ECO 352), International Development (SPI 302/ECO 359), Public Economics (SPI 307/ECO 349).
    6. +

Together with five additional courses in the politics department (possibly including POL courses counted as prerequisites), this 10-course combination fulfills the requirements both for the PE track and for the major, and is used in calculating departmental honors.

+ +

Students in the PE track must also fulfill the 3-2-1 field distribution requirement of the department, however, the quantitative methods course will satisfy the politics department's analytical requirement, while POL 347/ECO 347 can serve as a course in a third field.

+ +
Senior Thesis
+ +

While a student in the track must write a thesis on a topic related to the student's primary field, the thesis must also incorporate significant PE content. On or before the thesis draft deadline, the PE content of the thesis must be certified by the PE adviser. The student should meet with the PE adviser well in advance of this deadline to discuss the PE content of the thesis.

+ +

Track in Quantitative and Analytical Political Science(link is external)

+ +

The track in quantitative and analytical political science (QAPS) is designed for students who wish to deepen their understanding of quantitative and analytical methods to study key questions in political science.

+ +
Prerequisite
+ +
  • MAT 175 (or its equivalent EGR 192, MAT 201, MAT 203)
    • +
Requirements
+ +

In addition to the prerequisite, students must complete four courses among those listed below along with six other departmental courses. Of the following six courses, students must take four with at least one being in quantitative analysis as well as at least one from the game theory and applications category.

+ +

    • +
  • Game Theory and Applications: POL 250, 347, 349, SPI 329/POL 350*, 352*. (*NOTE: Students may take either SPI 329/POL 350 or POL 352 — not both.)
    • +
Senior Thesis 
+ +

While a student in the track must write a thesis on a topic related to the student's primary field, the thesis must also incorporate quantitative and/or analytics methods at a level similar or superior to the material covered in the track requirements. The student should meet with the QAPS adviser during the fall semester of senior year to confirm the suitability of their thesis research design. On or before the thesis draft deadline, the appropriate content of the thesis must be certified by the QAPS adviser.

+ +

Track in Race and Identity(link is external)

+ +

The Department of Politics offers the track in race and identity (RI) for politics majors seeking a deeper understanding of the politics of race and identity. Completion of the track attests to a student having successfully taken a range of courses examining the role of race and identity in politics. The track offers courses dealing with moral, ethical and legal issues relating to race and identity in the United States and around the world, such as hate speech, discrimination and civil rights. The track also encompasses courses in international relations and comparative politics focusing on human rights, ethnic conflict and social movements.

+ +

This track is suitable for students interested in all politics subfields, including political theory, American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political economy and methods. Currently, the widest array of courses in the track is available in the subfield of American politics. As with other department tracks, students enrolled in the RI track must still fulfill other requirements for politics majors, including the 3-2-1 distribution requirement (a primary field, a secondary field and a tertiary field). A single course can simultaneously satisfy a distribution requirement and count toward the track.

+ +
Requirements
+ +

The track in race and identity has the following course requirements:

+ +
  1. Core Course. All students in the track must take POL 344/AAS 344/AMS 244 (Race and Politics in the United States).
    2. +
  2. Other Courses. Students must complete three other courses dealing with themes of race and identity, in addition to the core course and the six other departmental courses required for the politics major. A menu of courses that can be taken toward completion of the RI track is provided below. (New departmental courses that meet the requirements for this track will be added to the track, as applicable.)

    • +

NOTE: The department will consider requests for other courses to apply toward the track on a case-by-case basis with a caveat that students may seek approval for only one nonpolitics course to count as satisfying a requirement for the track. To seek such approval, students must complete the cognate approval application and send a current syllabus to the cognate approval adviser along with the RI track adviser for review, no later than the last day of classes within the semester that the course is offered during junior and senior years. The only exception is during the spring semester of senior year, when the cognate application deadline is the second Friday of classes.

+ +
Senior Thesis
+ +

Students in the track must write a senior thesis that incorporates themes relating to race and identity. Students should meet with the RI track adviser during the fall semester of their senior year to confirm the suitability of their thesis topic for the track. On or before the thesis draft deadline, the suitability of the thesis must be certified by the RI track adviser.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year

+ +

The junior independent work(link is external) (JIW) requirement in politics provides majors with an opportunity to delve into their research interests and conduct a thorough examination. The goal is for students to produce a well-reasoned and analytical essay that scrutinizes a political issue using approaches from political science. Over the course of two semesters, students will undertake two research projects. In the fall, students will be required to submit a research prospectus, while in the spring, they will write a full-length junior paper (JP). The required POL 300 will instruct students in research design and the preparation of their research prospectus. The faculty instructors for the practicum component of POL 300 will serve as fall JIW advisers. The spring JP can either build on the prospectus or explore a new topic. Each semester serves a specific purpose; the fall focuses on teaching students how to plan a research project and refine a question, while the spring is focused on executing the project and exposition. Additional information on topics such as adviser assignment and final deadlines is available in the junior independent work and senior thesis sections of the department's website(link is external).

+ +

Students will receive one POL 981 grade (worth 2.0) at the end of the spring term that is a weighted average of fall (30%) and spring (70%) JIW grades.  Students must achieve a grade of C or better in POL 981. If a student receives a grade below C in POL 981, another JP is required with a grade that brings the average of this additional paper and the POL 981 grade to at least a grade of C. This is a prerequisite for beginning the senior year. For purposes of this requirement, the grades before the application of any late penalties are used.

+ +

Senior Year

+ +

During the senior year, each student writes a thesis, an essay of generally about 100 double-spaced pages and rarely fewer than 80 pages. The senior thesis(link is external) normally is written on a topic within a student's primary field. The senior thesis is expected to make an original (or otherwise distinctive) contribution to broader knowledge in the field in which the student is working, and it is important that the thesis be situated explicitly in relation to existing published literature. The department encourages students to use the summer between junior and senior year for work on the senior thesis. 

+ +

The senior thesis may expand upon ideas that were explored in a student's JP. A student may draw on and cite their own JP just as they would use other resources. In addition, a student may re-use a limited portion of their JP in the senior thesis; for instance, the literature review could be re-used across the two. Whenever material from the JP is re-used, a student must add a footnote noting the duplication across the JP or senior thesis. Note: This policy does not affect the standard University guidelines for attributing ideas and research findings, whenever appropriate. The same policy holds with respect to incorporating the fall junior research prospectus into either the spring JP or senior thesis.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

Seniors are required to prepare and present a professional poster(link is external) describing their senior thesis research as the senior comprehensive exam.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Under normal circumstances, the department encourages students to consider studying abroad(link is external) during the spring semester of junior year. If a program is approved in advance by the Office of International Programs (OIP), the department will credit as departmentals as many as two courses in political science (or related fields) when they are taken at an overseas university. Normally, the department is willing to substitute no more than one cognate and one departmental or two cognates for majors studying abroad for one semester. In the spring term, students who study abroad will write a JP under the supervision of a politics faculty member who will advise them remotely.

+ +

NOTE: Students may not study abroad during the fall semester of junior year as they need to be on campus to take POL 300, as part of completing the Fall JIW requirement — beginning with the Class of 2025.

+ +

Students may study abroad in the fall semester of senior year provided that they have the preapproval of both OIP and the study abroad adviser. The department will allow up to four study abroad politics courses to count only in the event a student wants to study abroad in the spring of junior year and then again in the fall of senior year — two for each semester abroad. 

+ +

Prospective majors who wish to study abroad during sophomore year who intend to declare politics as a major should receive preapproval for departmental course credit from the study abroad adviser. The department will accept up to two politics-related study abroad courses from sophomore year which can be applied toward the major, one of which can count as a politics prerequisite. (This rule suggests that one of the prerequisites must be a politics course that was taken at Princeton no later than the end of sophomore year.)

+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs offers a multidisciplinary liberal arts major for students who are interested in public service and becoming leaders in the world of public and international affairs. Students will acquire the tools, understanding and habits of mind necessary to pursue policy problems of their choosing. The major is largely self-designed, but provides the structure and guidance needed for an education that is both broad and deep.

+ +

Please note: These requirements apply only to SPIA majors in the Classes of 2026 and beyond. Students in the Classes of 2024 and 2025 should consult the appropriate archived Undergraduate Announcement for detailed information about departmental requirements.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Curricular Learning Goals

+ +
  • Prerequisites are meant to provide basic social science literacy and a foundation for studying and analyzing public policy, and domestic and international affairs. Prior to major declaration, students must complete four prerequisites.
    • +
  • +

    Core courses introduce the practical art of policymaking, and further emphasize analytical tools and theory that students will need to understand, evaluate, engage with, craft and/or implement public policy and international affairs. The core prepares students for junior and senior independent work through thematic or disciplinary depth.

    +
    • +
  • +

    Electives are designed to encourage disciplinary breadth required in public and international affairs; intellectual depth, by discipline or policy area; and a regional focus that recognizes relationships, institutions and effects that cut across national borders.

    +
    • +

Independent Work Learning Goals

+ +
  1. Junior Independent Work in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs is designed to teach students: + +
    • To think analytically about a public policy problem.
      • +
    • To critically review evidence about a public policy problem and its potential solutions.
      • +
    • To present evidence in a clear, logical and well-organized manner.
      • +
    • To evaluate solutions that have been tried or proposed, and potentially develop new solutions to deal with a public policy problem.
      • +
    • To clearly and concisely summarize the evidence and the alternatives, and to make recommendations to stakeholders on how best to address a public policy problem.
      +  
      • +
    2. +
  2. Senior Independent Work in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs allows seniors to draw on their core and elective work to produce clearly written, well organized, methodologically sound and substantively defensible senior theses on a current and significant public policy issue. We expect that every thesis will: +
    • Identify a knowledge gap or public policy research question.
      • +
    • Generate a logical and testable hypothesis.
      • +
    • Identify or collect evidence that will allow you to test your hypothesis.
      • +
    • Apply appropriate research method(s) to analyze your data.
      • +
    • Draw evidence-based conclusions from your analysis that apply to the relevant public policy debate.
      • +

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Students must complete four prerequisites from a list of preapproved courses prior to the fall term of their junior year. Students should consult the Undergraduate Program website for the most up-to-date list of approved courses.

+ +

All courses taken to meet these prerequisites must be taken on a graded basis. First-year seminars may not be used to fulfill prerequisites. Students must earn a grade of C or higher in all courses counting toward prerequisites. The following courses may be used to satisfy the prerequisites:

+ +

One Course in Statistics

+ +
  • SPI 200 Statistics for Social Science
    • +
  • ECO 202 Statistics and Data Analysis for Economics
    • +
  • ORF 245 Fundamentals of Statistics
    • +
  • POL 345 Introduction to Quantitative Social Science
    • +

Note that students may not fulfill this prerequisite with AP credit.

+ +

One Course in Microeconomics

+ +
  • ECO 100 Introduction to Microeconomics (or AP score of 5 in Microeconomics, IB Higher Level score of 7 in Economics or GCE A-level grade of A in Economics)
    • +

One Course in Sociology or Psychology

+ +

Students must choose from an approved list of courses. Please consult the Undergraduate Program website(link is external) for the most current list of courses that meet this prerequisite.

+ +

One Course in Politics or History

+ +

Students must choose from an approved list of courses. Please consult the Undergraduate Program website(link is external) for the most current list of courses that meet this prerequisite.

+ +

All courses taken to meet prerequisites must be completed before September of junior year with a grade of C or higher. A summer course or a course taken abroad may count to satisfy a department prerequisite if the course has been approved by the relevant department and by either OIP or the student's residential college dean or assistant dean for transfer credit. All requests to use a transfer course to satisfy a department prerequisite must be approved in advance by the SPIA director of undergraduate studies.

+ +

A course taken at Princeton and used as a prerequisite may also be used to meet either a departmental core requirement (if it is on the list of core requirements) or as a departmental elective (if it is on the electives list).

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

The curriculum consists of a wide range of courses offered through the school and through our partner departments that are relevant to the study of policymaking, policy analysis and policy evaluation. Students take courses in economics, sociology or psychology, and politics or history. An introductory public policy course is required, along with an ethics course and a course on power and identity. Students enroll in policy seminars in their junior year and write a policy thesis in senior year. To aid in students' independent work, a research design workshop is also required.

+ +

Majors are required to take statistics and must be able to use the basics of single-variable calculus in order to take economics courses and some advanced elective options. Students who are concerned about their preparation should consider taking a course that provides instruction in single-variable calculus. In addition, the undergraduate program requires that students engage in some extracurricular cross-cultural experience (which may include study abroad), or policy-relevant field experience (overseas or domestic).

+ +

By the end of the fall semester of junior year, students will have to select their area of intellectual depth: disciplinary depth or thematic depth (designated by SPIA). Please consult the Undergraduate Program website(link is external) for more information.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

To satisfy the junior independent work requirement (JP), each student must complete a research paper in connection with a non-credit-bearing fall Research Design Workshop (SPI 299) and a credit-bearing spring Research Seminar (SPI 300).

+ +

To aid in the writing and preparation of the junior paper, the non-credit-bearing fall Research Design Workshop will introduce students to research design by discussing the following questions:

+ +
  • How does one define an important and researchable question?
    • +
  • How does one deploy systematic concepts and evaluate competing hypotheses/arguments?
    • +
  • How does one evaluate the plausibility, ethics and relative success of alternative policy solutions?
    • +

The course will focus on research design rather than specific methods. 

+ +

In the spring research seminar course, a faculty member supervises a small group of students engaged in research on a specific topic in public and international affairs. Faculty will introduce students to the existing state of knowledge and available evidence for research within a well-defined topic that is timely and important in the area of public policy. Supported by the separate coursework required in the research seminar, students will complete their junior paper.

+ +

To satisfy the senior independent work, each student must complete a senior thesis that clearly articulates a research question about a significant public policy issue and draws conclusions that contribute to the debate on that issue.

+
+
+

Additional Requirements

+

Core Course Requirements (seven courses)

+ +

Students should review the list of core requirements(link is external) for their specific class year.

+ +

Prior to graduation, students must complete the core course requirements listed below. Students are encouraged to take SPI 298 in sophomore year and must complete the course no later than the fall of junior year. All courses used to meet these requirements must be taken at Princeton on a graded (A–F) basis. Students must earn a grade of C or higher in all courses counting toward core course requirements.

+ +
  • SPI 298: Intro to Public Policy (fall only)
    • +
  • SPI 299: Research Design Workshop (fall only; non-credit-bearing)
    • +
  • SPI 300: Research Seminar (spring only)
    • +
  • SPI 301: Policy Task Force (fall or spring)
    • +
  • One course on Power and Identity: +
    • +
  • One ethics course: +
    • SPI 370 Ethics and Public Policy
      • +
    • POL 307 The Just Society

    • ECO 310 Microeconomic Theory: A Mathematical Approach
      • +
    • ECO 311 Macroeconomics: A Mathematical Approach
      • +
    • +

Elective Courses (six courses)

+ +

Students must complete six (6) elective courses according to the following guidelines. Students must earn a grade of C or higher in all courses counting toward elective requirements.

+ +
  1. Disciplinary Breadth (three courses): Take one course from three SPIA-related departments (EEB, HIS, POL, PSY, SOC) not already covered by the intellectual depth requirement noted below. ECO is excluded because it is already a required prerequisite and core course. Prerequisites and core courses may double-count; ECO courses may not.
    By graduation, we strongly encourage students to have taken courses in departments where they have not yet taken a course (for example in a natural science, if they are focusing on the social sciences).
    +  
    2. +
  2. Intellectual Depth (three courses): Disciplinary OR Thematic Depth +
    • Disciplinary Depth: Take three courses in one SPIA-affiliated department, e.g., ECO, EEB, HIS, POL, PSY, SOC, SPI
      OR
      • +
    • Thematic Depth: Take three courses that address a given theme. Courses are drawn from SPIA-affiliated departments or SPIA-approved courses.
      • +
    3. +

Among the six (6) electives, a student may take only three electives from one department. For the major as a whole, a student may not take more than five courses from one department.

+ +

Regional Focus: Students should also pursue regional focus across their SPIA coursework. Thus, across the SPIA prerequisites, core and electives, students must take at least two courses that focus substantively on a particular continent. The senior thesis can count toward the regional focus requirement.

+ +

Up to three elective courses may be taken in semester-long study abroad programs.

+ +

Cross-Cultural or Field Experience Requirement

+ +

Prior to the second semester of senior year, each student must have completed an approved cross-cultural or field experience. The requirement may be satisfied in a number of ways, including but not limited to semester study abroad, summer study abroad, policy-relevant summer jobs in a domestic or international organization, ROTC training, senior thesis research in the field, extended service in an underserved community, or an internship involving public policy work in a nonprofit, government or international agency such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the US Congress, or a state or federal agency.

+ +

Summer study or thesis research must be done for at least four weeks to qualify. Students must engage in an internship, job or community service project for at least six consecutive weeks at a minimum of 40 hours per week or a total of 240 cumulative hours to qualify. Eligible community service work must involve policy work that will enhance one's learning and understanding of public service.

+ +

Cross-cultural or field experience gained during the first or sophomore year or as a participant in the Bridge Year Program may count toward this requirement. To meet this requirement, all past or proposed work must be approved by the undergraduate program.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The school's senior comprehensive examination is an oral defense of the senior thesis that assesses the student's expertise related to their thesis.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Any major may study abroad in one of the department's overseas programs in the first or second semester of junior year. Recent international programs include Pembroke College at Cambridge University and the University of Cape Town in South Africa. At each site, students enroll in coursework at the host university and take a Policy Task Force directed by a faculty member at the host institution. 

+
+
+

Additional Information

+

The program provides funding during summer, fall and winter breaks for travel and living expenses related to senior thesis research in public policy. The school also provides funding to students in the department who participate in public policy internships over the summer. For additional information, consult the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs Undergraduate Program website(link is external).

+ + + + +

+ SPI 301 - International Trade + (also ECO 352) + + Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ Examination of the causes and economic consequences of international trade in goods and services, investment and migration. Stress on the possibility of aggregate national gains from trade, and the distributional conflicts generated by trade. Analysis of policies regarding these issues from the perspective of economics and political economy. Two lectures, one preceptorial. Prerequisites: WWS 100 or ECO 300 or ECO 310. + + L. Bilir + +
+ + + +

+ SPI 301 - Policy Seminars + + Spring + +

+ +
+ Open only to students enrolled in the school. See 'Program Information' for description. Juniors who are concentrators in the school must register for the policy task force as "Junior Independent Work.'' Seniors should register for SPI 401 or 402 as a course rather than junior independent work. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ SPI 304 - Microeconomics for Public Policy + + Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ Microeconomics is the study of how people and societies confront scarcity. This course, taught at the intermediate level, focuses on markets as a mechanism for dealing with scarcity, and uses examples that cast light on public policy issues. Two lectures, one preceptorial. Prerequisite: ECO 100. + + S. Moroni + +
+ + + +

+ SPI 306 - Environmental Economics + (also ECO 329/ENV 319) + + Fall + SA + +

+ +
+ An introduction to the use of economics in thinking about and dealing with environmental issues. Stress on economic externalities and the problem of dealing with them as instances of organizing gains from trade. Applications to a wide variety of problems, among them air pollution (including, importantly, global climate change), water pollution, solid waste and hazardous substances management, species preservation, and population policy. + + S. Brunnermeier + +
+ + + +

+ SPI 310 - American Politics + (also POL 220) + + Fall + SA + +

+ + + + +

+ SPI 311 - The Politics of Development + (also LAS 371/POL 351) + + Spring + SA + +

+ SPI 315 - Grand Strategy + (also POL 393) + + Not offered this year + SA + +

+ +
+ Military strategy was defined by Clauswitz as the use of battle to achieve the objectives of war. Grand strategy is broader, encompassing the attempted use by political leaders of financial economic, and diplomatic, as well as military, power to achieve their objectives in peacetime and in war. This seminar will examine the theory and practice of grand strategy both to illuminate how relations among city-states, empires, kingdoms and nation states have evolved over the centuries and also to identify some common challenges that have confronted all who seek to make and execute grand strategy, from Pericles to Barack Obama. + + A. Friedberg, G. Ikenberry + +
+ + + +

+ SPI 319 - Human Rights + (also POL 380) + + Spring + SA + +

+ + + + +

+ + + + +

+ SPI 325 - Introduction to Comparative Politics + (also POL 230) + + Fall + SA + +

+ + + + +

+ SPI 330 - Population, Society and Public Policy + (also SOC 328) + + Not offered this year + SA + +

+ +
+ This course focuses on the causes and consequences of population change and the policy levers used to regulate demographic behavior and outcomes. In addition to basic demographic concepts, measures and data, we will address questions such as: What is the carrying capacity of the planet? Why has fertility declined in some countries but not others? How does population growth influence the environment? What does population aging portend for social security solvency? Can countries regulate international migration? Why does China have so many male births? Is marriage obsolete? Is urban life good or bad for your health? + + A. Hendi + +

+ SPI 331 - Race and Public Policy + (also AAS 317/POL 343/SOC 312) + + Not offered this year + SA + +

+ +
+ Analyzes the historical construction of race as a concept in American society, how and why this concept was institutionalized publicly and privately in various arenas of U.S. public life at different historical junctures, and the progress that has been made in dismantling racialized institutions since the civil rights era. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ SPI 334 - Media and Public Policy + (also SOC 319) + + Not offered this year + SA + +

+ +
+ Introduction to communications policy and law, covering such topics as freedom of the press and the development of journalism; intellectual property; regulation of telecommunications, broadcasting, and cable; and policy challenges raised by the Internet and the globalization of the media. + + P. Starr + +

Psychology +

+
+ + + + +
+ + + +
+ + +
+

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The psychology major, within the Division of Natural Sciences, provides foundational and advanced undergraduate courses on a range of topics relating to the scientific study of mind and behavior. These include but are not limited to sensation, perception, movement, language, reasoning, decision-making, social interaction and computational models of the brain. Because psychological science involves working with large and complex data sets, students gain skills and knowledge in statistical methods. Additionally, since mental processes and behavior arise from the brain, students also acquire knowledge in neuroscience.

+ +

Psychology majors have the opportunity to be involved in cutting-edge research via their independent work (more information below). Our faculty members possess a diverse array of research interests, including perception and language development in infants and children, implicit biases and stereotypes in social cognition, and neural bases of the self, consciousness and numerous social and cognitive processes. Their research interests include many other topics, such as those relating to learning, emotion, collaborative dynamics and adversity.

+ +

Via their coursework and research experience, psychology majors are equipped with a rigorous understanding of human behavior and mental processes, which prepares them for a range of possible careers and educational pathways(link is external). Some students pursue graduate studies in psychological science, cognitive science or neuroscience, while others pursue careers in data science, policymaking, teaching or business. The psychology major is also compatible with fulfilling requirements for medical school and law school.

+ +

 

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Through their coursework, psychology majors will acquire knowledge in a variety of topics relating to how people feel, think and act. Importantly, they will also learn how to develop and test hypotheses about these processes and, because psychological science involves working with large and complex data sets, learn data management and statistical methods. This knowledge and skill base prepares majors to approach real-world issues from multiple levels of analysis, from understanding the neural mechanisms that give rise to behavior to developing and evaluating social policies and programs based on psychological theories.

+ +

Most importantly, psychology majors have the opportunity to be involved in cutting-edge research via their independent work, investigating a diverse range of research topics. Some recent examples of students’ independent work include examinations of how:

+ +
  • Depression diagnoses impact teachers’ actions and perceptions.
    • +
  • Emotion and own-race bias impact eyewitness testimony.
    • +
  • COVID-19 impacted children’s social networks and learning.
    • +
  • Caregiver stress impacts infants’ functional connectivity.
    • +

 

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

The prerequisites for entering the Department of Psychology are the successful graded completion (without pass/D/fail) of PSY 251 (Quantitative Methods) or a preapproved statistics course in another department (for example, ORF 245 or ECO 202, SPI 200, SML 201, or POL 345), along with two other courses from the following list:

+ +
  • PSY 101 (Introduction to Psychology)
    • +
  • PSY 252 (Social Psychology)
    • +
  • PSY 254 (Developmental Psychology)
    • +
  • PSY 255 (Cognitive Psychology) 
    • +
  • PSY 258 (Fundamentals of Neuroscience) or NEU 200 (Functional Neuroanatomy)
    • +

All requests for an alternative set of prerequisites must be approved by the director of undergraduate studies.

+ +

 

+
+
+

Admission to the Program

+

To declare your major(link is external) in psychology, you must complete the prerequisites noted above and plan to attend our Sophomore Open House during the spring semester of your sophomore year. Around this time, you will also meet with the undergraduate program manager.

+ +

 

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

In addition to the three prerequisite courses (see above), the psychology major requires the successful graded completion of at least eight courses within the department.

+ +
  • One of the eight departmental courses must be PSY 300 (Research Methods in Psychology).
    • +
  • Additionally, if they were not already taken as prerequisites, the following must be included in the eight courses: +
    • PSY 252 (Social Psychology)
      • +
    • PSY 255 (Cognitive Psychology) 
      • +
    • PSY 258 (Fundamentals of Neuroscience) or NEU 200 (Functional Neuroanatomy) 
      • +
    • +

Students must complete PSY 300 (Research Methods) by the end of their junior year, and it is recommended that students complete the other three courses (PSY 252, PSY 255, and PSY 258/NEU200) by this time as well.

+ +

Of the remaining eight departmental courses, at least four must be at the 300- or 400-level and all remaining must be 200-level or higher. Students can take up to two preapproved cognate courses from other departments, which count as departmental courses.

+ +

For a list of courses offered this semester, please see the Department of Psychology’s course page(link is external).

+ +

 

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Empirical research is at the core of our work as psychological scientists. The primary goal of your independent work is to make sure you learn how to understand, conduct and communicate empirical research. During your junior(link is external) and senior(link is external) years you will learn:

+ +
  1. To critically analyze the primary scientific literature.
    2. +
  2. To frame a scientific question in a creative, original way.
    3. +
  3. To select the appropriate methods necessary to test a research question.
    4. +
  4. To develop a clear presentation of your work including defining the topic, stating the plan of the paper, appropriately organizing the material, and discussing your findings in the context of the existing literature.
    5. +

Overview of the Junior Paper

+ +

The goals of the JP are to:

+ +
  1. Acquaint students with focused study in the field of psychology.
    2. +
  2. Develop proficiency in reading and analyzing the professional literature.
    3. +
  3. Develop an independent project as preparation for a thesis.  
    4. +
  4. Work in close consultation with a faculty member. 
    5. +

To satisfy the junior independent work requirement, students write two junior papers (JP), one in the fall semester and one in the spring. For each JP, the student must also give a presentation midway through the semester showing their progress. The fall semester grade and the spring semester grade will culminate in one, year-long junior independent work grade that is reflected on the spring transcript.

+ +
Fall Semester Junior Paper
+ +

With help from the department, and by talking to faculty and researching faculty webpages, students find an adviser from the Department of Psychology. The primary goal of the fall JP in psychology is for students to practice how to formulate a question and to query the literature. The paper should involve critical analysis and original synthesis, with a topic chosen collaboratively by student and adviser. The fall JP is typically 10–20 pages and is graded by the student’s adviser.

+ +

Beyond the main goals of the fall JP, the format is flexible and depends on discussion between student and adviser. 

+ +
  • In one common format, the student finds a topic of personal interest that overlaps the adviser’s expertise. The student then researches the topic, finds relevant scientific papers, formulates an open question of interest given their research, and writes a review synthesizing those papers in service of exploring their question.
    • +
  • In a second common approach, some faculty organize a “JP lab,” with many students working together in a discussion group that meets regularly. At the end of the process, students submit a paper formulating a question and synthesizing the literature. 
    • +
  • In another common format, the student joins a research group, working with the adviser and graduate students on experiments. In this case, the fall JP contains an introduction that reviews the literature, a methods section describing the experimental procedures, a results section describing any results obtained by the end of the semester, and a discussion describing possible outcomes and interpretations.
    • +
Spring Semester Junior Paper
+ +

Students may remain with the same adviser from the fall semester or find a different adviser whose interests overlap their own. The primary purpose of the spring paper is to prepare students for writing a thesis by having them formulate an original idea and embody it in a paper. The spring JP is typically 20–40 pages and is graded by the student’s adviser.

+ +

Like the fall JP, the format is flexible and depends on discussions between student and adviser. 

+ +
  • In one common format, students write a theoretical piece that proposes a thesis idea and uses creative exploration of the literature to explore the idea. 
    • +
  • In another common format, students write a research proposal. The proposal can in some cases lay the groundwork for the senior thesis, but this is not required. The proposal typically includes a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, a statement of a specific scientific question, a description of the proposed methods, and a discussion of the possible outcomes and interpretations. 
    • +
  • In a third common format, students write up experimental work completed during the junior year, complete with separate sections for introduction, methods, results and discussion.
    • +
Midpoint Presentations
+ +

Students will give a 10-minute presentation midway through the fall and spring semesters to show their progress on their respective JP. Student presentations will occur in a group setting that includes 4–6 other juniors and a faculty member who grades the presentations.

+ +

Students should present a summary of their topic, describe why it is an interesting topic to write about, and explain how it relates to psychology. Additionally, students should summarize their progress on reading and synthesizing the literature as well as any preliminary data if applicable. Students are expected to discuss their presentation with their JP adviser well in advance of the midpoint presentation.

+ +

More information on the psychology department’s independent work requirements can be found on the department's website(link is external).

+ +

Overview of the Senior Thesis

+ +

Each psychology senior works in close consultation with a faculty adviser to develop, carry out and write a senior thesis. The resulting thesis serves as the basis for the first part of the senior departmental xxam (see below).

+ +

Students can conduct one of three types of investigations for their thesis:

+ +
  1. An experimental thesis, which includes a comprehensive literature review, findings from at least one original research study (an experiment or a field study) with appropriate statistical analyses, and a general discussion of the findings. 
    2. +
  2. A computational thesis, which includes a review of the literature and description and discussion of the computational models that the student has completed. 
    3. +
  3. A theoretical thesis, which includes a comprehensive review of the research literature on a psychology topic of importance, including an extensive evaluation of the findings and original interpretations, theoretical proposals, or a proposed program of research to add further scientific knowledge.
    4. +

Although the length varies depending on type of thesis (experimental write-ups are often shorter), the final thesis is typically between 40 and 80 pages. The senior thesis grade is determined jointly by two readers: the student's adviser and the second reader assigned by the department. These two grades are averaged together to obtain a single grade for the written component of the senior thesis.

+ +
Senior Thesis Advising
+ +

Students are required to select a primary adviser from within the Department of Psychology and are encouraged to be proactive in finding a faculty adviser. Some students continue to work with the same adviser as in the spring semester of junior year, but this is not required. Students are encouraged to meet with their adviser and discuss their expectations about your research collaboration, as different faculty have different advising styles.

+ +

Please note that an adviser from another department may be considered only after the student has found a primary adviser within the psychology department and obtained permission from that primary adviser, the director of undergraduate studies in psychology, and the potential outside adviser. Then the student must submit written notification to the undergraduate program manager indicating the name and department of the outside adviser.

+ +

More information on the psychology department’s senior thesis requirements can be found on the department's website(link is external).

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

The Senior Departmental Exam is a 60-minute oral examination conducted by two members of the faculty, typically the student’s adviser and a second reader. The exam is a defense of the senior thesis and a discussion of its implications. During the first 10–15 minutes, students present a summary of their thesis, and then answer the faculty members’ questions about their thesis for the remainder of the examination time. The two faculty members present will determine an examination grade based on the quality of the presentation and the student's ability to answer questions.

+ +

More information on the psychology department’s senior examination requirements can be found on the department's website(link is external).

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

The Department of Psychology strongly encourages students to study abroad. Students can study abroad in either semester of junior year or during the fall of senior year.

+ +

Students considering study abroad are urged to discuss their plans with the director of undergraduate studies in psychology early in the planning stages to lay out coursework, obtain approvals, and set up independent work assignments. Two preapproved courses per semester abroad can count toward the departmental course requirements.

+ +

Those juniors who study abroad in their fall semester will be exempt from the junior orientation and APA style workshops, but will be required to write one fall junior paper under the supervision of a departmental faculty member. Juniors who study abroad in the spring semester will write the required spring junior paper under the supervision of a departmental faculty member, though it is also possible for the junior to collaborate with a faculty member abroad to perform research toward completing independent work. Students who study abroad either semester in their junior year are exempt from the midpoint presentation requirement.

+ +

Additional Information

+

Certificate Programs

+ +

The most common program among majors in psychology is the minor program in Neuroscience(link is external).* Although the University offers a neuroscience major, many students elect to major in psychology instead and to minor in neuroscience. These students are typically interested in the cognitive or social aspects of neuroscience. Interested students should discuss the minor program with the program directors and the director of undergraduate studies. Certain advanced courses taken in the program can count as cognates in the Department of Psychology.

+ +

* Please note that the Certificate Program in Neuroscience will end with students in the Class of 2024. The program transitions to a minor program for students in the Class of 2025 and beyond. The requirements for the minor will remain the same as those for the certificate.

+ +

Psychology majors also often choose to earn the following minors or certificate programs:

+ +

For information on all certificate/minor programs, see Undergraduate Certificate Areas of Study(link is external).

+ +

Facilities

+ +

The laboratories of individual faculty members are open to undergraduates for their independent work. Information about the Department of Psychology can be found online, including a current description of the research being conducted in the laboratories. Broader resources available include: the Lewis Library's collection of psychology books and journals, computer labs and high-performance computing clusters, Princeton Neuroscience Institute shared equipment such as fMRI, EEG, TMS, eye trackers, and microscopes, and the Princeton Survey Research Center.

+ + + +

+ PSY 210 - Foundations of Psychological Thought + (also HUM 210) + + Spring + ECHA + +

+ +
+ An exploration of original texts in the history of ideas about the workings of the human mind starting in Antiquity and leading to the development of the empirical discipline of psychology in the 19th century and some of its modern trends. Subsequent developments, including the child study movement, are explored though 20th century writings, culminating with Sartre's philosophical psychology and sources in Eastern thought to put the Western trajectory in perspective. Two lectures, one preceptorial. + + S. Sugarman + +
+ + + +

+ PSY 212 - The Psychology of Moral Behavior + (also CHV 212) + + Not offered this year + EM + +

+ +
+ A survey of the psychological, situational, and cultural determinants of moral thought and action. Topics will include the development of moral reasoning abilities, moral education, the relation between morality and rationality, altruism, and moral transgressions. Precepts will examine methods used in the psychological study of moral behavior. Two lectures, one preceptorial. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ PSY 214 - Human Identity in the Age of Neuroscience and Information Technology + + Not offered this year + EC + +

+ +
+ A central challenge for modern society is to construct individual and group identity in the face of technologies that come ever closer to understanding the mechanisms of thought and feeling. We live in a time when cognitive neuroscience is poised to trace the executive functions of the mind to the workings of the brain, and computer science is coming closer to replicating those functions. This course offers a multidisciplinary introduction to the scientific and social issues that underlie the potential cultural impact of advances in self-understanding. Faculty from a wide range of departments provide lectures. Two lectures, one preceptorial. + + Staff + +
+ + + +

+ PSY 216 - Language, Mind, and Brain + (also LIN 216) + + Not offered this year + EC + +

+ + + + +

+ PSY 237 - The Psychology and Philosophy of Rationality + (also PHI 237) + + Not offered this year + EC + +

+ +
+ The human capacity for rationality is fundamental; however there is ample evidence for irrationality in human affairs--including notions such as hysteria, addiction, lack of self-control, wishful thinking, and self-deception. This course considers both errors and achievements, providing an introduction to a wide array of topics, such as logic, probability, decision theory, relativism, and psychopathology. It provides a background for further study of subjects such as logic, philosophy of mind, cognitive psychology, cognitive science, the psychology of judgment and choice, and the psychology of thinking. One two-hour lecture, one preceptorial. + + E. Shafir, P. Johnson-Laird, G. Harman + +
+ + + +

+ PSY 251 - Quantitative Methods + + Spring + QCR + +

+ +

Junge + +
+ + + +

+ PSY 252 - Social Psychology + + Spring + SA + +

+ +
+ This course examines the scientific study of the way ordinary people think about, feel, and behave in social situations and how they influence, and are influenced by, others around them. We will first examine how people think and feel about others and about themselves; then we explore how they induce others to conform, to comply, to obey, and occasionally to see the world differently. Later, we examine how groups influence individuals and how individuals influence groups, how members of different groups relate to one another, and the seeds of attraction, altruism, and aggression. Two lectures, one preceptorial. + + J. Shelton + +
+ + + +

+ PSY 254 - Developmental Psychology + (also CGS 254) + + Fall + EC + +

Goals for Student Learning

+

The Department of Religion at Princeton aims for our students to gain content knowledge with respect to religious traditions, practice, history, ethics and philosophy, across time periods and cultural settings. In addition, we intend for our students to develop an understanding of the history of the academic study of religion and its crucial methodologies and purview. Beyond the inherent value of these mutually constitutive sets of goals, we want the development of this content knowledge and facility with religious studies as a field to cultivate methodological tools that students will take with them into other parts of their academic lives and their eventual careers: an abiding intellectual curiosity; self-motivation and initiative in research; a habit of close reading and critical empathy in the assessment of both secondary and primary sources; facility with questions of race, gender and class; and the ability to make clear, cogent and successful arguments both in writing and in discussion.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Any course offered by the department.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Majors are required to complete at least nine departmental courses by the end of their senior year. Courses taken prior to declaring a religion major count toward this total. 

+ +

Normally, each term juniors and seniors will take two courses offered by the department.

+ +

During the fall of their junior year, majors will enroll in REL 399, the Junior Colloquium. REL 399 is a for-credit course that counts toward a student’s nine religion courses for the major and their total number of courses for graduation.

+ +

Undergraduate courses in the Department of Religion are classified in two ways: Traditions, and Themes. Majors must take at least three courses in either a particular tradition in a traditions stream or a particular theme in a thematic stream. 

+ +

Students will choose one of the two streams during their junior year in conversation with the director of undergraduate studies (DUS).

+ +


+TRADITIONS: This stream encompasses different religious traditions, approaches, geographical areas and time periods. They are:

+ +
  1. Ancient Judaism, Christianity, and Greek and Roman Religions: 230, 251, 252, 350, 352, 353, and occasional courses
    2. +
  2. Religion in America: 258, 319, 357, 358, 360, 367, and occasional courses
    3. +
  3. Philosophical and Ethical Approaches to Religion: 242, 261, 311, 312, 317, 346, 347, 363, 364, and occasional courses
    4. +
  4. Islam:  235, 236, 240, 328, 334, 335, 336, 338, and occasional courses
    5. +
  5. Religions of Asia: 225, 226, 228, 229, 322, 326, and occasional courses
    6. +

Students master the relevant historical, philosophical and cultural contents and contexts of their chosen tradition(s). How are normative claims made and contested in religious traditions? What are the theological, ritual and philosophical concepts and categories central to these traditions? How does a religious or philosophical tradition change over time and in new locales? How do individuals negotiate their belief commitments in religiously diverse contexts? Does religion represent a distinct sphere of life separable from other domains of culture and social activities? What are the assumptions, strengths and weaknesses of the historical study of religion? These are some of the questions that inform this stream.

+ +

The stream assigned to each course taught by department faculty is identified in its listing on the department's website(link is external).

+ +

THEMES: Students have the option of majoring their coursework in a thematic area that crosses traditions, time periods and geographies. Each student will establish their thematic designation in conversation with the DUS during junior year. 

+ +

Details of suggested themes appear on the department's website(link is external). In consultation with the DUS, students may designate a theme not included in the suggested list around which to concentrate their coursework. The DUS will suggest courses and grant final approval to students’ thematic plans.

+ +

Students will take five additional departmental courses. At least one of these courses must be designated “Critical Approaches to the Study of Religion.” At least one such course will be offered every academic year. Please note: Critical Approaches courses do not double-count for tradition and thematic distributions.

+ +

Critical Approaches designations appear in the list of undergraduate courses(link is external) posted on the department's website in advance of each term.

+ +

Up to two elective courses may be approved cognate courses taught by faculty outside of the Department of Religion that supplement coursework in the department. The director of undergraduate studies must approve cognate courses. Please note that other than these two electives, all courses toward the major must be taught by department faculty.

+ +

Not all courses satisfy stream requirements. A course may be counted toward one stream requirement only. In any year it is offered, REL 373 Studies in Religion will be assigned to the appropriate stream.

+ +

Religion majors are required to take religion courses for a letter grade. However, once senior religion majors have satisfied all departmental and area requirements, they are allowed to pass/D/fail departmental courses with permission from the director of undergraduate studies. Majors must obtain the written approval of the director of undergraduate studies prior to choosing this grading option.

+ +

The expectation is that majors in religion develop a course of study in which they gain mastery over a set of coherent questions, either within or across areas, traditions and themes. Students are encouraged to pursue their thesis work within the area of their major.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Year

+ +

In conjunction with REL 399, the Junior Colloquium, during the fall term juniors will produce a five- to seven-page JP proposal. During the spring term, juniors will continue this independent research and write a 30–40 page junior paper under the supervision of a faculty adviser. The DUS will assign advisers. At the end of junior year, students will review their work in the department and discuss with a faculty committee their plans for senior independent work.

+ +

Senior Year

+ +

Every senior will prepare a 70–90 page thesis under the supervision of a faculty adviser.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

At the end of senior year, students will take an oral examination concerning their senior independent work, focus of study and work in the department generally.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

The Department of Religion welcomes study abroad for departmental majors in their junior year.  Because REL 399 is required, and crucial, for the junior paper research, and offered only during the fall semester, study abroad during the fall term of junior year is discouraged. However, those juniors who have compelling reasons to study abroad in their fall semester should meet with the director of undergraduate studies about their plans, including plans for satisfying REL 399 and the preparation of their junior paper proposal. Juniors who study abroad in the spring term will write the required spring junior paper under the supervision of a religion department faculty member, observing the department's JP deadline. Students must consult with the DUS before leaving for their study abroad program.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

Those students considering graduate work in religion are strongly advised to develop a reading knowledge of languages most appropriate to their focus of study, for example, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, German and French.

+ +

Religion and Special Programs. Students who wish to combine the study of religion with work in programs should consult the director of undergraduate studies. In recent years, religion majors have received certificates in African American studies, African studies, American studies, dance, East Asian studies, European cultural studies, Hellenic studies, Judaic studies, Near Eastern studies, theater, visual arts, and gender and sexuality studies.

The weekly lecture and assigned readings will provide historical context, but the focus of the course will be on primary texts that reflect the major developments in ancient Judaism, to be treated during a two-hour precept. + + Y.

Program Offerings

+ +
+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

The Slavic department welcomes students who are interested in developing a critically informed appreciation for the literature and culture of Russia and the Slavic world. Our majors attain a high level of proficiency that allows them to work with both primary and secondary sources in the target language (BCS, Czech, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian).

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+
  • The Slavic department aspires to develop in its majors a critically informed appreciation for the literature and culture of Russia and the Slavic world.
    • +
  • Majors should develop comprehensive knowledge of those historical trajectories, artistic trends and intellectual currents that have shaped in a unique way the literary tradition they have chosen as their object of study.
    • +
  • Slavic majors should be critically equipped and discerning readers of texts. Apart from intimate acquaintance with primary sources in their area of interest, they are expected to acquire knowledge of theoretical paradigms and productive critical approaches to literature and culture.
    • +
  • Since linguistic competence is an indispensable prerequisite in the learning process, the department expects students to attain a level of proficiency that will allow them to work with both primary and secondary sources in the target language. The student’s competence in the chosen Slavic language should enable them to appreciate the subtleties of artistic expression in literary works, as well as to navigate the intricacies of critical/theoretical texts. Attentive close reading should result in an understanding of literary texts that is not only thematic or historical, but that also engages with the stylistic features.
    • +
  • Majors are expected to perfect their writing skills, so as to produce work that is solidly structured, rhetorically appealing and logically sustained. 
    • +
  • In their independent work, majors should offer an original and thoughtful interpretation of the chosen topic and sources.  
    • +
+
+
+

Advanced Placement

+

The department(link is external) gives its own placement test to all incoming students who have studied Russian. On the basis of this test, students are placed in an appropriate course. Successful completion of RUS 107, RUS 108 (Russian for Heritage Speakers), or immediate assignment to a higher course satisfies the A.B. language requirement. If students have experience speaking Russian at home, but lack formal schooling in the language, they should contact Svetlana Korshunova (sk22@princeton.edu(link sends email)) to discuss placement in Russian for Heritage Speakers.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

RUS 107 (or placement equivalent) or RUS 108

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

A minimum of eight departmental courses is required, in addition to a required junior methods seminar. Four upper-level courses must be within the department, two of which must be from the core survey courses (SLA 219, 220, 221); the other four courses may be from cognate areas depending on the student's particular interests. For example, if the major is 19th-century prose, the program might include courses from French or German literature. Students with a strong interest in Russian and Soviet studies might take area courses in the Program in Russian and Eurasian Studies such as Russian history, politics, anthropology or sociology. These are only sample suggestions. The program is flexible and strives to satisfy as wide a range of interests as possible.

+ +

Majors are required to complete RUS 207 and one or more advanced language courses (RUS 208, 405, 406, 407, or 408); or one of the upper-level literature courses taught in Russian (SLA 308, 312, 350, 413). Students who place beyond RUS 207, or who complete the Russian Heritage Speakers courses (RUS 103-108), will work with the director of undergraduate studies to design an appropriate course of study.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work

+ +

Slavic majors are required to take a credit-bearing methods seminar in the fall of their junior year. This seminar will be devoted to various approaches to the field in Russian (or other Slavic languages), including one seminar session on research methods with Dr. Thomas Keenan (tkeenan@princeton.edu(link sends email)), the Firestone Library Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies librarian; and including, but not limited to, examples of scholarship written by Slavic department faculty. The final assignment for the seminar is an annotated bibliography that reflects the research the student has undertaken in preparation for the fall JP. Separate from the grade for the seminar, juniors receive one grade for their fall JP and one for their spring JP. Each JP is 20–25 pages long and written in English. It incorporates Russian (or other Slavic language) resources to a significant degree and comprises one-half of the overall junior independent grade. Please refer to the Slavic Department Guide to Independent Work for the most up-to-date guidelines for each assignment.

+ +

Senior Independent Work

+ +

In senior year, the student's independent work, written under departmental supervision, consists of a thesis of about 20,000 words to be submitted two weeks before the first day of the spring term reading period. After the thesis is submitted, students give a brief (5-minute) presentation in Russian (or relevant Slavic language), and after each presentation there is a question and answer period in English, for the Slavic department faculty and fellow students. Total presentation time will run roughly 15 minutes per student. This presentation does not receive a grade.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

Graduating seniors are required to take a comprehension examination on Russian literature. Together with the thesis and departmental grades, this examination is one of three components that determine departmental honors. The take-home exam is based on a core list of works taught in the three survey courses offered by the department. Students may substitute a limited number of works based on their individual interests for the comprehensive exam. The finalized list must be submitted to the director of undergraduate studies one month before the exam.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Students interested in summer study abroad can participate in the intensive Russian language course taught by native speakers of Russian at Tallinn University. The program runs June–August and will cover two semesters of Intermediate Russian, for which Princeton students will receive transfer credit for RUS 105-107. Please visit the Russian Summer Program in Tallinn website(link is external) for more information.

+
+
+

Preparation for Graduate Study

+

Departmental majors who are considering pursuing graduate studies in Slavic are reminded that most graduate schools require a reading knowledge of a second modern language. French and German are important for Russian literature. Graduate programs in Russian literature often require another Slavic language. Students should think about preparing themselves while still undergraduates to meet these requirements.

Program Offerings

+
+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

Sociology at Princeton offers a cutting-edge undergraduate major for people interested in the social dimensions of politics, economics, history, psychology and demography. The major encourages students to engage in cross-disciplinary thinking even as it provides a thorough grounding in a single field. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches to social science are utilized by our students and faculty.

+ +

Princeton sociology graduates are admitted to the leading medical, law and business schools; and they take jobs from Wall Street to social activism. Students majoring in sociology are in increasing demand as corporations and governments want graduates with the conceptual and/or statistical tools to make sense of rapid social change and the recent explosion of digital data generated by the web.

+ +

Department faculty do research and teaching on important topics of concern in the "real world," from social networks, immigration and inequality to globalization, politics and economic sociology.

+
+

Goals for Student Learning

+

Sociology is the systematic study of human action, from face-to-face interaction to organizational behavior to that of nation-states. It is the most methodologically inclusive of the social sciences and incorporates qualitative, quantitative, experimental, historical and machine learning within its research toolkit. Despite its diverse subject matter and methods, the sociology major has been designed to provide a coherent intellectual experience that is both rigorous and responsive to a range of academic and career interests. Our student learning goals are fivefold:

+ +
  1. Students will come to understand the ways in which the lives of individuals and social groups are affected by social context and will demonstrate an ability to explain or interpret social phenomena via reference to core sociological concepts (e.g., culture, social structure, agency, socialization, norms, roles or social institutions). 
    2. +
  2. Students will be able to describe and compare major concepts and theories developed by classical and contemporary social theorists and use them to analyze social phenomena.
    3. +
  3. Students will gain mastery of applied statistics including simple description, the logic of statistical inference, hypothesis testing and methods for addressing research questions of conceptual and practical interest to social scientists. Relatedly, students will learn to critically evaluate the quality of statistical evidence produced by social scientists as featured in research articles, media accounts or reports written for audiences of policymakers and educated generalists (i.e., those who are not professional researchers).
    4. +
  4.  Students will demonstrate the ability to construct a research project designed to answer a sociological question of interest. Students will demonstrate ability to (a) move from theory and concepts to strategies of measurement; (b) attend to validity and reliability; (c) assess the appropriateness of different data types (e.g., experimental, survey, interview, ethnographic); (d) incorporate research methods frequently used by social scientists; (e) propose an appropriate research design for testing theory-based hypotheses, or interpreting and exploring social phenomena; and (f) apply the logic of causal inference (including acknowledging when such inference is unjustified).
    5. +
  5. Students will complete said research projects for their junior independent work and later their senior thesis. These works will incorporate knowledge they have gained from coursework on sociological theory, statistics, research design and methods, and substantive areas of the discipline. Students will identify interesting research questions and/or theory-based hypotheses, utilize appropriate data collection and analysis methods, interpret empirical patterns, write research reports and make effective presentations.

+
+
+

Prerequisites

+

Students are normally encouraged to complete one or more courses in sociology by the end of sophomore year. Sociology 101 is highly recommended, though some majors take it after they have enrolled in the department.

+
+
+

Program of Study

+

Students are required to take a minimum of nine courses in sociology, including an upper limit of two cognate courses in other departments which must receive approval from sociology in order to count toward the required nine. A "cognate" course is a Princeton class offered by another department that has substantial sociological content. All departmental courses or approved cognates that count toward the required nine must be taken for a grade and cannot be taken pass/D/fail. SOC 101, SOC 300, SOC 301, and SOC 302 are requirements for the major. Collectively they are designed to help students carry out their junior and senior independent work. These courses expose students to the nature of sociological problems and theory, the logic of inquiry, the techniques of empirical investigation and the elements of statistics. SOC 300 and SOC 301 are usually taken in the fall of junior year and are offered at that time to facilitate students who wish to study abroad in the spring. SOC 302 is normally offered in the spring.

+
+
+

Independent Work

+

Junior Independent Work. Juniors begin their independent work in the fall of their junior year, but the work is due near the end of the spring semester.

+ +

The junior paper is written with SOC 300 and SOC 301 providing the basic research tools to formulate the project. Junior papers require students to conduct limited data analysis, whether of primary data (generated by students themselves) or secondary data (derived from existing data sources). In some cases, the junior paper becomes the foundation for the student's senior thesis. All junior papers are graded by a second reader, in addition to the major adviser.

+ +

Senior Independent Work. Senior independent work consists of completing a thesis that (a) explores the various theoretical approaches that have been used to explain a particular social phenomenon and (b) examines that phenomenon through extensive analysis of data, whether primary (generated by students themselves) or secondary (derived from existing data sources). Students whose thesis topics require advanced quantitative skills may acquire the necessary competence by enrolling in suitable statistics courses.

+ +

Students who are contemplating collecting their own data (for either the junior paper or senior thesis) will need the prior approval of the University's Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects.

+
+
+

Senior Departmental Examination

+

Each senior takes an oral examination based on the senior thesis and the broader subfield to which it contributes. A departmental committee conducts this examination in May.

+
+
+

Study Abroad

+

Sociology welcomes students with international interests who wish to study abroad for one or two semesters. The department makes every effort to accommodate these students by coordinating special arrangements for advising on independent work and by permitting them to take required courses out of sequence, either before or after the period of study overseas. Normally, two courses taken during a semester or a year abroad count as departmentals. Such courses will need preapproval from the director of undergraduate studies.

+ +

Undergraduate Departmental Committee. At the beginning of every year, an Undergraduate Student Advisory Committee is selected. This committee, consisting of equal numbers of junior and senior majors, advises the department on matters pertaining to curriculum, staffing and requirements.

+ +

Research Facilities. The Social Science Reference Center, the Data and Statistical Services unit and the Stokes Library provide facilities for study and research in the form of collections of books, journal articles, reports, microfilm and electronic data. Staff members in these units are available to majors who are completing their independent work, looking for appropriate data sets to analyze, or seeking advice on where to find literature relevant to their research topics.

+ By taking a comparative approach, this course examines the role of social, economic, and political factors in the emergence and transformation of modern cities in the United States and selected areas of Latin America. The class considers the city in its dual image: both as a center of progress and as a redoubt of social problems, especially poverty. Special attention is given to spatial processes that have resulted in the aggregation and desegregation of populations differentiated by social class and race. Two lectures, one preceptorial. + + P. Fernández-Kelly + +
+ + + +

+
+ +
+
Offering type
+
A.B.
+
+ +

More than half a billion people across five continents speak Spanish or Portuguese as their first language, and in the United States, with more than 38 million Spanish speakers, the Hispanic legacy is embedded in myriad aspects of American politics, arts and culture. Our community of scholars studies and highlights the importance and influence of the Spanish, Latin American and Luso-Afro-Brazilian histories, cultures and languages in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to our globalized present.

+ +

Our department(link is external) is a critical pillar of Princeton's commitment to internationalization and scholarly excellence. We encourage and facilitate interdisciplinary work, and our faculty are active in many other departments and programs on campus, including the Program in Latin American Studies, international and regional studies, Brazil LAB, American studies, global health, media and modernity, the School of Architecture, comparative literature, Renaissance studies, history, art and archaeology, the Art Museum and the Environmental Institute.

+ +

Our mission is to help Princeton students flourish as global citizens, ready to face the challenges posed by an increasingly cosmopolitan and multilingual professional world. With this general purpose in mind, we offer a full range of language courses, advanced seminars on literature and culture, translation workshops and the opportunity for independent study. With the support and guidance of our talented faculty, students can study not only the Spanish and Portuguese languages, but also literatures, visual arts, music, urban cultures, as well as the complex political and social histories of the Hispanic and Luso-Afro-Brazilian worlds.

+ +

Students become familiar with renowned writers such as Miguel de Cervantes and Jorge Luis Borges; Nobel Prize laureates Gabriela Mistral, José Saramago and Mario Vargas Llosa; influential artists such as the painters Diego Velázquez, Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo; the architect Oscar Niemeyer; contemporary musicians Caetano Veloso, Gotan Project and Calle 13; as well as international filmmakers such as Luis Buñuel, Pedro Almodóvar, Kleber Mendonça and Alfonso Cuarón. To experience cultural and linguistic immersion, our students also can study abroad through our popular summer programs in Argentina, Portugal and Spain, or with other approved international programs.

+ +

Our majors and certificate recipients are provided with the high linguistic proficiency, cross-cultural literacy and critical and analytical skills that are key for careers in the humanities, law, medicine, government, international relations, international business, education and community-based initiatives today. They also enable students interested in the environment to communicate effectively when doing research or volunteering in Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking regions. Our courses serve as passports for living and working in more than 30 countries, including some of the fastest growing economies in the world.

    +
    +

    Goals for Student Learning

    +

    The mission of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese is to provide our majors with a refined knowledge of the literatures, cultures, societies and politics of the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking worlds. To address the range of areas in which this expertise can potentially be deployed, the department offers four different tracks: 1. Spanish Language, Literature and Culture or Portuguese Language, Literature and Culture; 2. POR and SPA Language, Literature and Culture; 3. Interdisciplinary, which combines the target language and culture with another field; and 4. Creative Arts.

    + +

    In response to the variety of interests and career goals of our students, we have expanded the range of course types and have opened perspectives for independent work. The diversity of the faculty’s approaches, as well as the preeminence of the multidisciplinary perspective represented by cultural studies, allow us to offer courses that include literary, cultural, visual and political analysis, translation theory and practice, studies on diversity and inequality, creative writing, etc. In recent years, our students have successfully defended senior theses of the most diverse nature: e.g., cultural and literary research, journalistic chronicles, ethnography, creative writing.

    + +

    The academic itinerary of Spanish and Portuguese majors attends the following learning goals:

    + +
    • To acquire a sophisticated knowledge of the contextual and historical specificities of the target culture(s) and their linguistic circulation, as well as to understand their positioning and involvement in global cultural and social networks.
      • +
    • To master the necessary methodological tools to critically analyze the studied topics. These include but are not limited to literary close reading, film studies and cultural analysis.
      • +
    • To acquire the research skills that are necessary to produce original and sophisticated pieces of work on the target topics. These include but are not limited to quantitative and qualitative analysis, development of archival research and conduction of ethnographic work.
      • +
    • To become familiar with the main currents in critical theory, especially those produced and circulating in the regions studied. Also, to be able to apply critical theory and other secondary sources in the development of independent research, whether it is aimed at creative work or at a scholarly essay.
      • +
    • To use their acquired knowledge and skills to actively intervene in a field of expertise, whether in education, cultural institutions, public policy or any other sector.
      • +
    +
    +
    +

    Advanced Placement

    +

    An advanced placement examination in Spanish (language and/or literature) with a score of 5 or SAT Subject Test score of at least 760 is required to satisfy the A.B. language requirement at entrance, or for admission to a 200-level course. A score of 7 on the higher-level IB test or a grade of A on the British A-level exam also fulfills the requirement.

    +
    +
    +

    Prerequisites

    +

    The normal requirement for admission to the department is successful completion of two 200-level courses in Spanish or one 200-level course in Portuguese.

    + +

    Declaration of Major

    + +

    Before or right after declaring a major in Spanish and/or Portuguese in April of sophomore year, please email the director of undergraduate studies to set up an appointment.

    + +

    Majors automatically default into the Track 1 subplan. (See track descriptions below.) There will be an opportunity to elect a subplan during the declaration period. However, it can be elected or changed at any time during junior or senior year by contacting the department's undergraduate administrator.

    + +

    Early Major

    + +

    Qualified students are encouraged to decide on their major as early as possible in their sophomore year. In this way they can benefit from departmental advising on course selection and on the possibility of spending a semester or the whole junior year abroad.

    +
    +
    +

    Program of Study

    +

    All Spanish majors are strongly advised to take one advanced language course (SPA 205, SPA 207, SPA 207S, SPA 208S, SPA 209, or SPA 307), unless the director of undergraduate studies (in consultation with the language directors) determines that the respective student’s language skills do not warrant taking such a course.

    + +

    All Portuguese majors are required to take at least one 200-level POR course.

    + +

    All Spanish majors must take one course in pre-1800 literature. University regulations limit to 12 the number of departmental courses allowed to each student in their major. Students cannot earn both a SPO major (in any track) and a SPO certificate (in any language). Students interested in focusing in both Spanish and Portuguese may choose Track 2 for their major.

    +
    +
    +

    Departmental Tracks

    +

    Departmental courses cover a wide array of literary, cultural, social, historical and political topics. Students are therefore able to pursue courses of study that are tailor-made to their own individual interests. The department offers four different tracks for majors.

    + +

    Please note that an upper division course is any course above Spanish 209 or POR 209.

    + +

    Track 1. One Language — Spanish Language, Literature and Culture or Portuguese Language, Literature and Culture Track

    + +

    Major in one language, literature and culture (Spanish or Portuguese). Requires a minimum of eight upper-division courses in the language of the major. Up to two of those courses may be taken in English, in which case all written work must be completed in the target language.

    + +

    Track 2. Two Languages, Literature and Culture (POR and SPA) Track

    + +

    Major in two languages, literature and cultures (Spanish and Portuguese; or Spanish/Portuguese and another language). Requires a combination of five upper-division courses in Spanish or Portuguese and three upper-division courses in the second language. One of the five upper-division courses in Spanish or Portuguese may be taken in English, in which case all written work must be completed in the target language.

    + +

    Track 3. Interdisciplinary Track

    + +

    Major in Spanish or Portuguese with another related field (e.g., urban studies, architecture, global health and health policy, environmental studies, humanistic studies, sociology, European studies, international studies, Latino studies, Latin American studies, comparative literature, history, politics, anthropology).

    + +

    Track 4. Creative Arts Track

    + +

    Major in Spanish or Portuguese with the creative arts (e.g., creative writing, theater, visual arts, translation). Requires a combination of five upper-division courses in Spanish or Portuguese and three upper-division courses in the creative arts. One of the five upper-division courses in Spanish or Portuguese may be taken in English, in which case all written work must be completed in the target language.

    + +
    Track Requirements
    + +

    Any track in the major in Spanish and/or Portuguese literature and cultures requires a minimum of eight upper-division courses, at least five of which must be in the language of the major. With the approval of the director of undergraduate studies, up to three courses taken during a semester abroad may count toward the major if the student is pursuing Track 1 or Track 2. Up to two courses taken during a semester abroad may be counted toward the major if the student is pursuing Track 3 or Track 4.

    + +

    How to Get Started: Language Requirement, Placement Test and Proficiency Evaluations

    + +

    Students who wish to continue a language begun in secondary school must have their proficiency measured either by a College Board score for admission (see Advanced Placement above) or by the department's placement test(link is external) administered online during the summer before course registration. 

    + +

    Spanish Language Program

    + +

    The normal program for beginners seeking a basic mastery of Spanish is the sequence 101, 102, 107, which satisfies the University's language requirement.

    + +

    Students with a satisfactory score on the department's Spanish language placement test will be placed in either 103 or 105, and will proceed respectively to 107 or 108 to satisfy the University language requirement. They may also be placed directly into 108. Students who have successfully completed 107 may not take 108. Students cannot place into SPA 102 or SPA 107 through the department's placement test.

    + +

    Course credit in 101-102, 103, 107, or 108 is also available through approved courses outside of Princeton University (see Study Abroad below). Students who take 100-level Spanish courses outside of Princeton University must take the departmental placement test after the completion of their courses to demonstrate that they have reached the necessary proficiency level.

    + +

    Email Catalina Méndez Vallejo(link sends email), associate director of the Spanish language program, for questions regarding the placement test.

    + +

    Students who want to receive credit for a Spanish language course taken outside of Princeton, or have questions concerning summer language study, should email Mariana Bono(link sends email), associate director of the Spanish language program.

    + +

    Please contact Mariana Bono for the following:

    + +
    • Language assessment and proficiency evaluations (undergraduate and graduate students)
      • +
    • Pre-approval for 100- and 200-level Spanish language courses taken abroad. For upper-level Spanish literature and culture courses, please contact director of undergraduate studies Rafael Cesar(link is external).
      • +

    Contact Mariana Bono for questions regarding the Teacher Prep Program.

    + +

    Portuguese Language Program

    + +

    The sequence for beginners seeking a basic mastery of Portuguese is 101, 102, 107, which satisfies the University's language requirement. The sequence for students who have a previous knowledge of a Romance language is 106, 109, which also satisfies the University's language requirement. POR 106 is designed for, but not limited to, students who have already fulfilled the language requirement in Spanish, French or Italian. Students are encouraged to contact an instructor of Portuguese to find out whether they qualify to take 106. POR 199 is an intensive one-semester course and may not be used to fulfill the language requirement.  Placement is handled on a case-by-case basis. All questions related to 100- and 200-level Portuguese courses can be addressed to the director of the Portuguese Language Program, Nicola Cooney.

    + +

    The Portuguese faculty and instructors have created Lingua Viva(link is external), an online learning platform tailored to Princeton students, to support Portuguese courses. This website includes videos, music, news, literary works and more to maximize language acquisition, and promotes the diverse cultures of the Portuguese-speaking world. You are required to log into your Princeton University account in order to access the resources on the website.

    + +

    For questions concerning placement and summer study, please contact Nicola Cooney (ncooney@princeton.edu(link sends email)), director of the Portuguese language program.

    +
    +
    +

    Independent Work

    +

    The program of study in junior and senior years is generally more intensive in its focus, reflecting the requirements of the departmental major the student has chosen. Undergraduates declare their departmental major prior to the start of junior year and complete a program of study that combines a set of courses with junior and senior independent work. Independent work gives students the opportunity to work closely with faculty members on library, laboratory and field-based research, and in sustained writing projects. The independent work requirement, culminating in the senior thesis, is the keystone of the Princeton academic experience. In senior year, students take a departmental examination that is focused on some aspect of their major or on the senior thesis.

    + +

    Junior Papers

    + +

    Majors are strongly advised to take SPA/POR 330 during the fall of their junior year. This course is designed to introduce students to research methods and to guide them in the production of their first junior paper.

    + +

    Majors should discuss as soon as possible their area of interest with the director of undergraduate studies in order to find the most appropriate advisers for the junior papers (JPs). By the end of September (first JP), and by mid-February (second JP), all juniors should have contacted their advisers to discuss a plan of work.

    + +

    The first JP (fall semester) should be about 4,000 words, and the second JP (spring semester) should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words. Both JPs may be written in English, in which case a three-page summary in the target language must be provided. Or, the JP can be written in the target language, in which case a summary is not needed. Any extensions beyond the University deadline date need preapproval from both the director of undergraduate studies and the residential college dean. All JPs must include the University's honor pledge.

    + +

    Majors following two languages are encouraged to write one JP in each of the languages of the majors.

    + +

    Senior Thesis

    + +

    Majors should select a senior thesis adviser by the end of September at the latest. The senior thesis is normally written in English and should be between 15,000 and 20,000 words. Topics chosen in the past have ranged over the whole field of Spanish and Portuguese studies, from linguistic problems and literary techniques through close textual analysis to thematic and ideological studies. Students primarily interested in culture and civilization have written on art, political and economic issues, education and a variety of social questions. The senior thesis is a major commitment of a student's time and energy, and the most important yardstick for choosing a topic is willingness to spend many hours on a particular set of texts or problems. Please visit the Mudd Library website for inspiration and a listing of previous senior thesis topics over the years. More detailed information can be found in the Senior Thesis Handbook(link is external).

    + +

    Any extensions beyond the University deadline date need preapproval from both the director of undergraduate studies and the residential college dean.

    + +

    Resources are available to assist students with the costs of senior thesis research, including, when appropriate, travel abroad. The best time to use them is the summer preceding senior year.

    +
    +
    +

    Senior Departmental Examination

    +

    The senior departmental/comprehensive exam will consist of an oral presentation of the thesis. It will be followed by questions regarding the thesis content and bibliography, as well as questions related to the coursework done by the student in the department.

    +
    +
    +

    Study Abroad

    +

    The department strongly encourages its majors to spend as much time as they can in any country where their language(s) of concentration is (are) spoken. There are many ways of doing this within the four-year undergraduate degree: through study abroad for one or two semesters; through summer study abroad; and through a summer internship abroad. All students must visit the Office of International Programs(link is external), to become acquainted with the administrative procedures related to study abroad.

    + +

    Junior Semester / Junior Year Abroad

    + +

    Students planning to spend a semester or their whole junior year abroad should seek advice from the director of undergraduate studies and from relevant faculty in choosing a suitable program of study. Further assistance is available from the Office of International Programs. Departmental and University approvals of programs abroad are required.

    + +

    Grades awarded by overseas institutions for courses that are recognized in lieu of Princeton courses are not included in the consideration of departmental honors.

    + +

    Students who study abroad are not exempted from independent work requirements. If necessary, the department will decide to find a JP adviser in the location where the student spends the semester or year abroad or will indicate a department adviser who will be in contact with the student throughout the term or year abroad.

    + +

    Up to three approved courses taken abroad in one semester will normally count for up to three course credits toward the major. Students must complete the program abroad to the standards required by the overseas institution. For more information, please see Go Abroad(link is external) and the International Travel Handbook(link is external) which are available online or in the Office of International Programs.

    + +

    Summer Language Study

    + +

    All students interested in languages are encouraged to study abroad during the summer in one of the programs recommended by the department and the Office of International Programs. The Department of Spanish and Portuguese has summer programs in Toledo, Spain, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, for students with intermediate and advanced knowledge of Spanish, and a summer program in Lisbon, Portugal, for students with intermediate to advanced knowledge of Portuguese. The department offers several scholarships to attend those programs.

    + +

    Study Abroad Course Approval

    + +

    For courses not offered through or affiliated with Princeton University, Approval for a Course Taken at Another Institution forms must be approved by the department contacts noted below, depending on the course level. After meeting with the Office of International Programs, please email the appropriate faculty member for an appointment, and bring a form for approval along with the study abroad course description, syllabus or materials.

    The next generation of technological solutions will come from making unforeseen connections between ideas. With that in mind, the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering curriculum builds in the flexibility for students to pursue their passions. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for a future beyond Princeton. The mission of CBE is mainly (a) to offer educational and research programs of the highest quality that will prepare students for leadership positions in the chemical, biochemical and materials industries; academia; and government laboratories; (b) to help define the frontiers of knowledge in modern chemical and biological engineering through intellectual leadership in research and scholarship; (c) to contribute to the nation’s technological leadership by accomplishing research that stimulates the development of new technologies.

    +
    +

    Goals for Student Learning

    +

    The Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) curriculum is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of engineering, mathematics and science, with an emphasis on chemistry and biochemistry. The goal is to enable students to pursue careers in a wide range of industries including manufacturing, pharmaceutical, energy, materials, biotechnology and many others. To achieve this, the chemical and biological engineering curriculum has a core of common technical courses that is complemented with program electives tailored to the career objectives for each individual student. The program electives explore areas including biotechnology/life sciences, environmental sciences, materials and product engineering, entrepreneurship and management, systems engineering and information technology and engineering science. In addition, all students are required to complete a year-long senior thesis, which provides students with the vital experience of integrating their training in an independent research project.

    +
    +
    +

    Prerequisites

    +

    All B.S.E. students must meet the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the University general requirements within the first year. The student's course of study is planned in consultation with the director of undergraduate studies and the academic adviser and requires a year-long thesis, which counts as two courses. The CBE curriculum is flexible to provide opportunities for students to pursue minors and certificate programs across the University, and to study abroad in their sophomore year.

    +
    +
    +

    Program of Study

    +

    In the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering a student must choose courses during the sophomore, junior and senior years to provide a core knowledge of chemical and biological engineering and advanced knowledge in a major. The advanced science and core chemical and biological engineering courses in the sophomore and junior years provide the fundamental tools of thermodynamics, transport processes and reactor analysis. In the spring semester of junior year, students take a laboratory-based course that utilizes core chemical and biological engineering knowledge. In their senior year, students undertake an in-depth design analysis with state-of-the-art design and optimization tools.

    + +

    Students can tailor their specific interests in chemical and biological engineering by pursuing a major that culminates with a senior thesis project. The majors, reflective of the practice of modern chemical and biological engineering, include bioengineering and biotechnology, entrepreneurship and management, energy and environmental technology, materials and product engineering, optimization, dynamics, and information technology, science and engineering for new technologies. Students are required to designate a major and take three courses within that major, and two more courses in two separate areas of concentration for breadth. For a list of preapproved courses, consult the CBE Undergraduate Handbook(link is external). The senior thesis is usually undertaken within the major. In addition, students are required to take at least one course each from two of the advanced areas outside their major to provide technical diversity. The advanced chemistry or biology course requirement and the advanced chemical and biological engineering course requirement can both be satisfied by electives in the major.

    + +

    The program of study is accredited as a program in chemical engineering by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET(link is external). CBE students complete a minimum of 12 engineering topic courses as required by ABET. This is satisfied by completing the CBE core courses (double credit thesis makes the CBE core equivalent to nine courses), School of Engineering and Applied Science computer science requirement (COS 126) and at least two program electives identified as ET (Engineering Topic content) within the six majors.

    Additional Information

    +

    Special Programs and Options. The flexibility built into the chemical and biological engineering curriculum provides an opportunity for students to obtain a thorough education in the fundamentals of chemical and biological engineering science and at the same time pursue a cognate field (a track) such as biology, business, medicine, chemistry or physics. Students simply elect as few or as many courses in the cognate field as they desire. While some students may concentrate all their electives in a single field, others may prefer to divide their time between two tracks — for example, chemistry and the biological sciences, or physics and mathematics. The following list suggests the many tracks available.

    Program of Study

    +

    The department offers five tracks: architecture and engineering, environmental engineering, geological engineering, structural engineering, and engineering and the liberal arts. In the first year, students should complete the mathematics, basic science, computing and writing requirements common to all B.S.E. programs. At the end of the first year, the student declares CEE as a major and selects one of the tracks. Course requirements include engineering science courses, engineering design courses, a senior thesis and program electives. For all but the non-ABET accredited tracks, there are additional math and science requirements that are normally satisfied by taking MAE 305 Mathematics in Engineering, ORF 245 Fundamentals of Engineering Statistics and GEO 203 Fundamentals of Solid Earth Science. In total, a student's program of study must include a minimum of 14 engineering courses, with the exception of students in the non-ABET accredited tracks.

    + +

    The selection of a track provides a guide in the selection of program electives. A student's program electives must provide a coherent sequence in the student's area of interest. Approval is based on agreement from the adviser and the director of studies. For a list of preapproved electives, consult the CEE Academic Guide (The Yellow Book). In addition, all candidates for the B.S.E. degree are required to satisfy the general University and School of Engineering and Applied Science requirements.

    With computation and computer science now permeating all corners of society and the economy, a computer science education has become a good launching pad for almost any career. Core concepts and skills emphasized in the computer science curriculum include theoretical and quantitative analysis of computation; design/engineering principles of advanced computer systems; and foundations and methods of AI and machine learning. The curriculum provides additional flexibility to explore subdisciplines of computer science (programming languages, formal methods, software engineering, computer graphics, information security), or to branch out into cross-disciplinary investigations (neuroscience and cognitive science, computational biology, information policy, robotics, data science, etc.). Most computer science majors enjoy programming. Quite a few start with zero or minimal background and can enhance their skills while progressing through the curriculum.

    + +

    The plan below applies to the Class of 2025(link is external) and beyond; the requirements for the Class of 2024 and earlier are available from the Computer Science Department website(link is external) and archived versions of the Undergraduate Announcement.

    +

    Admission to the Program

    +

    Information for First-Year Students

    + +

    Students with a general interest in the sciences or engineering are encouraged to take COS 126(link is external) in the first year. This provides useful background for applications work in any science or engineering major and preserves the option of later electing a computer science major.

    +
    +
    +

    Program of Study

    +

    Majors must take at least eight departmental courses on a graded basis. These fall into three categories: foundation, core courses, and electives. 

    + +

     

    + +

    Foundation

    + +

    Students must take COS 240 (Reasoning and Computation), to be completed before the end of junior year.

    + +

    + +

    Students must take a total of four courses, one from each of the four categories listed below:

    + +
    1. +

      Computer Systems

      +
      2. +
    • COS 316 (Principles of Computer System Design) or COS 375 (Computer Architecture  and Organization)
      • +
    Alternatives
    + +
    • COS 318 (Operating Systems)
      • +
    • COS 418 (Distributed Systems)
      • +
    • COS 461 (Computer Networks)
      • +

     

    + +
    1. +

      • +

     

    + +
    1. Breadth
      2. +

    This category contains courses that either explore another subdiscipline beyond Systems/Theory/AIML or provide experience with real-world applications. Students must complete at least one.  

    + +
    • COS 326 (Functional Programming)
      • +
    • COS 333 (Advanced Programming Techniques)

    • COS 448 (Innovating across Technology, Business, and Markets)
      • +

     

    + +

    Electives 

    + +

    Students must take three COS courses numbered 300 or higher. Alternatively, up to two electives may be chosen from a list of approved courses from other departments (see the department website(link is external) for an up-to-date list).   

    + +

    Students should consult with a computer science academic adviser on their course selections once they decide to become computer science majors. Academic advisers(link is external) are listed on the Department of Computer Science webpage.

    + +

    Integrated Science Sequence

    + +

    An alternative path into the department is through the integrated science curriculum. Integrated Science (ISC/CHM/COS/MOL/PHY 231/232 fall and 233/234 spring)(link is external) is a double course, meaning that it counts as two courses each semester (out of the four you would normally take). It results in formal credit for introductory chemistry (two semesters), physics (two semesters), computer science (one semester) and molecular biology (one semester). A nontraditional laboratory component is also part of the course, which includes experiments from all these sciences. For full course descriptions and more information, see the Integrated Science website(link is external).

    +
    +
    +

    Independent Work

    +

    All B.S.E. majors engage in independent work(link is external) supervised by a member of the department. Independent work projects involve the study and solution of specific problems in or related to computer science. These may arise from varied motivations, such as research questions intrinsic to the field; entrepreneurial activities; software design; policy or ethics issues in the tech world; applications of computer science to other disciplines or to societal problems. Many students come up with their own IW topics; others may formulate them with help from faculty advisers.

    + +

    B.S.E. students must elect one semester of independent work by enrolling in 397 (junior fall), 398 (junior spring), 497 (senior fall), or 498 (senior spring). One additional semester of independent work may be counted as one of the departmental courses. B.S.E. students are also welcome, but not required, to complete a senior thesis.

    + +

    The department also offers a curriculum leading to an A.B. degree. The primary differences between the A.B. and B.S.E(link is external). programs are in the general requirements for the degree programs.

    +
    +
    +

    Study Abroad

    +

    Become a citizen of the world! Computer Science majors(link is external) are allowed and encouraged to study abroad for a semester or year. The Office of International Programs(link is external) (OIP) manages study abroad programs. See the Study Abroad Program(link is external) page for specific information.

    Additional Information

    +

    Interdisciplinary Studies

    + +

    The pervasive nature of modern computing has introduced many interactions between computer science and other disciplines. Basic preparation in computer science is valuable for a broad variety of careers because of the computer's central role in society. Professionals who understand computers are far more effective in their work. In the past, a large amount of technical preparation was required before interesting applications could be considered; today's undergraduates are able to use computers to study important problems in other disciplines.

    + +

    Some possible areas for interdisciplinary study are mathematics, music, art, economics, molecular biology, neurosciences and linguistics, and any of the departments and programs within the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

    + +

    Many Princeton undergraduates view their four years at Princeton as an opportunity to gain an education before immersing themselves in rigorous training for careers in law, business or medicine. Computer science students are no exception. Through the choice of electives, students may create a specialized interdisciplinary program or a broad program with computer science as the core of preprofessional study. The former requires consultation with advisers in the related disciplines to determine what constitutes a reasonable cognate specialization, and the latter is constrained by the requirement of a coherent program of study in the major.

    B.S.E.
    +
    + +

    The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (link is external)offers an academic program of study spanning a wide range of disciplines, connecting the broad fields of information, data, communication and computing systems to circuits, energy and the physical world. To prepare students for a future beyond Princeton, the three main themes of the program are (i) a broad foundation, (ii) depth and expertise in a major, and (iii) independent work and design. 

    + +

    All students begin with a unifying foundation, after which areas of specialization range from information and data sciences, computing systems, privacy and security, and communication technology, to robotics and autonomous cyberphysical systems, to semiconductor electronic and optoelectronic devices, materials and nanotechnology, photonics and optics, and quantum computing, to circuits with energy and biomedical applications. Students may select one of a set of suggested areas of specialization. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers an undergraduate program of study in electrical engineering accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET(link is external) under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

    + +

    Students enter the department with a variety of career objectives in mind. Some intend to enter industry directly upon graduation or to continue their studies in graduate school. Others wish to use the electrical and computer engineering program as background for careers in other fields ranging from business to law to medicine. Flexibility in the undergraduate program allows a wide variety of objectives to be achieved and to allow a student to see a wide cross-section of electrical and computer engineering before deciding on a major. Similarly, students may also formally combine electrical and computer engineering with studies in a wide range of disciplines outside of ECE, from other engineering and science fields to broader topics that connect to society in many ways. (See Interdisciplinary Programs below.)

      Goals for Student Learning

      +

      The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers an undergraduate program of study in electrical engineering accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET(link is external) under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

      + +

      Accreditation ensures that certain academic programs meet established standards for engineering and technical education. The department has adopted the following program educational objectives; we want our graduates to:

      + +
      • Apply their knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to become successful leaders in technology and its applications, in industry and academia.
        • +
      • Take an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to addressing and solving engineering challenges in broad societal contexts.
        • +
      • Have the intellectual independence to critically evaluate information, and the planning skills to take well-informed and creative courses of action.
        • +
      • Practice the habits of lifelong and interdisciplinary learning, appropriate for industrial and academic careers.
        • +

      Students who successfully complete our program will have satisfied the following ABET student outcomes:

      + +
      1. An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
        2. +
      2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
        3. +

      +

      Program of Study

      +

      After the foundational courses, each student must develop depth in a coherent major. Majors may be interdisciplinary and include courses from other departments in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as from related fields such as biology, chemistry, neuroscience, physics and others. However, the courses must form a coherent theme, and normally, two of the courses will be ECE courses or designated equivalents. ORF 309/MAT 380 may be used to satisfy either the upper-level mathematics requirement or the major requirement, but not both. The current list of standard majors may be found at Undergraduate Curriculum | Electrical and Computer Engineering (princeton.edu)(link is external).

      + +

      Graduate courses (500-level) are open to undergraduates upon completion of a permission form containing the signatures of the instructor and director of undergraduate studies.

      +
      +
      +

      Independent Work

      +

      Independent projects outside normal, structured lecture or laboratory courses are a valuable educational experience, and are most like what a student will experience in life after academia. Most students find them intellectually challenging but also extremely fulfilling. The projects may be done in collaboration with a faculty member's research program, or they may be "self-driven." Each student doing independent work will be required to give a presentation during a department-organized session held at the end of each term. Sophomore and junior independent work is greatly encouraged (ECE 297, 298, 397, 398) and a two-semester senior thesis is required.

      + +

      Interdisciplinary Programs. Interested students may combine their work in electrical and computer engineering with that in other departments through interdisciplinary certificate programs such as robotics and intelligent systems, computing applications, optimization and quantitative decision science, engineering physics, materials science and engineering, neuroscience, engineering biology, environmental studies, applied and computational mathematics, sustainable energy, and technology and society. Students fulfilling a certificate program will receive a special certificate upon graduation. Majors should consult with their advisers to develop an ECE program that best combines their ECE interest with the interdisciplinary program. Additional materials on a certificate program may be obtained by contacting the director of the program.

      + +

      Further Information. Additional information on the departmental academic program and requirements is given in the electrical and computer engineering handbook, available from the departmental undergraduate office, Room B304, Engineering Quadrangle, or online at Undergraduate Program | Electrical and Computer Engineering (princeton.edu)(link is external). Prospective majors in electrical and computer engineering should consult the director of undergraduate studies as early as possible for purposes of planning an academic program.

      +
      +
      +

      Additional Requirements

      +

      General Requirements

      + +

      All candidates for the B.S.E. are required to satisfy the general University requirements and the School of Engineering and Applied Science requirements. The SEAS computing requirement should be fulfilled in the first year if possible.

      + +

      Each student's academic program must have depth in at least one area plus a reasonable degree of breadth to produce a sound basis for future development. All programs are required to have a strong design component and a strong engineering science component. The specific plan of study is determined in consultation with the student's academic adviser, taking into account ABET program guidelines. All such plans must include the following:

      + +
      1. Foundations: Electrical and Computer Engineering 201, 203, and at least one of 206 or 308. This requirement is normally satisfied by the end of  sophomore year, although 206 and 308 can be delayed if foundational courses in related disciplines make this difficult. These courses are all open to all qualified first-year students.
        2. +
      2. Core: Electrical and Computer Engineering 302. This requirement is normally satisfied by the end of junior year.
        3. +
      3. Mathematics: At least one upper-level mathematics course. This may include: MAE305/MAT301, MAE306/MAT302, ORF309/MAT309, COS 340 or any other 300-/400-level mathematics course. The course selected to satisfy this requirement may not be counted toward the major requirement, toward the breadth requirement or as a departmental. 
        4. +
      4. Major: Three courses in a chosen major. (See Program of Study.)
        5. +
      5. Breadth: At least one 300-/400-level ECE elective course in an area distinct from the major. Some COS and PHY courses are also possible. Note: ORF 309 cannot be used to satisfy this requirement.
        6. +
      6. Engineering science: An engineering course with a significant scientific component must be taken outside of ECE to satisfy this requirement. Many courses can be used to satisfy this requirement; note, however, that a course comprised largely of mathematics or applied mathematics does not satisfy the requirement. The course used to satisfy the engineering science requirement cannot also be used to satisfy the major requirement or the breadth requirement, nor can it be counted as a departmental requirement. The following is a non-exhaustive list of possibilities: COS 217, 226, 320, 402, 423, 425, 451, 487; MAE 206, 221, 222, 324, 328, 344, 345, 433, 434; CEE 205, 207, 305, 471; MSE 301, 302; CBE 245, 246, 341, 415, 447; ORF 307, 311, 405, 406, 417.
        7. +
      7. Design: At least one upper-level electrical and computer engineering course with substantial design content beyond ECE 302 must be selected. These courses include ECE 373, 375, 404, 457, 458, 462, 475, 482 and COS 426, 436. This requirement may also be satisfied through junior work or a senior thesis with a substantial design component.
        8. +
      8. Balance and completeness: ECE students must take at least two upper-level (300- or 400-level) technical courses in each of the last four terms, called "departmental" courses. Of the eight departmental courses, at least five must be ECE courses and normally include 302 and the senior thesis (497, 498). The remaining three courses can be taken in CEE, CHM, CBE, COS, EEB, ECE, ENE, MAE, MAT, MOL, MSE, NEU, ORF, or PHY. Courses in or cross-listed with electrical and computer engineering counted toward this requirement must be closely related to the student's academic program. +
        • Note: Junior independent work (397, 398) and the senior thesis (497, 498) cannot be used to fulfill the breadth or major requirements.
          • +
        9. +
      9. Senior thesis: A two-term senior thesis is required. Students must enroll in ECE 497 (fall) and ECE 498 (spring). A grade will be given at the end of each term. A senior thesis must include an oral presentation to the faculty at the end of each term.
        10. +
      10. Oral presentation: This requirement is normally satisfied by the senior thesis presentation at the end of the senior year. The midyear thesis presentation does not satisfy the requirement.

      The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (link is external) recognizes that students have a variety of career objectives. Some enter industry directly in an engineering capacity and some continue their studies in graduate school in engineering or applied science. Other MAE graduates pursue careers in business, law or medicine. The department offers sufficient flexibility to students planning an undergraduate program that meets any of these objectives and guides them to build fundamental knowledge in key engineering disciplines and develop practical skills in problem-solving and design. The subjects of solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, dynamics, control systems, materials and applied mathematics, combined with the experience of engineering design, are the core of the department's curriculum. Both the mechanical and aerospace engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET(link is external).

      Goals for Student Learning

      +

      The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is concerned with the engineering science and technologies associated with ground, air, water and space transportation, including control and dynamics of vehicles and systems, energy conversion and use, environmental effects, fluids, materials and applied physics. To accommodate this breadth of interest, the department offers two programs of study: mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. Either program may be completed individually or, through careful planning and selection of technical electives, the requirements of both the mechanical and aerospace engineering programs may be satisfied simultaneously. (See the director of undergraduate studies for further information.) Departmental students may also participate in the SEAS Engineering Physics Program or other SEAS certificate programs such as Engineering and Management Systems, Engineering Biology, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Robotics and Intelligent Systems, Materials Science in Engineering, Sustainable Energy and the Program in Applications of Computing.

      + +

      Both the mechanical and aerospace engineering programs draw on courses in the underlying fundamental sciences and mathematics during the first year and introductory engineering science courses during the second year. Students are shown the creative application of knowledge for the solution of technical problems. Various aspects of engineering design, the process of devising a system to meet a need, are introduced to the student through the laboratories starting in the second year and continue through the upper-level years. All students take a two-semester design sequence and additional engineering science courses, performing analyses and studying applications in the areas of energy, power systems, structures and the dynamics of machines and their control. The courses in design, along with advanced courses in engineering science, enable students to undertake realistic design projects during their senior year. The programs are structured to prepare graduates for an engineering career and the ability to grow professionally.

      + +

      The department recognizes that students have a wide variety of career objectives. Some may intend to enter industry directly in an engineering capacity or to continue studies in graduate school in engineering or applied science. Others may wish to take an engineering program in preparation for careers in business, law or medicine. Sufficient flexibility is provided within the undergraduate program in the department to permit meeting these and other varied objectives while acquiring a foundation in the engineering disciplines and associated problem-solving skills.

      + +

      Independent work is an important complement to formal coursework and affords students the opportunity to collaborate closely with faculty and graduate students while working on real engineering problems.

      Program of Study

      +

      The department offers two programs of study: mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. These programs draw on courses in the underlying fundamental sciences and mathematics during the first year, which lead to broad introductory engineering science courses during the second year, where students are introduced to the creative application of this knowledge to the solution of technical problems. Aspects of engineering design, the process of devising a system to meet a need, are introduced to the student through laboratories in the second year and continue through the upper-level years. Starting as early as the second semester of the sophomore year students take a two-semester design sequence as well as engineering science courses dealing with analysis and application in the areas of energy sources and power systems, structures, aerodynamics and flow systems, and the dynamics of machines and their control. The early introduction of design, combined with further depth in engineering science, enables students to undertake realistic design projects during their senior year. The programs are designed to prepare the graduate for an engineering career and give them the ability to continue to grow professionally.

      + +

      Mechanical Engineering

      + +

      This program deals with the analysis and design of machines, their motion, power sources and control. The curriculum is based on dynamics, thermodynamics and the study of the structure and behavior of fluid and solid materials; the Mechanical Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET(link is external). Students are exposed to the process of engineering design through 321 Engineering Design, 322 Mechanical Design, 412 Microprocessors for Measurement and Control, or 416 Bioinspired Design, and one additional design elective, which is fulfilled by senior thesis, senior independent work, or senior project.

      + +

      All mechanical engineering students must take:

      + +

      423 Heat Transfer or 335 Fluid Dynamics or 438 Electrochemical Engineering; and 433 Automatic Control Systems.

      + +

      Options within the Mechanical Engineering Program 

      + +

      The dynamics and controls option is recommended for students interested in an emphasis on the study of the motion and control of vehicles and machines.

        + +

        Operations research and financial engineering (link is external)may be considered as the modern form of a liberal education: modern because it is based on science, mathematics, computing and technology, and liberal in the sense that it provides for broad intellectual development and can lead to many different types of careers. By choosing judiciously from courses in engineering, science, mathematics, economics, public policy and liberal arts, each student may design a program adapted to their particular interests.

        + +

        All students start from a common academic core consisting of statistics, probability and stochastic processes, and optimization. Related courses focus on developing computing skills and exposing students to applications in a variety of sectors of the economy such as finance, mobility, logistics, energy, environment, health care, diversity, education and equity. All of these applications involve having humans in the loop and consequently confronting challenges of large data, large dimensions, risk, uncertainty, and the desire for good outcomes, the analytics of which are the focus of ORFE’s academic core. Students augment the core program with a coherent sequence of application-focused departmental electives. Students often draw on courses from economics, computer science, applied mathematics, civil and environmental engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, chemistry, molecular biology, psychology, sociology, and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Requirements for study in the department follow the general requirements for the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the University.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Many real-world problems are tackled using the tools of statistics, probability and optimization. Statistics enables reasoned analysis of data, probability enables the creation of stochastic models that describe the data and its inherent randomness, while optimization enables meaningful decision-making under this quantified uncertainty. Statistics, Probability and Optimization, in that order of analysis, is central to training in ORFE, with applications in:

        + +
        • Data science and machine learning, including deep learning, large-scale optimization, causal inference, biostatistics, policy evaluation, genomics, networks and graphical models, analysis of high-frequency time series and high-dimensional data.
          • +

        + +
        • Decision science, control and learning, including service systems and queues, reinforcement learning, verification and learning of dynamical systems, optimal and stochastic control, robotics and autonomous systems, and large dynamic games.
          • +

        + +
        • Finance and social sciences, including risk management, quantification of model uncertainty, optimal investment, mean field games, optimal contracting, econometrics, causal inference, program evaluation, public policy, decision and choice theory, energy and environmental finance, and reliability management of electricity grids.
          • +

        + +

        The focus on rigorous mathematical theory behind the applications provides ORFE graduates with intellectual flexibility. The emphasis on foundational theory in statistics, probability and optimization gives ORFE majors the versatility to address the challenges of the financial engineering and machine learning revolutions of the 21st century, and prepares them to tackle future societal challenges that involve data-driven decision-making.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The student's program is planned in consultation with the director of undergraduate studies and the student's adviser and requires a year-long thesis or a one-semester senior project. With departmental approval, the exceptional student who wishes to go beyond the science and engineering requirements may select other courses to replace some of the required courses in order to add emphasis in another field of engineering or science, or to choose more courses in the area of study. Suggested plans of study and areas of concentration are available from the director of undergraduate studies.

        + +

        In addition to the engineering school requirements, there are three components to the curriculum:

        + +
        • The core requirements (four courses). These form the intellectual foundation of the field and cover statistics, probability, stochastic processes and optimization, along with more advanced courses in mathematical modeling.
          • +
        • Departmental electives (ten courses). These are courses that either extend and broaden the core, or expose the student to a significant problem area or application closely related to the core program.

        For the final year, AAS offers a certificate in African American Studies for students majoring in another department. Students may apply for formal admission to the certificate program at any time once they have taken and achieved satisfactory standing in any AAS course.  

        + +

        The Program in African American Studies was founded on the assumption that the study of African American history and culture, and of the role that race has played in shaping the life and the institutions of the United States, is central to an American liberal education. Given the continuing and evolving centrality of race in American political, economic, social and cultural life, and indeed, in every region of the world, reflection on race and on the distinctive experiences of Black people is indispensable for all Princeton students as global citizens. Drawing on a core of distinguished faculty in areas such as art and archaeology, comparative literature, English, history, philosophy, law and political science, psychology, religion and sociology, the program promotes teaching and research of race with a focus on the experience of African Americans in the United States.

        + +

        AAS offers an undergraduate certificate that expands and deepens a student's understanding of race in the United States and in the world. Earning a certificate is straightforward and allows students to experience an enriching course of study that complements any Princeton major. Students who opt to pursue a certificate gain access to an extraordinary bibliography that prepares them to think about race and power in sophisticated ways. Students are trained in the methods, themes and ideas that inform interdisciplinary scholarship, with a particular focus on race and racial inequality.

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The goals for student learning are to

        + +
        • build a comprehensive base of knowledge of African-descended peoples in the United States and in the diaspora, and explore how this background facilitates a critical approach to dominant knowledge formations;
          • +
        • understand what interdisciplinary research and analysis entails in an educational context of disciplinary knowledge formation, and explain why interdisciplinarity is essential to the study of African-descended peoples in the United States and in the diaspora;
          • +
        • identify methodologies from the humanities and social sciences that may be applied to one’s area of inquiry, and propose how these methods might be revised or combined to address interdisciplinary research questions;
          • +
        • hone skills in primary-source research, analytical interpretation, critical thinking and ethical reasoning as components of interdisciplinary study in AAS; and
          • +
        • demonstrate these skills through written and verbal communication, with the option of pursuing other means of communication such as performance, media-making and creative writing as they relate to the scholarly mission of AAS.

        Departmental Tracks

        +

        The AAS Program of Study is organized into three thematic subfields.

        + +
        1. African American Culture and Life (AACL): Students encounter the intellectual tradition and cultural practices that inform the emergence and development of African American studies as a field of study in the academy. Focusing on aesthetic repertoires and historical dynamics situated primarily in the United States, students learn how to examine the patterns and practices that have defined and transformed Black people’s lives. Courses in the AACL subfield are typically cross-listed with English, History, Religion, and American Studies.
          2. +
        2. Race and Public Policy (RPP): Students deploy and interrogate social science methodologies to examine the workings of the American state apparatus and other social and political institutions. Fostering critical approaches to empirical research and analysis, students examine the formation and development of racial and ethnic identities in the United States, with a particular focus on different perceptions and measures of inequality. Courses in the RPP subfield are typically cross-listed with the School of Public and International Affairs, Sociology, and Politics.
          3. +
        3. Global Race and Ethnicity (GRE): Students take up comparative methodologies in studying inter- and intraracial group dynamics in a global frame. Comparison yields an understanding of the aesthetic repertoires and historical dynamics of African and African-descended people in the diaspora outside the United States, as well as non-African-descended people of color within the United States. Courses in the GRE subfield are typically cross-listed with Comparative Literature, Art & Archaeology, and African Studies.

This is a writing-intensive seminar with weekly essay assignments. + + R. Goldthree, T. Hunter + +
        + + + +

        + AAS 303 - Topics in Global Race and Ethnicity + (also GHP 313/GSS 406/HUM 347) + + Fall/Spring + HASA + +

        + +
        + This seminar uses the prevailing analytical tools and critical perspectives of African American Studies to consider comparative approaches to groups, broadly defined. Students will examine the intellectual traditions, socio-political contexts, expressive forms, and modes of belonging of people who are understood to share common boundaries/experiences as either (1) Africans and the African Diaspora outside of the United States; and/or (2) non-African-descended people of color within the United States. + + Staff + +
        + + + +

        + AAS 306 - Topics in Race and Public Policy + (also POL 425) + + Fall/Spring + CD + +

        + +
        + This course examines the various pieties of the Black Power Era. We chart the explicit and implicit utopian visions of the politics of the period that, at once, criticized established Black religious institutions and articulated alternative ways of imagining salvation. We also explore the attempt by Black theologians to translate the prophetic Black church tradition into the idiom of Black power. We aim to keep in view the significance of the Black Power era for understanding the changing role and place of Black religion in Black public life. + + E. Glaude + +
        + + + +

        + AAS 325 - African American Autobiography + (also ENG 393/REL 366) + + Not offered this year + LA + +

        + +
        + Highlights the autobiographical tradition of African Americans from the antebellum period to the present as symbolic representations of African American material, social, and intellectual history and as narrative quests of self-development. Students will be introduced to basic methods of literary analysis and criticism, specifically focusing on cultural criticism and psychoanalytic theory on the constructed self. + + Staff + +

        + +
        + An examination of the religious and philosophical roots of prophecy as a form of social criticism in American intellectual and religious history. Particular attention is given to what is called the American Jeremiad, a mode of public exhortation that joins social criticism to spiritual renewal. Michael Walzer, Sacvan Bercovitch, and Edward Said serve as key points of departure in assessing prophetic criticism's insights and limitations. Attention is also given to the role of Black prophetic critics, such as James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr., and Cornel West. + + E. Glaude + +
        + + + +

        + AAS 351 - Law, Social Policy, and African American Women + (also GSS 351) + + Not offered this year + SA + +

        + +
        + Journeying from enslavement and Jim Crow to the post-civil rights era, this course will learn how law and social policy have shaped, constrained, and been resisted by Black women's experience and thought. Using a wide breadth of materials including legal scholarship, social science research, visual arts, and literature, we will also develop an understanding of how property, the body, and the structure and interpretation of domestic relations have been frameworks through which Black female subjectivity in the United States was and is mediated. + + I. Perry + +
        + + + +

        + AAS 353 - African American Literature: Origins to 1910 + (also ENG 352) + + Fall + LA + +

        + +
        + This introductory course traces the emergence of an African American literary tradition, from the late-18th century to the early 20th. In readings, assignments, and discussion we will consider the unique cultural contexts, aesthetic debates, and socio-political forces underpinning African American literary cultural and practice. Over the course of the semester, we will investigate the poetry of Phillis Wheatley and Paul L. Dunbar, the political oratory of Sojourner Truth and David Walker, slave narratives by Frederick Douglass and Harriet Wilson, writing by W.E.B. DuBois, and novels by Frances Harper.

        + + + +

        + AAS 362 - Race and the American Legal Process: Emancipation to the Voting Rights Act + + Not offered this year + SA + +

        + +
        + This course examines the dynamic and often conflicted relationships between African American struggles for inclusion, and the legislative, administrative, and judicial decision-making responding to or rejecting those struggles, from Reconstruction to the passage of the Voting Rights Act. In tracing these relationships we will cover issues such as property, criminal law, suffrage, education, and immigration, with a focus on the following theoretical frameworks: equal protection, due process, civic participation and engagement, and political recognition. + + I. Perry + +
        + + + +

        + AAS 366 - African American History to 1863 + (also HIS 386) + + Not offered this year + HA + +

        + +
        + This course explores African American history from the Atlantic slave trade up to the Civil War. It is centrally concerned with the rise of and overthrow of human bondage and how they shaped the modern world. Africans were central to the largest and most profitable forced migration in world history. They shaped new identities and influenced the contours of American politics, law, economics, culture, and society. The course considers the diversity of experiences in this formative period of nation-making. Race, class, gender, region, religion, labor, and resistance animate important themes in the course. AAS Subfield: AACL + + T. Hunter + +
        + + + +

        + AAS 368 - Topics in African American Religion + (also REL 368) + + Not offered this year + LA + +

        + + + +

        + AAS 372 - Postblack - Contemporary African American Art + (also AMS 372/ART 374) + + Not offered this year + CDLA + +

        + +
        + As articulated by Thelma Golden, postblack refers to the work of African American artists who emerged in the 1990s with ambitious, irreverent, and sassy work. Postblack suggests the emergence of a generation of artists removed from the long tradition of Black affirmation of the Harlem Renaissance, Black empowerment of the Black Arts movement, and identity politics of the 1980s and early 90s. This seminar involves critical and theoretical readings on multiculturalism, race, identity, and contemporary art, and will provide an opportunity for a deep engagement with the work of African American artists of the past decade.

        + Apartheid, the political doctrine of separation of races in South Africa (1948-1990), dominated the (South) African political discourse in the second half of the 20th century. While it lasted, art and visual cultures were marshaled in the defense and contestation of its ideologies. Since the end of Apartheid, artists, filmmakers, dramatists, and scholars continue to reexamine the legacies of Apartheid, and the social, philosophical, and political conditions of non-racialized South Africa. Course readings examine issues of race, nationalism and politics, art and visual culture, and social memory in South Africa. AAS Subfield: GRE + + C. Okeke-Agulu + +

        The Program in American Studies(link is external), administered by the Effron Center for the Study of America, is an interdisciplinary plan of study that prepares students to make intellectual connections in the world through the experiences and place of America in current and historical times. Encompassing a wide range of fields, areas and disciplines, and grounded in the histories and experiences of the diverse peoples and cultures that make up the United States of America, the program explores different conceptual framings of America and the role of the United States in local, global and transnational relationships. By asking a broad range of research questions and engaging with diverse scholarly methods and theories, the program encourages new understandings of issues that profoundly affect contemporary life and scholarship, including questions of migration, diaspora and borders; indigeneity and colonization; globalization, empire and war; capital and culture; language, race and ethnicity; religion; slavery and racialization; gender and sexuality; and ecology and technology.

        There has never been a better time to be a mathematician. The combination of mathematics and computer modeling has transformed science and engineering and is changing the nature of research in the biological sciences, data science and many other areas. Students seeking to pursue an academic program with a strong focus on applied mathematics may major in mathematics with a course of study geared toward applications, or may major in the sciences or engineering and enroll in the certificate Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics(link is external) (PACM).

        + +

        Requirements for a major in the Department of Mathematics are a minimum of eight upper-level courses in mathematics or applied mathematics, including four basic courses on real analysis, complex analysis, algebra and geometry or topology. It is possible to design a course of undergraduate study aimed more specifically toward applications. Applied and computational mathematics faculty have developed core courses in applied mathematics where the emphasis is on computational methods and mathematical modeling. The latter is central to applied mathematics where it is not only necessary to acquire mathematical techniques and skills, but is also important to learn about the application domain.

        + +

        The PACM certificate is designed for students from engineering and from the physical, biological and social sciences who wish to broaden their mathematical and computational skills. It is also an opportunity for mathematically oriented students to discover the challenges presented by applications from the sciences and engineering. Students interested in the undergraduate certificate must contact the program's undergraduate representative on or before February 1 of their junior year to discuss their interests, and to lay out a plan for their course selection and research component.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Mathematics is the language of science, and almost every discipline of science and engineering is ultimately founded on mathematics. At the same time, state-of-the-art computational methods are enabling the study of increasingly complex systems. The aim of the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics certificate is to enable students from a broad range of disciplines to develop a stronger mathematical and computational foundation, and to promote dialogue between mathematics and its applications.

        + +

        At the same time, the certificate aims to encourage students whose primary concentration is in pure mathematics to explore the impact of mathematics on science, engineering and technology.

        + +

        A core tenet of the PACM certificate is the bilateral interaction between mathematical foundations and applications. A strong background in mathematics and computational methods provides students with powerful tools to address problems that arise in other disciplines, and may lead them to view these from a new perspective. Conversely, challenging mathematical and computational questions that arise in applications strongly motivate the study and development of mathematics. The PACM certificate promotes such interactions:

        + +
        • By requiring all students to take both mathematical foundations and applications courses;
          • +
        • By requiring all students to perform an independent research project that connects mathematics with its applications;
          • +
        • By requiring all students to attend and present their independent work in the certificate seminar, where they are exposed to a broad range of applications of mathematics to different disciplines and have the opportunity to interact with students with applied mathematical interests from many different majors across campus.
          • +

        At the same time, the flexible program is designed to allow each student to tailor their courses and independent work to their own interests, and to make mathematics as accessible as possible for students with diverse interests and backgrounds.

        + +

         

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The requirements for the certificate in applied and computational mathematics consist of:

        + +
        1. A total of five courses, normally 300-level or higher (requires letter grade; pass/D/fail not accepted), at least two of which are not included in the usual requirements for the candidate's major.
          2. +
        2. Independent work consisting of a paper in one of the following formats: (a) a project that you are working on with a professor; or (b) a summer research project. However, the independent work may not be used to satisfy any requirements of your major or of any other minor or certificate. In particular, you may not use your junior paper or senior thesis to satisfy the independent work requirement for the certificate. A significant extension of the senior thesis or of a course project may however be used to satisfy the requirement, subject to approval of the PACM undergraduate representative.
          3. +
        3. Students are required to participate during the spring semester of their junior and senior years in a not-for-credit colloquium offered by PACM. This will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of independent work among all certificate students and will introduce them to a broad range of areas within applied mathematics.
          4. +

        The course requirement may be satisfied by a broad range of courses that place a particular emphasis on applied mathematics, which are offered by the mathematics department as well as the science, engineering and economics departments. The five required courses must be distributed between the following two areas, with at least two from each area: 

        + +
        1. Mathematical foundations and techniques, including differential equations, real and complex analysis, discrete mathematics, probability, numerical methods, etc. 
          2. +
        2. Mathematical applications in diverse areas offered by the applied and computational mathematics program and by science, engineering and economics departments.
          3. +

        An extensive list of advanced undergraduate and some graduate courses that meet the certificate requirements can be found on the program website(link is external).

        + +

        Courses that do not appear on this list may be approved by the PACM undergraduate representative. Specific programs should be tailored in consultation with the PACM undergraduate representative to meet the individual needs and interests of each student.

        + +

        The independent work requirement is typically done under the supervision of a PACM core or affiliated faculty member, but external advisers are regularly accommodated. In the latter case, a second reader from PACM is asked to verify that the paper contains enough applied mathematics to satisfy the certificate requirements. In any case, plans for independent work must be approved by the undergraduate representative.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who fulfill all requirements of the program will receive a certificate of proficiency in applied and computational mathematics upon graduation.

        The Program in Archaeology(link is external) is designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary foundation in archaeology — the study of the material remains of the past — and to equip students to use archaeological evidence in other fields of inquiry. The program offers courses that cover many cultures and periods, including Egypt, the Near East, Greece, Rome and the Americas. It encourages a deep integration of the humanities, the sciences and engineering, and promotes awareness of issues of cultural heritage. 

        + +

        Once subfields of ancient art or ancient history, archaeology today embraces anthropological approaches as well as the physical and social sciences. Technology has transformed the practice of archaeology, with tools such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), geographic information system (GIS), and photogrammetry, offering new insights. Yet archaeology is not just concerned with uncovering and understanding the past; it is also devoted to protecting it. Rampant looting and the destruction of sites have placed archaeologists at the forefront of discussions on cultural heritage. Many of the program courses, therefore, including the required methods course (ART 401), highlight ethical and political dimensions of archaeology.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The learning goals in the Program in Archaeology include the following:

        + +
        • To familiarize students with the primary developments and debates in the history of the field of archaeology, from the use of archaeology as a tool for cultural history, to major changes in archaeological science, to the notion of material culture as “text.”
          • +
        • To introduce students to key theoretical debates, both past and current, to equip them to understand secondary literature so they may position themselves and their research within ongoing discussions.
          • +
        • To offer or facilitate opportunities for students to engage in archaeological fieldwork.
          • +
        • To engage students with the ethical implications involved in the gathering and assessment of archaeological evidence in its many different sociopolitical contexts (ancient and modern).
          • +
        • To train students to critically interpret the finds from archaeological sites, including assessment of archaeological methods, awareness of the implications of how findings are disseminated, and consideration of project goals and presumptions.
          • +
        • To introduce students to the various possibilities for preserving and protecting cultural heritage, from legal frameworks to non-invasive remote sensing to community engagement.
          • +
        • +

          To introduce students to the evolving interdisciplinary nature of archaeology, and teach them to develop and adopt a lifelong learning attitude so that they can remain effective in their archaeology-related endeavors and beyond.

          +
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to all majors. Students ideally should apply to the program during their sophomore year, but may join it at any time during their undergraduate career. They may apply through the art and archaeology website, or by writing to the program director.

        + +

        In order to gain admission, a student must have taken any one of the courses offered by the program (see list below). Appropriate freshman seminars or writing seminars may fulfill the requirement, with the program director's approval.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The program aims to provide a broad introduction to the field of archaeology and to allow students to pursue archaeological interests that complement their research in other disciplines. The core course and fieldwork requirements ensure breadth and provide a theoretical and methodological foundation for further study. The remaining courses should be selected in consultation with the program director and students' department advisers, so that students may tailor their study to their other coursework. 

        + +

        The plan of study consists of four elements: one core course, fieldwork or its equivalent, four additional courses, and independent research. One course may be taken pass/D/fail, with the exception of ART 401. Students may double-count up to two courses toward the certificate and their major.

        + +
        1. Students take one core course: ART 401: Introduction to Archaeology.
          2. +
        2. Students participate in fieldwork.
          3. +

        ART 304: Archaeology in the Field or its equivalent

        + +

        “Fieldwork” is not limited to excavation, although the program strongly encourages participation in a formal field school program. Sustained engagement in any aspect of an archaeological project fulfills the obligation. Students may, for example, assist in a geophysical survey, participate in a surface survey, work in archaeological archives, or intern for a zoologist. Fieldwork must be preapproved by the program director, last for at least four weeks, and include at least 100 hours of work. Financial support for fieldwork is available; to be immediately eligible, students must either be enrolled in the Program in Archaeology, or have taken at least two courses that count toward the certificate. Students who are not immediately eligible might be awarded financial support upon completion of an interview with the program director.

        + +
        1. Students take an additional four courses. Two courses must be approved as being in ancient area, at least one of which must be offered in the Department of Art and Archaeology in the ancient area (the “Group 1” for the history of art majors). Two other courses may or may not qualify as being ancient area, and at least one course must be outside of the Department of Art and Archaeology (see the list below). Approved freshman seminars may count toward the four courses. A freshman seminar taught by a faculty member in the Department of Art and Archaeology may not count for the required course outside of the department. 
          2. +
        2. Students undertake independent research, which may take one of three forms: (1) a senior thesis with a substantial archaeological component; (2) a junior paper on an archaeological topic; (3) a 25-page research paper on an archaeological topic. 
          3. +

        Only senior theses are eligible for the Frederick Barnard White Prize in Archaeology.

        + +

         

        +
        +
        +

        Language Requirements

        +

        The acquisition of languages that may assist in research (e.g., German or French) or in fieldwork is strongly recommended, but not required.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        The fieldwork requirement offers an ideal opportunity for students to participate in summer study abroad, and the executive committee can recommend many summer study opportunities. 

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who complete the requirements of the program with satisfactory standing receive a certificate of proficiency in archaeology.

        + +

        + +

        The Program in Architecture and Engineering(link is external) facilitates certificate studies from any student and is designed to support the full range of engineering and architectural cross-disciplinary interests. This program is a framework for interdisciplinary study to tackle problems that cannot be addressed by one discipline. Completion of the certificate program provides an opportunity to respond dynamically to evolving global challenges, where elegant and effective solutions lead to more resilient and sustainable communities.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in Architecture and Engineering enables students to work at the intersection of engineering and architecture. It is a framework for interdisciplinary study to tackle problems that cannot be addressed by one discipline. The certificate program is an opportunity to explore new educational and research trajectories. 

        + +

        The specific learning goals include the following:

        + +
        • Identify and confront new societal challenges for designing more resilient and sustainable communities.
          • +
        • Gain knowledge of the fundamental principles of both engineering and architecture, and explore the ways in which these principles interact.
          • +
        • Develop skills in critical thinking as related to developing solutions for global challenges that benefit from an interdisciplinary approach.
          • +
        • Build relationships with classmates across disciplines, learn to work collaboratively in studio spaces.
          • +
        • Draw upon the tools and knowledge gained in the classroom to build a foundation upon which the senior thesis (or other research) experience is designed.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The Program in Architecture and Engineering(link is external) is open to all undergraduate students, regardless of discipline. A student planning to enroll in the program should consult with one of the co-directors of the program, who will assign a special adviser to help plan a curriculum. 

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        In addition to course requirements, the student must identify a global challenge theme, and incorporate the theme into the senior thesis as described below.

        + +
        • Identify a Global Challenge Theme: The solutions to modern societal challenges can be elegant, as well as effective. Together, architects and engineers must take the lead in confronting new societal challenges for designing more resilient and sustainable communities.
          • +
        • Incorporate Theme in Senior Thesis: The senior thesis should address a cross-disciplinary theme relevant to a global challenge. The student should also contribute to a thesis colloquium. The subject should be reviewed and approved by the co-directors.
          • +

        Course Requirements

        + +

        A total of six courses are required to obtain the certificate. No more than two courses from the six may double- count toward both major and certificate. All courses combined should illustrate a coherent program of study that addresses a global theme or challenge. See the list of preapproved courses below.   

        + +

        The following two design courses are required for all students:

        + +
        • ARC 203 Introduction to Architectural Thinking
          • +
        • ARC 204 Introduction to Architectural Design (Studio Class) or ARC 205 Interdisciplinary Design Studio
          • +

        One course is required within a "field of expertise" chosen by the student:

        + +
        • Structures: CEE 262 (A or B) Structures and the Urban Environment
          • +
        • Computation: ARC 311 Building Science and Tech: Building Systems, or alternative approved by co-directors
          • +
        • Environment: ENE202 Designing Sustainable Systems
          • +

        Note: With approval of the committee, the student may construct their own “field of expertise” that demonstrates a coherent program of study addressing a global challenge theme.

        + +

        Three additional courses are selected from a list of approved electives in each field of expertise. The preapproved courses within each field of expertise are listed below:

        Cognitive Science(link is external) is the interdisciplinary study of how the mind works, drawing on research from psychology, philosophy, linguistics, neuroscience and computer science. The interdisciplinary character of cognitive science is reflected in its reliance on many different levels of analysis of mental phenomena and its employment of a variety of methodologies appropriate to each level. The goal of cognitive science is to integrate the insights from multiple disciplines and modes of research into a unified scientific account of the mind and its place in nature. Research in cognitive science includes, but is not limited to, work on psychophysics, perception, linguistics and language processing, philosophy of mind and language, cognitive development, memory, reasoning, emotion, moral and social cognition, and judgment and decision making. One ambition of cognitive science is to understand just how mental abilities and processes are realized in the brain, and how such neural realizations can ground the conscious, deliberate activity of thought and decision. Another is to map out just how the human mind develops from childhood on, and thereby articulate the deep mechanisms of learning and cognitive development. A third ambition is to investigate just how far mental processes can be duplicated in complex computational structures that could be instantiated in machines.

        + +

         

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Students who complete the program are expected to achieve the following learning goals: develop an ability to recognize and apply cognitive science concepts and methodologies across diverse kinds of minds and across levels of analysis; develop an ability to evaluate evidence and arguments regarding claims about diverse kinds of minds, including minds in social, cultural and technological contexts.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program(link is external) is open to undergraduates majoring in any department. Students should meet with the director or program manager, usually during sophomore year, to apply to the program and plan a course of study. Applicants will be accepted based on interest and a coherent, tentative academic plan, including independent study.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students are required to take five courses in cognitive science, which in combination satisfy the following requirements:

        + +
        1. Three courses at the 300 level or higher;
          2. +
        2. Courses taken in at least three different academic units (please note that this restriction applies only to a course's primary course listing, not to additional cross-listings);
          3. +
        3. Typically no more than one course with a primary course listing from the student's major, unless permission is obtained from the director;
          4. +
        4. At least one course that is not counted toward the student's departmental major;
          5. +
        5. At most, one course may be taken pass/D/fail.
          6. +

        Students are also required to complete a thesis or a semester of junior independent work that incorporates substantial elements of cognitive science. This independent work should be interdisciplinary, and it should incorporate methods or ideas from at least one core discipline of cognitive science, such as cognitive psychology, a relevant aspect of philosophy (e.g., mind, language, knowledge, science), a relevant aspect of computer science (e.g., artificial intelligence, natural language processing), cognitive neuroscience and/or linguistics. However, methods or ideas from other disciplines are also welcome: students can come from disciplines as diverse as music, architecture, comparative literature and beyond, as long as their independent work incorporates substantial elements of cognitive science as specified above. 

        + +

        Students are encouraged to develop the cognitive science elements of their independent work in consultation with their independent work adviser(s). The work may be used to satisfy both the requirements of the program and the student's major. Students who are unable to incorporate cognitive science into their departmental independent work should consult the director or program manager to discuss alternative means of satisfying this requirement.

        + +

        The Program in Cognitive Science(link is external) sponsors a lunchtime talk series with speakers from the Princeton cognitive science community, as well as from outside Princeton. Students are strongly encouraged to attend these talks. If scheduling permits, certificate students who are completing independent work in cognitive science may volunteer to give a talk themselves, in consultation with the director.

        + +

        Cognitive Science and Related Courses

        + +

        These courses(link is external) will count toward the program requirements. Other cognitive science–related courses, including graduate courses, may be counted toward certificate completion with the approval of the director.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        A student who fulfills the requirements of the program with satisfactory standing receives a certificate of proficiency in cognitive science upon graduation.

        + +

        The Program in Contemporary European Politics and Society(link is external), an affiliate of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, encourages the interdisciplinary study of modern Europe, with a particular focus on politics, economics and society in western and central Europe since World War I. The program sponsors a core course (EPS 301, 302, or HIS 212/EPS 212). In addition, it sponsors lectures, seminars and other programs for the entire University community. The program offers a certificate in Contemporary European Politics and Society.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The interdisciplinary approach to the Program in Contemporary European Politics and Society aims to show how the region’s long history and variety of cultural traditions still shape many European responses to modern predicaments. Europe is unique. Social scientists can observe trends that are relevant to the world at large: how regional integration works or does not work; how societies respond to flows of immigration and to globalization; and the character and limits of monetary cooperation. EPS and its affiliate, the European Union Program, offer students who participate in the undergraduate certificate an opportunity to develop a more comprehensive picture of Europe and to interact with a broad range of European cultural and political figures.

        + +

        Throughout their coursework, undergraduate students can design their course of study to meet their interests and fulfill the requirements of the program. Language study is an integral part of the curriculum.

        + +

        Attending the numerous lectures and panel discussions sponsored by the program throughout the academic year is an important aspect of gaining a better understanding of Europe. There is a particular emphasis on covering topics on current events related to politics, economics, and government, among others.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        In order to receive a certificate in contemporary European politics and society, students must meet the following requirements:

        + +
        1. Take one of the following gateway courses: EPS 301, EPS 302, or HIS 212/EPS 212.
          2. +
        2. Take at least four other courses from the list of core courses(link is external) that have an emphasis on European politics and society. Other courses may be approved by the director.
          3. +
        3. Of the four courses, at least one must be chosen from among offerings in history and at least one must be chosen from among offerings in the other social sciences.
          4. +
        4. Fulfill a language requirement by doing one of the following: +
          • Take a 200- or 300-level course in a European language.
            • +
          • Demonstrate fluency in a European language by taking a test administered by the program. Any national language spoken in a European country may be used to satisfy the requirement. The expectation is that students will have sufficient linguistic competence to use research materials in the language for their senior thesis research.
            • +
          5. +
        5. Write a senior thesis on a subject related to contemporary European politics and society. Students majoring in departments where a senior thesis on modern Europe is not possible may petition the director to have another piece of independent research meet this requirement.
          6. +
        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        A student who has met the requirements of the program and of the home department and has maintained satisfactory standing will receive a certificate of proficiency in contemporary European politics and society upon graduation.

        The Program in Engineering Biology (link is external)is designed for those highly motivated students who are interested in pursuing careers or graduate education in the areas of biotechnology or bioengineering. The interface between engineering and the life sciences is an area of dramatic growth and intellectual vigor. Innovations and new developments in this area require multidisciplinary approaches and an interdisciplinary understanding of engineering fundamentals as applied to living systems. For all students, the program offers a basic foundation in the language of living systems as well as an in-depth study of bioengineering fundamentals at multiple length scales.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in Engineering Biology is purposefully designed to integrate the fundamentals of traditional engineering disciplines and modern biology to understand and manipulate living systems at multiple length scales, from the molecular to the cellular, tissue, organismal and ecosystem levels. Living systems have several attributes that distinguish them from nonliving physical systems. Our program trains students to analyze and solve the unique problems encountered by living systems using both an engineering and a biological perspective. The undergraduate certificate Program in Engineering Biology provides a strong foundation in the engineering of living systems.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Generally, any student majoring in the School of Engineering and Applied Science or majoring in chemistry, ecology and evolutionary biology, molecular biology, physics or neuroscience is qualified to participate in the program. All other majors are also welcome to apply.

        + +

        A student planning to enroll in the program should submit an application(link is external). First-year students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to begin planning appropriate course sequences.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        An engineering biology student will normally satisfy both program and departmental requirements. The program will be developed by the student and their departmental adviser in consultation with the special adviser in engineering biology. In some cases, courses taken under the program requirements may be applied toward the fulfillment of regular departmental requirements. The program requirements are as follows:

        + +
        1. One foundational course in molecular and cellular biology (MOL 214 or equivalent course) and one foundational course in computing (COS 126 or equivalent course).
          2. +
        2. Three bioengineering courses, selected from the approved list available on the program website. These courses should provide a coherent training in an area of bioengineering, such as biotechnology, molecular or cellular engineering, neuro-engineering or systems biology. One of these courses must be from outside the student’s major, and at least one of these courses must not count as a departmental.
          3. +
        3. One advanced life science course, selected from the approved list available on the program website. This course should provide additional insight into complex living systems and complement the bioengineering courses chosen by the student.
          4. +
        4. Close collaboration with faculty is expected. Students are required to complete, with the grade of B- or better, at least one semester of independent work in an appropriate area of engineering biology. This independent work is coordinated with the student's department in order to satisfy departmental requirements for the senior thesis or senior independent research.
          5. +

        Program students are expected to demonstrate strong academic performance. To qualify for the engineering biology certificate upon graduation, a minimum grade average of B- in the program courses is required. Program courses may not be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.

        Interdisciplinary areas in physical sciences in engineering such as energy, environment, materials, microelectronics, astronautics and photonics promise to become increasingly relevant in the 21st century. The Program in Engineering Physics, which provides students with a fundamental knowledge of physics, together with problem-solving skills and an understanding of engineering, is designed to address the needs of students seeking innovative careers in today's technological age. In addition, it allows students to keep their options open between physical sciences and engineering. Following completion of the engineering physics program(link is external), students typically enter careers in engineering, applied science or applied physics through research, teaching or entrepreneurial engineering. Past graduates have also pursued other careers as diverse as medicine, business and law.

        + +

        The program(link is external) offers a unique combination of engineering, mathematics and physics. It is directed toward students who have an interest and ability in both engineering and physics. For engineering majors, in addition to courses in those subjects fundamental to the student's field of interest, the program requires completion of courses in quantum mechanics and encourages the study of subjects such as electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, condensed matter physics, mathematical physics, complex analysis and partial differential equations. For physics majors, the program requires courses in areas such as solid-state electronics, fluid mechanics, optics/optoelectronics, control theory, computers and computational methods or a variety of other applied disciplines. Computer science A.B. students are required to meet the technical course requirements needed to satisfy the B.S.E. degree. An engineering physics certificate is awarded upon graduation to students successfully completing the program. Exceptionally outstanding students are awarded the Jeffrey O. Kephart Prize (one per year). The program committee also selects yearly winners of independent work awards, conference travel support and summer fellowships.

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The learning goals for the program differ, depending on whether students are majoring in engineering or physics.   For engineering students, the learning goals are an appreciation of and a facility for mathematical analysis of physical problems. A quantitative understanding of quantum phenomena is also important.   

        + +

        For physics majors, the learning goals are to develop an understanding of physical applications that goes beyond what is taught in the main physics curriculum and to develop an in-depth knowledge of a particular area of engineering. 

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Any student who satisfactorily completes the B.S.E. freshman year program or its equivalent is eligible for admission to the program. Engineering students entering the program are strongly encouraged to complete PHY 203, 208 and MAT 201, 202 or their equivalents by the end of sophomore year.

        + +

        In applying for admission to the program, a student should indicate interest in a particular area of engineering and should be enrolled as a major in one of the six participating engineering departments or in physics. A student planning to enroll in the program should consult the director of the program, who will assign a special adviser to help plan a curriculum.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        An engineering physics major will normally satisfy both program and departmental requirements. The curriculum for each student is worked out by the student and the student's departmental adviser in consultation with the special adviser in engineering physics. In some cases, courses taken under the program requirements may be applied toward the fulfillment of regular departmental requirements. The program requirements are as follows:

        + +
        1. All students must take one upper-level course in mathematics (300- and 400 level).
          2. +
        2. Engineering majors must take a minimum of six advanced courses in physics (which may include the following 200-level courses: PHY 205, 207, 209 and 210), including the quantum mechanics sequence (PHY 208). At least four of the courses must be listed (or cross-listed) in the physics department. In order to accommodate specific student interests, there is particular flexibility with regard to the fifth and sixth courses, which may be a course with strong physics content from other departments such as astrophysical sciences or chemistry but must be approved in advance by the program's committee.Physics majors enrolled in the program must take five engineering courses, chosen in consultation with their adviser. In order to gain exposure to the design-oriented philosophy of engineering, physics students are required to take at least two of their engineering courses in a coherent area of study so that a clear engineering stem can be identified.
          3. +
        3. Close collaboration with faculty is expected. Students are required to complete, with a grade of B- or better, at least one semester of independent work in an appropriate area. Physics students are encouraged to have a professor in engineering serve as a reader of their senior thesis.
          4. +
        4. Program students are expected to demonstrate strong academic performance. To qualify for the engineering physics certificate upon graduation, a minimum grade average of B- in the program courses is required.

        + +

        Entrepreneurship the Princeton Way is defined as follows: You are an entrepreneur any time you pursue societal impact through broadly sustainable value creation.

        + +

        Entrepreneurship is driving enormous social and economic changes that are shaping our collective future. The program has three main aims: to create focused pathways through the curriculum that will allow Princeton undergraduates to supplement work in their major departments with a systematic and coherent understanding of, and practice in, entrepreneurship; to leverage, expand and enhance the University’s offerings across the liberal arts in order to fulfill the previously stated aim; and to promote an interdisciplinary academic community of undergraduate students, faculty members and others who share an interest in and commitment to learning from and contributing to these areas.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Entrepreneurship Certificate Learning Goals

        + +
        • Provide a comprehensive understanding of fundamental concepts, theories and skills necessary for innovating new ways to create value through positive impact on society by starting and running a successful venture, whether it is a for-profit startup, a social-purpose venture or a nonprofit initiative. These include leadership, ideation and identification of opportunities, evaluation of solutions, business planning, financing and marketing.
          • +
        • Introduce students to the broad national entrepreneurial ecosystem through networking and connecting them with experienced entrepreneurs, industry leaders, investors and alumni networks. This is accomplished by having many guest speakers in various classes, as well as extracurricular panels and activities.
          • +
        • Create an experiential learning opportunity by completing the required practicum. This practicum is intended to give students the opportunity to experience value creation in the real world through whatever context is most meaningful to them, whether it is a for-profit startup, a social-purpose venture or a nonprofit initiative. This practicum will give students the opportunity to apply some of the frameworks and concepts they have learned on campus. The practicum is also intended to be a personal journey into the real world of entrepreneurship.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students interested in the program(link is external) will be expected to apply, normally at the end of sophomore year and, in general, no later than the fall of junior year. At the time of application, students must submit a short application form outlining a tentative plan and a timeline for completing all of the requirements of the program. The statement will include an account of the two introductory courses, two core courses and one breadth course (as explained in the Requirements section) that the student proposes to take, and an explanation of how these courses fit into their aspirations for learning and practicing entrepreneurship. Students are encouraged to make a special effort in the application to describe their proposal for the practicum requirement (learning by doing, with a high bar of excellence).

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The certificate program exposes students to different ways of understanding, conceptualizing, and, for some, building enterprises that create value through positive impact on society, whether by a commercial or social venture.  Students will develop necessary skills through a set of practicing courses, such as Venture Capital and Finance of Innovation, Entrepreneurial Leadership, and Designing Ventures to Change the World.  But they will do so while developing a contextual understanding of the social forces at work through courses that might include, for example, History of American Capitalism or Psychology of Decision-Making, and more broadly, by developing an informed understanding of the social and global challenges to which entrepreneurship can seek to contribute.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        • WWS 340 / PS 321 Psychology of Decision Making
          • +

         

        + +

        Requirement 2: One Entrepreneurship Workshop

        + +

        Workshops (without academic course credits) are offered on practical skills involved in the entrepreneurship process, organized as supplements to credit-bearing courses and offered currently at the E-Hub. These are short-term one-off or sessional workshops, normally 3–12 hours in duration, and students will be required to complete at least one of their choice.

        + +

        Requirement 3: Practicum

        + +

        Entrepreneurs, however smart they are and whatever ventures they pursue, are, above all, doers. They apply their ideas and learning to try to create value for their customers, investors, colleagues, themselves, and hopefully our society. They challenge the status quo.

        + +

        This practicum is intended to give students the opportunity to fulfill their version of that endeavor — a significant firsthand practical experience in seeing what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur in whatever context is most meaningful to them. 

        + +

        It is not intended as a theoretical undertaking but a hands-on exposure to the reality of the entrepreneurial odyssey, whether that unfolds in a Silicon Valley–type high-tech setting or a rural village or underserved urban community someplace. Accordingly, the practicum should expose students to key elements of that odyssey, such as customer discovery, design thinking, solution prototyping, team assembly or market validation — efforts that test and refine hypotheses about what’s required to create a financially viable, worthwhile venture.

        + +

        OPTIONS: There are five primary options for the practicum, each designed with the above objectives in mind. Any of these can provide the experiential foundation for the required paper and presentation:

        + +
        1. Entrepreneurial Engagement
          2. +
        2. Startup Launch
          3. +
        3. Solution Development
          4. +
        4. Frontline Insights
          5. +
        5. Wild Card
          6. +

        Students should consult the program website(link is external) for more information about each of the five options.

        + +

        A junior paper, senior thesis or other form of independent coursework does not by itself satisfy the practicum requirement. However, these efforts may facilitate students’ work to design a related experience and analytical agenda that does.

        + +

        Juniors will explain their proposed practicum in the form of a poster presentation at the Keller Center’s Colloquium in the spring semester.

        + +

        Seniors have two final deliverables for their practicum:

        + +
        • a ten-page paper (due two weeks before the colloquium); and
          • +
        • a five-minute formal oral presentation to a group of reviewers at the colloquium itself.
          • +

        Students can expect detailed feedback on their pass-fail “stand and deliver” summary from at least one Keller Center faculty member in addition to their adviser.

        + +

        Requirement 4: Colloquium 

        + +

        Students are required to present their practicum, or a combination of their academic work and practicum, at least twice before graduation.

        + +

        The required sequence is:

        + +

        April/May of junior year: Practicum proposal presented as a poster at the certificate’s annual colloquium.

        + +

        April of senior year: Written analysis presented to evaluation committee no less than two weeks before annual colloquium.

        + +

        April/May of senior year: Oral presentation of practicum at the certificate's annual colloquium.

        + +

        This social event also serves to foster community and conversation among the certificate students. The mentorship of faculty in certain practicing opportunities and of alumni in others will also help to build a greater sense of interaction across the Princeton community of people with entrepreneurial interests.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        A student who fulfills the requirements of the program with satisfactory standing receives a certificate of proficiency in entrepreneurship upon graduation.

        The Program in European Cultural Studies(link is external) (ECS) was established in 1975 on the joint initiative of faculty members in history, comparative literature, romance languages and literatures, politics and architecture, under the leadership of the eminent cultural historian Carl E. Schorske (1915–2015). Its first certificate class graduated in 1979. Now housed on the second floor of Scheide Caldwell House within the Andlinger Center for the Humanities, ECS enjoys the administrative support of the Council of the Humanities. Committed since its founding to encouraging students' engagement at an international level, ECS now also endeavors to situate the study of Europe in broader global contexts.

        + +

        Since its inception, the Program in European Cultural Studies has maintained two central aims: to deepen students’ understanding of European civilization, and to strengthen their command of cultural interpretation through interdisciplinary investigation. ECS brings together students and faculty from a wide range of departments in a common inquiry. Our focus is, broadly stated, the ways in which European societies, past and present, order reality, make sense of life and communicate meaning across a range of disciplines and in a variety of media. In order to frame these wide-ranging intellectual problems in precise, productive and engaging ways, ECS offers innovative, interdisciplinary seminars on topics in European history, literature, art, architecture, music, cinema, theater, politics and philosophy.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in European Cultural Studies certificate provides students with curricular and extracurricular interdisciplinary investigations on European civilization. Core ECS seminars and cross-listed courses with other departments in the humanities and the social sciences cover a wide array of time periods, specific national cases, and topics in European history, literature, art, architecture, music, cinema, theater, politics and philosophy.

        + +

        The key learning goals for an ECS certificate are:

        + +
        • To deepen students’ understanding of European civilization.
          • +
        • To strengthen students’ command of cultural interpretation through interdisciplinary investigation.
          • +
        • To situate the study of Europe in broader global contexts, from early modern colonialism to present-day globalization.
          • +
        • To study the ways in which European societies, past and present, order reality, make sense of life and communicate meaning across a range of disciplines and in a wide variety of media.
          • +
        • To engage critically with current scholarly work on European culture, encouraged by participation in the Faber lectures and Faber lecture colloquiums.
          • +
        • To understand the connection between current cultural production and critical work, encouraged by participation in the Schorske lecture and in junior excursions to cultural events.

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students from a wide variety of majors in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and engineering choose to complete a certificate in European Cultural Studies. ECS courses involve interdisciplinary approaches to the analysis of the products of European culture, from novels, poems, operas, paintings, photographs, films and philosophical treatises, to new media, urban geography and land-use patterns. There are no prerequisites for admission to the ECS certificate program. However, ECS/EPS 301, ECS/EPS 302 and the HUM 216-219 sequence are each recognized as excellent gateway courses that also count toward fulfillment of the ECS certificate program requirements.

        + +

        Students normally apply to join the program by the fall of their junior year. Early majors, latecomers and students with further questions about the certificate are urged to contact Effie Rentzou(link sends email), director, for additional information.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        All students must complete either HUM 216-219 or ECS/EPS 301 or EPS/ECS 302 to fulfill the ECS core course requirement. In addition, they must complete a total of two more elective courses in ECS; these ECS elective courses may be taken at either the 300- or the 400 level. The majority of ECS courses are cross-listed with other departments in the humanities and social sciences.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        The program has three final requirements: the ECS Excursion, ECS Faber Lecture and Colloquium, and ECS Senior Thesis Colloquium.

        + +

        The ECS Excursion requirement and the ECS Faber Lecture and Colloquium requirement are normally completed during junior year. ECS certificate students take part in a full-day ECS excursion to a cultural event or exhibition in New York. Offered in the fall and spring, the ECS excursion typically takes place on a Friday or a Saturday, and always includes a discussion over a group meal. Participation in both parts of the ECS excursion (the cultural event and the mealtime discussion) is required of all ECS certificate students. To complete the ECS Faber Lecture and Colloquium requirement, students attend the ECS Faber lecture, which is given annually by a distinguished visiting scholar. Held in connection with the annual ECS Faber lecture, the ECS Faber Colloquium offers certificate students the opportunity to join in a mealtime discussion with the ECS Faber lecturer. Participation in both parts of the ECS Faber Lecture and Colloquium is required of all ECS certificate students.

        + +

        In their senior year, ECS students participate in the Senior Thesis Colloquium. Although ECS certificate students complete their theses under the direction of their home departments, over the course of the spring term of senior year, all ECS seniors join the ECS director to meet one day a week, over a meal, for discussion of common challenges of research, conceptualization, organization and writing. Each student shares an excerpt from the senior thesis with the group during one of the colloquium's meetings. Senior thesis excerpts are circulated in advance, and active participation in the weekly senior thesis colloquium discussions is required of all ECS seniors. Though most ECS students address European topics in their theses, this is not a requirement of the program. For the purposes of the senior thesis colloquium, certificate students from the sciences or engineering may circulate a paper written for an ECS course in place of an excerpt from the senior thesis.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        We encourage ECS certificate students to pursue significant international experiences over the summers and for a semester or more of an academic year. Many ECS students study abroad and receive credit toward the ECS certificate for courses taken during their time away from Princeton.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        Geological engineering is the application of science to problems involving the Earth, its physical environment, Earth materials and natural resources. Geological engineering problems are increasingly important to humankind, and the well-trained Earth scientist-engineer will be uniquely positioned to solve these problems and find the best ways to use Earth's resources while protecting the environment. For example, the geological engineer is involved with exploration and use of Earth's water, energy and mineral resources, as well as in the acquisition and utilization of the data necessary to shape environmental policy and practice. Princeton's Program in Geological Engineering (link is external)combines studies in engineering and Earth sciences, with focus on applications of geology, geochemistry and geophysics.

        + +

        Depending upon the selection of electives, the program prepares students for graduate study or practice in geology, geochemistry, geophysics, oceanography, water resources, engineering and environmental geology, and civil and environmental engineering. The program is a cooperative effort of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Geosciences, and the program committee is drawn from those departments. The student may be a candidate for either the B.S.E. or the A.B. degree.

        + +

        Students with interests in this interdepartmental approach are encouraged to consult the program director. Further information may be found under the listings of the two departments.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Below are the primary learning goals of the Program in Geological Engineering:

        + +
        • Students will gain knowledge of the Earth environment, natural resources and geological hazards.
          • +
        • Students will learn skills in engineering design, data analysis and problem-solving.
          • +
        • Students will learn how to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specific needs with consideration of geological factors and other social, environmental and economic factors.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Participants in the program will satisfy the degree requirements for their department as well as the course and independent work requirements for the program. A coherent course of study will be developed in conjunction with the program adviser and the director of undergraduate studies and will include geosciences and engineering courses outside the student's department. Specific program requirements are listed below.

        The Program in History and the Practice of Diplomacy (link is external) (HPD) offers undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue concentrated interdisciplinary study of history and diplomacy in concert with internships in the practice of diplomacy and related professions. Successful completion of the program leads to the award of a certificate.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The HPD program attracts students from all disciplines, representing a wide range of departments on campus.  In addition to learning from a variety of qualified courses for the program, participating students will:

        + +
        • Gain knowledge from participating in an internship with government bodies, think tanks, human rights organizations with international focus and other NGOs.
          • +
        • Be introduced to diplomacy, statecraft and international affairs during their internships.
          • +
        • Engage in lectures and workshops to learn from, and discuss, current world events, particularly when HPD hosts outside speakers.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to undergraduates majoring in any department. Students should apply online(link is external), preferably during sophomore year, and seek the advice of the program manager or director to plan a course of study. Applicants will be accepted on the basis of interest and a coherent academic plan.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students enrolling in the program are required to take an introductory course, SPI 315, usually in the spring semester of sophomore year. In exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the director, this course may be taken other than in sophomore year. In addition to its pedagogical purpose, SPI 315 is designed to help create a sense of community among the cohort of students entering the program.

        + +

        Students must additionally take four courses on topics of relevance to the program's focus. Two of these must be in the history department, Near Eastern studies, or East Asian studies, in international, global, diplomatic history, or ancient history, and two in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, politics department, or other departments, on subjects such as grand strategy, international relations, international organizations, international political economy, and other subjects related to war, peace, and global stability.

        + +

        All such courses, to be counted toward fulfilling the program requirements, must be on the preapproved course list(link is external) or approved by the program director. Certificate students who are majoring in history, the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, or politics must take at least eight courses in the respective rosters that do not overlap with the courses designated for the certificate. That is, no more than two courses can count toward both HPD and a major. The program director advises students about other courses of study that may usefully supplement preparations for service in organizations like the State Department and NGOs, which help formulate and implement policies on the world scene.

        + +

        The program also sponsors an intensive archives institute on original research led by a faculty director. Participation is open to all HPD students by additional application.

        + +

        Each student must serve a summer internship, generally during the summer following the sophomore or junior year, with an appropriate government agency or official, international organization (governmental or nongovernmental), or think tank focused on international affairs. The program director advises students in identifying appropriate internships. In consultation with the executive committee, the director gives final approval and provides the funding for those students whose internships are approved as meeting program goals. The number of students supported is limited by the availability of funds. It is assumed that any student who is remunerated for an internship will complete the entirety of the program.

        + +

        The program also fosters the participation of practitioners of diplomacy and other modes of international relations in student learning through visiting professorships, short-term fellowships, workshops, conferences, public lectures, and field trips.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        The Program in Judaic Studies(link is external) provides students the opportunity to explore more than three millennia of Jewish culture, history, religion, thought, politics and literature from the Bible to contemporary Jewish thought and society. A wide variety of courses, lectures, conferences, film series and exhibitions taking advantage of Princeton's rich resources in Judaic studies are offered. There is no "typical" certificate student; we serve students with a wide range of interests and welcome all who are motivated to deepen their knowledge of Judaic studies.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in Judaic Studies provides foundational and advanced undergraduate courses on the study of Jews and Judaism. Judaic studies courses range over the past three thousand years of Jewish experience throughout the globe. Students can learn about these areas of the world and periods of the past from a variety of different perspectives, including textual, historical, philosophical, philological and literary. Students have the opportunity to pursue independent work in a senior thesis written under the direction of a member of the faculty. Students in the Judaic studies program graduate from Princeton with a sense of the depth and the breadth of the study of Jews and Judaism and with the capacity to express themselves on a range of issues in clear and analytic prose.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        In order to receive the certificate, students may choose from the following two options: (1) take a minimum of five courses in Judaic studies, which must include JDS 202 Great Books of the Jewish Tradition and at least one course from the premodern period; or (2) take three courses to include JDS 202 Great Books of the Jewish Tradition and one course from the premodern period, plus write a senior thesis that draws significantly on some aspect of Judaic studies.

        + +

        A sound program of study will involve both historical range (courses in premodern and modern periods) and disciplinary breadth. While a junior paper in the field is not required, students are encouraged to explore the field of Judaic studies in their junior-year independent work. A first-year seminar may count as one of the required courses. Depending on other coursework, Hebrew language and other cognate courses not officially cross-listed with JDS may count toward the requirements with the approval of the program director.

        + +

        Each student's course of study must be approved by the program director. The certificate requirements are compatible with a major in any humanities or social sciences department.

        +
        +
        +

        Language Requirements

        +

        Judaic studies has no specific language requirement apart from what is normally required by the University. However, when appropriate, students are expected to use language skills in their senior thesis research. Students also are strongly urged to develop a competency in Hebrew and may use one advanced (300-level) Hebrew course, if they wish, to fulfill the general course requirements for the certificate.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        The program encourages students to consider studying in Israel, either for a semester or for a summer. Study in Israel provides an excellent opportunity to improve one's knowledge of Hebrew as well as to pursue other topics of interest. There are a number of intensive summer language programs in Hebrew and Yiddish in Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Courses taken abroad, other than elementary language, may count for up to two of the program's required courses.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who fulfill all the requirements of the program will receive a certificate of proficiency in Judaic studies upon graduation.

        Certificate
        +
        + +

        The Program in Language and Culture, administered through the individual language and literature departments, allows majors in any discipline to earn a certificate in language and culture. Certificates can be earned in the Departments of French and Italian(link is external), German(link is external), Near Eastern Studies(link is external), and Spanish and Portuguese(link is external). 

        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to undergraduates in all departments. Students should consult the appropriate director of undergraduate studies by the middle of  sophomore year. Ordinarily, students majoring in language and literature departments, including comparative literature, will be eligible for the certificate in language and culture provided that: (a) the linguistic base for the language and culture certificate is different from the linguistic base of the major; and (b) the work required for the language and culture certificate does not duplicate the requirements of the major. Students pursuing area studies certificates may earn the certificate in language and culture provided that: (a) the courses they elect to satisfy the requirements of the area studies program are different from those they elect to satisfy the requirements of the language and culture certificate program; and (b) they submit a piece of independent work in addition to the independent work that satisfies the requirements of the area studies program and the home department.

        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        Program Requirements

        + +

        Because the length of time required to gain proficiency varies from language to language, the specific level and content of courses required for the certificate may vary from department to department. All language certificate programs will have the following common core:

        + +
        1. The study of language beyond the level required for the completion of the University language requirement.
          2. +
        2. A minimum of three departmental courses in language, linguistics, literature, or culture, excluding courses that do not have a language prerequisite. Language courses above the level required for the completion of the University language requirement may be counted. At the discretion of the certificate-granting department, a student may substitute one cognate course with a substantial language component for one of the three departmental courses.
          3. +
        3. A piece of independent work or equivalent. This requirement can be satisfied in one of several ways, depending on the requirements of the respective departments as well as on the student's major and interest. Students should consult individual department listings for details of this requirement.
          4. +

        (a) A substantial paper growing out of one of the courses taken to fulfill the certificate requirement. This paper will be in addition to the work required in the course; or

        + +

        (b) A substantial paper on a topic agreed upon with an instructor in the department and approved by the program; or

        + +

        (c) With the agreement of the home department and the program, a piece of independent work that will satisfy the requirements of both the home department and the program. For example, a student could write a junior paper or senior thesis based in substantial part on language sources.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        Although not required, it is strongly recommended that students spend some time in the country whose language and culture they are studying. This can be done through an approved study abroad program or through a summer program of work and/or study. The area studies programs in Latin American and Near Eastern studies may be important resources in providing guidance, and students who are earning language certificates in these areas are urged to consult with the director of the relevant program in planning their course of study or work abroad.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who have met all the requirements of the program will receive a certificate of proficiency in the language and culture of the relevant department upon graduation.

        The Program in Latin American Studies(link is external) promotes interdisciplinary study and seeks to foster knowledge of and experience in Latin America.

        + +

        Courses are offered by the Departments of African American Studies, Anthropology, Art and Archaeology, Comparative Literature, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Economics, English, French and Italian (appropriate French courses only), History, Music, Philosophy, Politics, Religion, Sociology, Spanish and Portuguese, the School of Architecture, the School of Engineering, the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, the Program in Latino Studies and the Program in Latin American Studies (PLAS). Through various approaches in the humanities and the social and natural sciences, the program seeks to guide students toward an understanding of Latin American arts, cultures, histories, socioeconomic conditions, politics and natural environments. The student's work is supervised by a departmental adviser and is combined with a departmental program in a regular major.

        + +

        Experience abroad is not required, but PLAS strongly encourages students to travel to and explore Latin America. Funds are available to support student travel to Latin America for research purposes. First- and second-year students are eligible for exploratory research grants, and juniors and seniors can apply for senior thesis research funding.

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Latin America and the Caribbean are extraordinarily diverse areas, encompassing a wide variety of cultures, economies, political traditions, environments and languages. The Program in Latin American Studies brings a global perspective to campus, offering an opportunity to engage one of the world’s most rapidly changing regions. The program is designed to ignite new forms of scholarship, spark dialogue and promote first-hand engagement with leading scholars and creative thinkers. Coursework spans topics and disciplines and sheds new light on multiple facets of the region. The program aims to foster greater knowledge about Latin America and the Caribbean and to explore the contributions of these areas to the global community. 

        + +

        The key learning goals for a certificate in Latin American Studies are: 

        + +
        • To identify some of the main cultural, historical, political, environmental and social complexities of Latin American societies to expand and enrich students' views about the multicultural nature of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean and to emphasize the interactions between Indigenous and introduced cultures and economies in this region.
          • +
        • To compare perspectives, methodologies and theories from multiple disciplines to understand the diversity and specificities of Latin America’s sub-regions and countries.
          • +
        • To critically evaluate Latin America’s position in the Americas and within a larger international context.
          • +
        • To effectively apply interdisciplinary research methodologies and models of inquiry to understand cultural, historical, political, economic, environmental and social processes in Latin America and the Caribbean, including their diasporic communities.
          • +
        • To acquire international experience in Latin America and the Caribbean through travel and fieldwork.
          • +
        • To develop communication skills in Spanish, Portuguese, French and/or other Indigenous languages spoken in the region.
          • +

        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The Program in Latin American Studies offers two tracks of study: Latin American Studies and Brazilian Studies. For satisfactory completion of either program, a student must meet the following requirements:

        + +
        • Completion of the requirements of a departmental major.
          • +
        • Completion of the language requirement in Spanish, Portuguese or French (for students focusing on the French-speaking Caribbean). 
          • +
        • With the program director's permission, a maximum of two courses from study abroad may count toward fulfilling the course requirements.
          • +
        • In agreement with the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, only one course can be used toward both the certificate in the Program in Latin American Studies and a certificate in Spanish or Portuguese.
          • +
        • Students pursuing science studies may fulfill program requirements by taking a number of approved courses in ecology and evolutionary biology and environmental studies.
          • +
        • No course may be taken pass/D/fail or audit for program credit.
          • +

        Latin American Studies Track

        + +

        For students pursuing the Latin American Studies track, satisfactory completion of four courses across several disciplines, and at least one of the following four courses must be a seminar. 

        + +
        • One humanities course cross-listed with LAS or with strong Latin American content
          • +
        • Three courses from any field cross-listed with LAS or with strong Latin American content
          • +

        For students pursuing the Latin American Studies track:

        + +
        • Completion of a senior thesis on a Latin American subject. Normally it should be written under the supervision of a faculty member associated with the program. If this is not the case, students are encouraged to consult a faculty member associated with the program about available sources or professional contacts some time during their junior year. If the senior thesis is not devoted exclusively to a Latin American topic, the director and relevant program faculty will determine its acceptability. Ordinarily, at least half of the thesis content will deal with Latin America, or a substantial portion of the research for the thesis will require proficiency in a language—other than English—spoken in Latin America.
          • +

        Brazilian Studies Track

        + +

        For students pursuing the Brazilian Studies track, satisfactory completion of four courses across several disciplines, and at least one of the following four courses must be a seminar.

        + +
        • One humanities course cross-listed with LAS or with strong Brazilian content
          • +
        • Three courses from any field cross-listed with LAS or with strong Brazilian content
          • +

        For students pursuing the Brazilian Studies track:

        + +
        • Completion of a senior thesis on a Brazilian subject. Normally, it should be written under the supervision of a faculty member associated with the program. If this is not the case, students are encouraged to consult a faculty member associated with the program about available sources or useful professional contacts some time during their junior year. If the senior thesis is not devoted exclusively to a Brazilian topic, the director and relevant program faculty will determine its acceptability. Ordinarily, at least half of the thesis content will deal with Brazil, and a substantial portion of the research for the thesis will be conducted in Portuguese.
          • +

        Students whose thesis cannot be devoted to a Latin American or Brazilian topic may complete the program requirements either by writing a research paper of sufficient complexity and length to substitute for the thesis requirement (the topic should be determined in consultation with the director and relevant program faculty) or by taking an additional approved course.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Upon graduation, students who have met all the program requirements will receive a certificate of proficiency in Latin American studies along with their diploma.

        The Near Eastern Studies (link is external)Program (NESP) provides students across the University the opportunity to study the languages, history, culture and institutions of the Near East and the broader Islamicate world. Its purpose is to enhance a liberal education and to offer additional training for students who plan a career in those areas.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Students who pursue an NESP certificate will:

        + +
        • Learn at least one language from the region.
          • +
        • Learn about the fascinating history of the region.
          • +
        • Use the methodologies of the social sciences to better understand the societies of the Near East and the broader Islamicate world.
          • +
        • Engage in independent research based on primary sources from the Near East and the broader Islamicate world.
          • +
        • Be encouraged to spend time studying in the Near East.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students may enter the program through the departments of anthropology, East Asian studies, economics, history, politics, religion, sociology, or the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Students from other departments who have an interest in Near Eastern studies may enter the program by special arrangements with the director. Students must meet the entrance requirements of the selected department in addition to those of the program. (Near Eastern Studies majors are not eligible to pursue this certificate.)

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The student's plan of study is guided and given coherence by the director of the program, who generally serves as the student’s adviser. In general, students follow the plan of study of their department. A Princeton School of Public and International Affairs student in the program selects the Near East in the Modern World as a field of focus. The requirements of the program are as follows:

        + +

        Language

        + +

        Students who have had no relevant language training must take at least two years of Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi/Urdu, Persian, Swahili or Turkish language as elective courses.

        + +

        History

        + +

        All students will take at least one appropriate historically focused course in the Department of Near Eastern Studies. Students in the Department of History will take at least two such courses.

        + +

        Social Sciences

        + +

        All students will take at least two courses treating the Islamicate world that are chosen from the offerings of the departments of anthropology, Near Eastern studies, politics, religion, and sociology, and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.

        +
        +
        +

        Language Requirements

        +

        Students are encouraged to begin the study of one of the above-named languages as early as possible in order to enable them to continue it beyond the required minimum and, if desired, to use it to meet the language requirement for the A.B. The program also encourages qualified students to enroll in summer language classes.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        Ideally, the student’s junior independent work would have at least a partial focus on the Near East or the broader Islamicate world. Alternatively, with the permission of the program director, the student may write a separate research paper, usually 25–30 pages in length, about a Near East–related subject, beyond the student’s other course requirements.

        + +

        Ideally, the senior thesis is written on a Near Eastern or Islamicate subject under the supervision of a Near Eastern specialist in the appropriate department and the program. Alternatively, with the permission of the program director, the student may write a separate research paper, usually approximately 50 pages, about a Near East–related subject, beyond the student’s other course requirements.

        + +

        Students take the regular senior departmental examination given by their department, except that a portion of it deals with the Islamicate fields studied. These examinations are described in the sections of this catalog for each department.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        The program encourages those pursuing a certificate in NESP to spend time studying in the region. This might involve travel during a University break, a summer language course, or a semester or a full year abroad at a university in the Near East where students engage in intensive study of an appropriate regional language and society. The program has resources to help support students so they can take advantage of these opportunities.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        A student who completes the requirements of the program with satisfactory standing receives a certificate of proficiency in Near Eastern studies.

        +
        + +

        The Certificate Program in Optimization and Quantitative Decision Science (OQDS) is focused on developing quantitative skills for optimal decision-making in complex and uncertain environments. Through this certificate program, students will learn to quantify risk and uncertainty, and to view any complex decision through the lens of mathematical optimization. This outlook will give them a more structured understanding of the decision itself, as they learn to rigorously formulate their constraints, objective functions(s) and the uncertainties involved. It will also lead students to the proper algorithmic tools that are needed to arrive at an optimal decision.

        + +

        The certificate program may be of interest to students in engineering, the sciences and the liberal arts who are interested in analytical thinking and quantitative reasoning for the purpose of decision-making under uncertainty. Emphasis is placed on rigorous modeling and analysis, taking advantage of the vast flow of data and ubiquitous computing power available today.

        + +

        The OQDS certificate program complements the certificate program in applied and computational mathematics, and the minors in statistics and machine learning, computer science, and finance.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The OQDS program requires one core course in optimization, one core course in uncertainty analysis, three elective courses on applications to quantitative decision-making, and a thesis that demonstrates a command of the core disciplines of uncertainty analysis and/or optimization. Some more specific learning goals for the program are the following:

        + +
        1. Ability to model any real-world complex decision-making process as a mathematical optimization problem by formulating appropriate decision variables, constraints and objective function.
          2. +
        2. Ability to quantify uncertainty and risk using the tools of probability theory.
          3. +
        3. Ability to incorporate uncertainty into formulation of optimization problems with modeling paradigms such as robust optimization, stochastic optimization, chance constraints, etc.
          4. +
        4. Ability to formulate multistage or dynamic optimization problems that capture the effects of uncertainty changing through time.
          5. +
        5. Ability to recognize tractable and intractable optimization problems.
          6. +
        6. Ability to formulate relaxations of intractable optimization problems to compute efficient lower or upper bounds on the optimal value.
          7. +
        7. Ability to use appropriate optimization software and analyze the output.
          8. +
        8. Familiarity with basic algorithms in optimization theory and their relative merits.
          9. +
        9. Ability to go directly from data to optimal decisions, e.g., by learning uncertainty sets or distributions from data as input to robust/stochastic optimization problems.
          10. +
        10. Ability to design numerical experiments that test the benefits of quantitative decision-making in real-world scenarios.
          11. +
        11. Ability to formulate the simplest mathematical models that capture the complexities of our societal challenges (e.g., privacy, fairness, diversity, etc.), and to draw policy insights from these models.
          12. +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The OQDS certificate program is open to both B.S.E. and A.B. students. B.S.E. students are required to take math through Math 201 and 202, which will satisfy the math prerequisites of any of the core courses. However, there is flexibility in the choice of core courses, and the math prerequisites depend on the electives that a student chooses. For A.B. students, it is their responsibility to take the necessary prerequisites for their program of study; students are encouraged to take Math 202 (and preferably Math 201) prior to the certificate program's core course requirements.

        + +

        To be admitted, interested students should email the director of the program at oqds@princeton.edu(link sends email). The email should state the student's request to participate in the program, and should include the following information: the student's class year, major, and whether the student has placed out of any course requirements.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The program for each student is worked out by the student and the departmental adviser. The OQDS certificate program does not have a GPA requirement and students may elect to take one requirement on a pass/fail grading basis. Certificate program students may double-count no more than two courses for both their major and the certificate. The program allows double-counting with other certificate programs, but it is the student’s responsibility to check the double-counting constraints of the other certificate program(s) of interest. The program requirements are as follows:

        + +

        Course Requirements

        + +

        All students must take five courses from the following three areas:

        + +
        1. One core course in optimization
          2. +
        2. One core course in uncertainty analysis
          3. +
        3. Three elective courses on applications to quantitative decision-making
          4. +

        Students may choose to take more than one course from category (1) or (2) and count the additional course(s) toward category (3) as long as they take at least one course from category (3).

        + +

        For the most current course requirements, please refer to the program website(link is external).

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        A senior thesis or project must be completed and submitted to the program director (oqds@princeton.edu(link sends email)) that demonstrates a command of some portion of the core disciplines of uncertainty analysis and/or optimization. Students in engineering departments that require a one-semester project can typically use a suitably designed project to satisfy the requirement.

        + +

        Acceptable theses can be on a wide range of topics, but they must demonstrate a command of the core disciplines of the OQDS certificate program, including stochastics and/or optimization. The thesis must demonstrate, in appropriate mathematics, the ability to model a problem and perform analysis that leads to some conclusion or scientific result. A thesis with minimal or no mathematical modeling is not acceptable.

        + +

        Theses that are not allowed include "soft" topics such as the history of a nation’s economy, and hard-science theses (laboratory-based theses) that do not have a significant modeling or data-analysis component (for example, collecting observations and computing basic statistics is not sufficient).

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who fulfill the requirements of the program receive a certificate of proficiency in Optimization and Quantitative Decision Science upon graduation.

        +
        +

        Unraveling the origins of life on Earth and determining whether life exists beyond Earth will likely be two of the most significant scientific discoveries in the 21st century. The Program in Planets and Life (link is external)is an interdepartmental, multidisciplinary plan of study designed for students interested in these two questions. The goal is to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental astrophysical, chemical, biological and geological principles and engineering challenges that will guide our search for life in extreme environments on Earth and on other planets and satellites in the solar system and among neighboring planetary systems. Research on and teaching of these topics are typically performed under the rubric of astrobiology.

        + +

        The program will equip participating students with the skills they will require to assume leadership roles in discovering the origins of terrestrial and extraterrestrial life over the next decades. The cooperating departments from which the Program in Planets and Life draws faculty and other resources include astrophysics, chemistry, ecology and evolutionary biology, geosciences, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and operations research and financial engineering, as well as the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.

        Through the core course of the planets and life program, students learn the fundamentals of astronomy, with special focus on planetary science, stellar astrophysics, extrasolar planets and extraterrestrial life. Our core and cognate courses cover a wide variety of associated topics. Students will become critical readers of mainstream media and refereed scientific publications. Participants are given the opportunity to carry out scientific research that is broadly connected to astrobiology. During their work on their junior thesis or the required chapter of their senior thesis, students apply scientific methods to their interest of choice.  Some of our course offerings are hands-on, giving  students the opportunity to study the cosmos with astronomical equipment provided by the Department of Astrophysical Sciences. The program supports a holistic approach to astrobiology, with topics including physics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, and even philosophy. Students participate in the annual Planets and Life Colloquium, where senior students present their work and stimulate scientific discussions.

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The Program in Planets and Life is open to all A.B. and B.S.E. students. Interested students would normally take AST 255/CHM 255/GEO 255 in their sophomore year.

        Program of Study

        +

        The following requirements are in addition to those of a student's major. By appropriate choice of courses, a student may satisfy the program and major requirements as well as University distribution requirements. For the certificate, core course and cognate courses may not be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.

        + +
        1. Students must take the core course GEO 255/AST 255/EEB 255/CHM 255. This course will qualify for departmental credit if the student submits a 25-page term paper on astrobiology, with the emphasis in that department's discipline.
          2. +
        2. Students must take an additional four cognate courses. Only two of the cognate courses can be in the student's major or be requirements of their majors (though exceptions can be considered on a case-by-case basis). The cognate courses must be approved by the program chairperson, and students are encouraged to discuss their choices in the early stages of their planning.
          3. +
        3. To qualify for the certificate, A.B. students must (a) write at least one of the junior papers on an astrobiology topic and, as part of the senior thesis, (b) devote a chapter to an astrobiology topic — both of them subject to approval by the program director in consultation with executive committee members. Engineering students must devote one chapter of their senior independent work to an astrobiology topic — again subject to approval by the program chairperson in consultation with executive committee members. The relevant content of the student's senior thesis or senior independent work will be presented at a special Planets and Life Symposium at the end of senior year. Juniors are also encouraged to participate in this yearly Planets and Life Symposium.
          4. +

        Sample Cognate Courses. Courses in addition to those listed below may also be considered by the committee. To reiterate, while the list provides examples, other courses can be considered to fulfill the certificate requirements, subject to review by the Executive Committee.

        + +

        The Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology is offered by the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and its affiliated departments. The program is designed to instruct students in the theory and practice of using big data sets to achieve a quantitative understanding of complex biological processes. 

        + +

        Examples of ongoing research include organizational principles of metabolic networks, quantitative modeling of cell biological processes, the genetic basis of complex behavior, comparative genomics of regulatory networks, quantitative analysis of gene-environment interactions, evolution of gene regulation, and circuitry driving aging. 

        + +

        At the core of the curriculum is independent research initiated in the fall of sophomore or junior year, in which students participate in the design, execution and analysis of experiments in a host laboratory of their choice. The required courses provide a strong background in modern methodologies in data analysis, interpretation and modeling. A certificate in quantitative and computational biology is awarded to students who successfully complete the program requirements.

        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics(link is external) (LSI) awards the certificate in Quantitative and Computational Biology to undergraduate students who satisfactorily complete a multidisciplinary curriculum and relevant independent work. Through its prerequisite courses, students learn fundamental principles in the natural sciences and tools of computer science, mathematics and statistics, with a strong emphasis on creative application of many of those basic concepts to novel questions in the life sciences. Intermediate-level electives taught by LSI faculty introduce students to theories and practices that use big data sets to quantitatively understand complex biological processes. Students are encouraged to dive into interdisciplinary literature on genomics and systems biology, and to engage with expertise and ideas from a variety of backgrounds in order to hone their research questions. At the core of the curriculum is independent research initiated in the fall of sophomore or junior year, in which students participate in the design, execution and analysis of experiments in a host laboratory of their choice. High-level electives expose students to an even greater range of contemporary methodologies in data analysis, interpretation and modeling across biophysics, molecular biology and biochemistry. Successful completion of the certificate requirements prepares students well for careers in industries related to the life sciences, and propels curious minds into relevant academic fields.

        + +
        + This interdisciplinary course provides a broad overview of computational and experimental approaches to decipher genomes and characterize molecular systems. We focus on methods for analyzing "omics" data, such as genome and protein sequences, gene expression, proteomics and molecular interaction networks. We cover algorithms used in computational biology, key statistical concepts (e.g., basic probability distributions, significance testing, multiple testing correction, performance evaluation), and machine learning methods which have been applied to biological problems (e.g., classification techniques, hidden Markov models, clustering). + + J.

        + +

        The Program in Robotics and Intelligent Systems(link is external) is designed for undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing careers or graduate education in three general areas:

        + +
        1. The analysis, design and development of systems that automate manufacturing, transportation, health care, environmental stewardship, scientific research and other activities;
          2. +
        2. The creation of systems for learning, adaptation, decision-making, identification, estimation and control using concepts drawn from cognitive and biological sciences; and
          3. +
        3. The understanding of human intelligence from the perspective of neuroscience and computation.
          4. +

        New industries and organizations depend increasingly on the interplay between engineering, computing and the life sciences. Innovations and inventions require multidisciplinary approaches and entrepreneurship, as well as grounding in theory and practice, in topics that may not be covered by a single department. The program offers an integrated set of core and elective courses, introducing students to fundamental concepts, providing depth in specific fields of interest and setting the stage for further achievement. Students are encouraged to expand their experience through summer internships with companies, government agencies and university laboratories.

        The future of societies, the global economy and the global environment depend on collaborative research into renewable energy, alternative fuels, advanced energy conversion and storage systems, technology transfer to developing countries and prudent judgment on policies to support sustainable energy technology. Innovations and inventions require multidisciplinary approaches and entrepreneurship, as well as grounding in theory and practice, in topics that are not covered by a single department. The Program in Sustainable Energy offers an integrated set of core and elective courses, introducing students to fundamental concepts, providing depth in specific fields of interest, gaining laboratory and site visit experiences and setting the stage for further work in the field. Students are encouraged to expand their experience through summer internships with companies, government agencies, national and university laboratories and Princeton faculty.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in Sustainable Energy provides students who are interested in pursuing careers or graduate education in sustainable energy science and technology with the opportunity to:

        + +
        • Gain an understanding of current energy resources, carriers, end users, technologies, and their impact on climate and the environment. 
          • +
        • Develop the ability to analyze, design and develop innovative energy systems and technologies that support sustainable economic growth, energy security, biological diversity and environmental harmony for life on Earth.
          • +
        • Expand their knowledge of Earth, global climate and the environment from a variety of perspectives, including engineering, technology, economics and public policy.
          • +
        • Acquire critical skills in conducting research in both coursework and a final independent research project in sustainable energy.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors who have a satisfactory background in engineering and science. Normally, students should have successfully completed MAT 103, MAT 104, PHY 103, and PHY 104 (or their equivalents, including AP equivalents). Students who have slightly different preparation should consult with the program director to discuss eligibility. Students planning to earn the program certificate should complete the online student profile at the program website as early as possible, but no later than the midpoint of the fall term of their junior year. Application for admission is made to the program committee. Upon acceptance to the program, the program director will recommend a program adviser to the student to assist in planning a program of study, research and off-campus internship.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students in this certificate program must satisfy both program and departmental requirements. The program requirements are as follows:

        + +

        1. All students must take six courses, including two core courses and four elective courses. The two core courses must be taken by choosing one from the Introduction to Energy Technology category (A1) and the other one from the Introduction to Climate Change and Geo-environmental Science category (A2), respectively. Depending on the student's interest and background, the four elective courses should be taken from categories B1 and B2, with at least one from a different category (for example: three courses from B1 and one course from B2, or vice versa, or two from each category). If a listed course is not offered, students should consult the program director for an alternative course. However, students are encouraged to plan ahead as certain courses are offered only in the spring or fall semester. To qualify for the certificate, a minimum grade average of B- in the six program courses, and an independent work project or senior thesis, are required. In some cases, an elective course that fulfills a certificate program requirement can also meet a regular departmental requirement. If a student is enrolled in more than one certificate program, there may be no more than three overlapping courses between the Sustainable Energy program and any other program.

        + +

        Core Courses (one from each category — A1 and A2):

        + +

        Consult the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment (ACEE) website(link is external) for the current list of approved courses.

        + +
        • A1. Introduction to Energy Technology
          • +
        • A2. Introduction to Climate Change and Geo-environmental Science
          • +

        Elective Courses (four courses with at least one from a different subject area — B1 and B2):

        + +

        Consult the ACEE website(link is external) for the current list of approved courses.

        + +
        • B1. Energy Science and Technology (Fossil energy, non-fossil and renewable energy, energy conversion, and storage systems and technologies)
          • +
        • B2. Environmental Science and Geoscience (Earth science, climate, environment, ecosystems, policy and economic assessments of carbon capture and storage technology)
          • +

        2. A senior independent work project or thesis whose topic is relevant to the program and acceptable to the program committee must be completed. The project or thesis title and abstract need to be presented to and approved by the program director. In addition, a minimum grade of B- for the project or thesis is required to qualify for the certificate. Students are required to present their project/thesis to faculty and program students at an annual symposium held in the spring.

        + +

        3. Close collaboration with faculty is expected. Program students are expected to demonstrate strong academic performance. Program courses may not be taken on a pass/D/fail basis unless that is the only grading alternative for the course.

        + +

        4. For program enrollment, students must fill out the student profile form on the program website. It is especially important to assure that requirements for the certificate will be met by the end of senior year.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who fulfill all program requirements will receive a certificate of proficiency in sustainable energy upon graduation.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Information

        +

        Seminars on Energy and the Environment

        + +

        Seminars on energy and the environment are announced to all students registered in this program. Advanced students are encouraged to attend regularly scheduled departmental and Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and High Meadows Environmental Institute seminars to further enrich their understanding of the field.

        + +

        Undergraduate Independent Research Projects

        + +

        Undergraduate projects usually are undertaken for independent work or senior thesis credit, and opportunities exist for summer and work-study projects. These projects typically last for one or two academic terms, although they may extend over greater periods of time. Students work closely with faculty and staff members in academic departments and University-associated laboratories such as the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), and they have access to sophisticated computers and experimental facilities while conducting their independent research.

        + +

        Undergraduate Off-Campus Experiences and Internships

        + +

        Students are encouraged to expand their experience through site visits and through summer internships with companies, government agencies, national and university laboratories (e.g., PPPL) and Princeton faculty. The energy-technology core course provides several on-campus site visit experiences to power generation stations, a fusion laboratory and energy research labs on campus. Students should consult the University's permitted travel policy before considering any travel. In addition, courses may not include site visits, depending upon current federal, state and University policies.

        + +

        The Program in Teacher Preparation (link is external)(link is external) is an interdepartmental course of study for undergraduates and is composed of a unique combination of coursework and clinical experiences in schools at every level of the program. Graduate students and alumni are eligible to complete it.

        + +

        The program, approved by the New Jersey Department of Education and by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, allows students to explore education as a career choice and provides the option to become fully prepared and certified to teach successfully at the middle and secondary levels within the regular framework of a Princeton A.B. or B.S.E.

        + +

        Upon successful completion of the program’s content course requirements and four of the program’s professional courses (PSY 307, TPP 301, TPP 403 and TPP 404), students receive a certificate in teacher preparation from the University. It is possible to earn the University certificate without being recommended to the State for licensure.

        + +

        To be eligible for New Jersey’s initial state license for teaching in public schools, the Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing, students must return after graduation to complete a semester of full-time student teaching (TPP 405 and TPP 406) and meet the performance levels and additional requirements described below. Participants can earn New Jersey teaching certification in art, biology, chemistry, Earth science, English, English as a second language, mathematics, music, physics, social studies and world languages. The New Jersey teaching license is transferable to other states through reciprocity agreements. Independent schools, as a rule, do not require certification in order to secure a teaching position. However, independent school directors have become increasingly interested in teacher candidates who are fully prepared and certified within a liberal arts curriculum.

        + +

        In accordance with Title II federal regulations for reporting pass rates on teacher licensing examinations, the Program in Teacher Preparation historically reports a 100 percent pass rate on all required licensure tests.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Classroom teaching requires a broad range of knowledge, skills and professional dispositions in order to foster the success of all learners. The program supports its students in attaining the following learning goals which reflect current national and state standards for teaching. Students in the program will:

        + +
        • Understand how learners grow and develop, recognizing the need to address individual needs across cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional and physical domains.
          • +
        • Understand individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive and equitable learning environments to enable all learners to meet high standards.
          • +
        • Create learning environments that support individual and collaborative learning, positive social interaction, active engagement and self-motivation.

          • +
        • Act in accordance with legal and ethical responsibilities and use integrity and fairness to promote the success of all learners.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students are encouraged to apply during the first year or sophomore year to allow adequate time for scheduling required courses, but applications are also accepted from juniors and seniors, graduate students and alumni. Admission is based on academic standing, evidence of interest in teaching, personal interview, a letter of recommendation, ability to satisfactorily complete the State Oath of Allegiance/Verification of Accuracy form and the successful completion of the Introductory Practicum. Students must have a 2.75 GPA for undergraduate coursework at the time of admission and complete the program with a 3.0 GPA. Students must also satisfy the New Jersey Basic Skills Requirement by passing an approved assessment or demonstrating a score on the SAT, ACT or GRE above the established cut score for the year the exam was taken.

        + +

        Please note that requirements are subject to change, pending regulations approved by the New Jersey State Department of Education. Students should consult the Teacher Prep Handbook(link is external)(link is external) for the most current requirements and information.

        Program of Study

        +

        General Education Requirements

        + +

        In order to become well-rounded educators, program students are required to demonstrate proficiency in a variety of academic disciplines within the liberal arts and sciences curriculum. A course is required in each of the following areas: fine arts, humanities, mathematics, science and social science. Courses taken to fulfill the University distribution requirements will cover all of these areas except for fine arts.

        + +

        Teaching Area Requirements

        + +

        Teaching area requirements normally correspond to departmental major requirements. With careful choice of elective courses it is possible to be certified to teach in one field while majoring in another. A minimum of eight courses related to the area of certification are required, with three of the eight courses at the advanced level (300- or 400 level for all areas except mathematics, which requires three courses at the 200 level or above). Specific areas of certification may include additional requirements or prescribed areas of study in the coursework, and students should consult the Teacher Prep Handbook (link is external)for more information.

        + +

        Professional Education Requirements

        + +

        In addition to the general education and teaching area requirements, the professional education sequence includes the following.

        + +
        • Introductory Practicum The practicum consists of participation in three one-hour seminar sessions and 18 observation hours in school settings. Three brief written assignments and selected readings are also required. The Introductory Practicum is designed as a noncredit independent study to accommodate the student's and the instructor's schedules and is considered the final step in the application process.
          • +
        • Educational Psychology (PSY 307) PSY 307 is usually completed during the year prior to practice teaching. The course includes completion of 15 hours of fieldwork in addition to seminar meetings.
          • +
        • Seminar on Student Learning and Methods for Teaching (TPP 301) TPP 301 is usually completed the semester prior to practice teaching. The course includes completion of 22 hours of fieldwork in addition to seminar meetings, and students should block out a full morning each week to accommodate field observations and travel to schools. If a student earns a grade of B- or lower in TPP 301, or if a student earns below a B- on the teaching portion of the course, the program director will review the student’s performance, with the possibility that the student may not be allowed to continue in the program.
          • +
        • Seminar on Instructional Practice and Pedagogy (TPP 403) TPP 403 is designed to intersect and complement TPP 404, Clinical Practice. The course covers four broad themes: The Learner and Learning; Content Knowledge: Planning Instruction and Assessment; Instructional Practice and Pedagogy; and Professional Responsibilities. Major course assignments address these themes through a focus on the research and practice of meeting the needs of students with (dis)abilities. The course is designed to help students connect theory and practice, become self-reflective practitioners, use data from formative and summative assessments to inform instruction and prepare for being in the classroom.
          • +
        • Clinical Practice (TPP 404) TPP 404 is typically taken during the spring of senior year and is taken concurrently with the TPP 403 seminar. TPP 404 is a 12-week, 175-hour assignment as a student teacher in a local middle or high school over the course of the semester, amounting to approximately 20 hours of clinical work per week. Students assume increasing control of instruction with the support of a host teacher over the 12-week period, and the experience culminates with the design and delivery of a small unit of instruction. Assignments include research and summary of the school and classroom context and an analysis and reflection on the unit of instruction taught in the final weeks of the semester. Candidates are placed in local school districts, and while the goals and needs of candidates are taken into consideration, the program cannot guarantee placement in specific schools or districts. While not required, having access to a car provides greater flexibility in placing candidates in schools. Candidates may be required by the district to successfully pass a criminal background check prior to their clinical practice. Candidates are expected to adhere to their host district’s or school’s professional code of conduct, and failure to abide by the code of conduct may jeopardize continued placement. Teacher Prep candidates must earn a minimum grade of B- in Clinical Practice (TPP 404) to continue with Practice Teaching (TPP 406) and to be eligible for the New Jersey initial teaching license. TPP 404 carries two units of course credit, allowing students to satisfy University course count requirements for graduation by taking only TPP 403 and TPP 404 during the spring of their senior year.
          • +
        • Seminar on Education – Theory and Practice (TPP 405) TPP 405 is taken concurrently with Practice Teaching (TPP 406). Students will read and reflect on educational research and reflect on how to best integrate theory and practice in the reality of their school setting and content areas. Students investigate the processes of curriculum development and implementation, develop learning goals and lesson plans, and acquire strategies for measuring student learning by applying both formative and summative assessments. The course assignments and requirements are closely linked to the Practice Teaching experience.
          • +
        • Practice Teaching (TPP 406) TPP 406 is a 12-week assignment in a local middle or high school and is typically completed in the fall semester after graduation. Teacher Prep candidates are placed with an accomplished teacher for the entire school day, five days each week throughout the semester. Candidates assume all teaching responsibilities under the supervision of the mentor teacher and a program staff member who regularly observes and provides feedback on the candidate’s teaching. Teacher Prep candidates must earn a minimum grade of B- in Practice Teaching (TPP 406) to be recommended by the program for the New Jersey Department of Education initial teaching certificate (the Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing). The course carries two units of course credit.
          • +

        Course Load Requirements

        + +

        Due to the number of hours required in schools in addition to other required academic work and meetings, both TPP 404 and TPP 406 carry two units of course credit.  Because of the demands of the TPP 404 student teaching semester, students are expected to take only TPP 403 and TPP 404 with their senior thesis during the spring of their senior year, and the two-course count of TPP 404 allows students to do so while meeting graduation course count and minimum course load requirements.  

        + +

        Students should consult the Teacher Prep Handbook(link is external) for additional detailed explanations of the program’s requirements. 

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        Professional Portfolio Defense

        + +

        The Professional Portfolio is a collection of artifacts and evidence gathered throughout the program, which, along with written reflections, document the student’s progress in their professional skill development and ultimately provide a demonstrated proficiency in the New Jersey Professional Standards for Teachers. The portfolio is evaluated at three checkpoints. The first evaluation occurs at the end of the semester just prior to the beginning of TPP 403 and TPP 404, and the candidate must receive a “Pass” on the portfolio evaluation by their adviser in order to begin Practice Teaching.  A second review by the adviser takes place prior to the start of the TPP 405 and TPP 406 student teaching courses, and a "Pass" is required to continue in those courses. The final review is a formal defense of the portfolio that occurs upon completion of TPP 406. The defense must be successfully completed before the student’s application for certification can be submitted to the New Jersey Department of Education. The portfolio must receive a “Pass” by a majority of reviewers for the program to recommend the student for state licensure. In addition, students will be required to successfully pass a performance assessment and the appropriate Praxis subject area tests in order to earn a New Jersey teaching license.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who fulfill all program content course requirements and four of the program’s professional courses (PSY 307, TPP 301, TPP 403 and TPP 404) will receive the University’s Program in Teacher Preparation certificate upon graduation. Students who wish to pursue professional licensure will also need to take TPP 405 and TPP 406 in the fall term following graduation (see Program of Study section). 

        + +

        State Licensure

        + +

        Students are eligible to be recommended for the State of New Jersey’s Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing, the state’s initial teaching license, by fulfilling all program course requirements (including TPP 405 and TPP 406 taken after graduation) and additionally completing and passing the professional portfolio, the performance assessment and the appropriate Praxis subject area tests. Students seeking certification in World Languages may also be required to take an oral proficiency test.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Information

        +

        Placement

        + +

        The program provides placement services for all Princeton students and alumni seeking teaching and administrative positions in both public and private elementary and secondary schools.

        + +

        Preparation for Independent School Teaching

        + +

        Students not enrolled in the program who are seeking preparation for teaching in independent schools or for work in other areas of education may enroll in PSY 307 or TPP 301 provided space is available. If students want additional preparation and classroom experience, they are urged to consider completing the Teacher Preparation certificate by also taking TPP 403 and TPP 404. Students considering this option should contact the program office and schedule an appointment with a staff member prior to registration.

        + +

        One would be hard-pressed to find any aspect of society today that is not influenced by evolving technology in a significant way. Similarly, technology does not develop in a vacuum; by virtue of its applied nature, it is shaped by the needs and desires of individuals and the societies in which they live. Society and technology co-evolve, so that you cannot fully understand one without knowing something about the other. This cross-disciplinary certificate program is targeted to students, both engineers/scientists and humanists/social scientists, who are interested in exploring this intersection in depth. Graduates who earn this certificate will be effective contributors to the shaping, development and deployment of technological solutions for the benefit of society.

        + +

        The intersection of technology and society is broad, touching on a wide range of technologies and on a variety of societal issues and concerns. To ensure depth, individual programs of study are offered along two technology tracks: Information Technology and Energy.

        + +

        The Information Technology track is offered in partnership between the Keller Center (link is external)and the Center for Information Technology Policy(link is external). Information technology (IT) broadly covers the computation and communication technologies that permeate virtually all aspects of corporate and social activity. The products and services enabled by it have had a major impact on the world economy and on social interactions. As we look to the future, emerging technologies in IT continue to address critical societal challenges such as economic development, health care, politics, education, productivity, government and social organization. At the same time, these technologies raise new challenges in security, law enforcement, privacy, economic stability and justice.

        The Energy track is offered in partnership between the Keller Center(link is external) and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment(link is external). Provision and use of energy and natural resources in a sustainable way is the single biggest challenge for Americans and citizens of the world to preserve the planet for future generations. Our economic and national security as well as our overall ability to thrive as a society depends on living within our resources. Rapid economic and technological growth throughout the world is causing unprecedented demands for energy. Determining how to meet these needs while protecting the environment is one of the most pressing challenges of our times. These problems are complex and intertwined, involving not only a need for advances in science and engineering, but also requiring changes in human behavior, economic analyses and innovations in institutions as well as thoughtful policy.

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in Technology and Society provides students with the opportunity to explore how society and technology co-evolve and to develop the ability to shape, create and deploy technology solutions to benefit society.

        + +

         

        + +

        Learning goals for the Program in Technology and Society: Information Technology Track include the following:

        + +
        • Acquire knowledge on how information technology and society co-evolve. Computation and communication technologies in particular permeate virtually all aspects of today’s world, and therefore shape individuals’ experiences and societies and drive or impede social change. As we look to the future, emerging information technologies continue to address critical societal challenges such as economic development, health care, politics, education, productivity, government and social organization. At the same time, these technologies raise new challenges in security, law enforcement, privacy, economic stability, justice and environmental impact. Individuals, societies and their policies have the power to shape information technology’s development and use.
          • +
        • Develop an understanding of the foundational information technologies that impact individuals and societies, as well as policies that govern their development.
          • +
        • Develop students’ ability to think critically and constructively about the impact of information technologies on individuals and society. Students acquire historical familiarity with the role of information technology in impacting society and can approach reasoning about the capabilities and impact of new information technologies from a variety of perspectives.
          • +
        • Acquire and apply computational and analysis skills in research through coursework. The training culminates in an independent research project focused on exploring the interface between information technology and society.
          • +

         

        + +

        Learning goals for the Program in Technology and Society: Energy Track include the following:

        + +
        • Develop an understanding of the latest energy science and technologies as well as the social, political and economic policies that govern these technologies’ production, use and impact on society and the environment.
          • +
        • Gain knowledge about the technological, economic and social challenges involved in the sustainable provision and use of energy and natural resources.
          • +
        • Learn to analyze and critique energy-related societal and technological issues from a variety of perspectives, both within and outside of students’ home disciplines, including the natural and social sciences, engineering, economics, humanities and public policy.
          • +
        • Acquire and apply critical skills in research through coursework and culminating in an independent research project in energy and society.
          • +

        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The Program in Technology and Society is open to all undergraduate students. Students interested in pursuing the certificate program should complete the enrollment form(link is external) and indicate whether they are interested in the Information Technology track or the Energy track. 

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The program provides a focus on technology (Information Technology or Energy) and society. A gateway course, Technology and Society (EGR/HIS/SOC 277), provides exposure to a broad set of issues at the intersection of technology and society. In addition to this course, students study both the technological and societal aspects of either Information Technology or Energy, to acquire a good understanding of both sides of the issues that come up at this intersection. On the technology side, there is a rich set of courses in IT and Energy areas that have been designed to be accessible to all students on campus (with no or few prerequisites) and that place the technical material in a broader application context. Similarly, on the societal side, technology issues are part of important courses in several departments such as sociology and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Finally, students need to conduct research on a specific issue through a one-term project with a subsequent written component (junior paper/senior thesis) and present their research at a program symposium.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        All students are required to undertake a one-term independent research project in IT or Energy and Society. For A.B. students, this includes a junior paper. This may be substituted by a significant component in their senior thesis (at least a chapter). It is expected that some of these projects/theses will be jointly supervised by faculty members across the University divisions. The project/thesis component requires preapproval from the student's program adviser.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        Program Requirements

        + +

        The following requirements must be satisfied to earn the program certificate: core course, two technology courses, two societal courses, one breadth course, one-term independent research project, present project/thesis to the program students and faculty at an annual symposium held in the spring. Students must select either the Information Technology track or the Energy track and take the technology, societal and breadth courses from the respective list of courses. Pass/D/fail policy: Students may use no more than one course taken on a pass/D/fail basis to satisfy program requirements. Please note: The policy regarding the number of courses that may be used to fulfill requirements of more than one certificate is different for the two tracks. Please consult the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment(link is external) and the Center for Information Technology Policy(link is external) websites for specific information.

        + +

        Core Course

        + +

        Technology and Society (EGR 277/HIS 277/SOC 277). This course provides students with the intellectual tools needed to approach the rest of the program — a "set of lenses" that will help them view the issues being addressed in their work. Ideally, this course will be taken before the other required courses.

        + +

        Technology and Society Courses (four courses)

        + +

        This course requirement is intended to provide an understanding of the technology and societal aspects through a discipline-based study of both sides. 

        + +

        Technology Courses

        + +

        Each student is required to take two technology courses from a list maintained on the program websites. These courses are mostly drawn from a set that includes courses specifically designed for a wider campus audience (with no or few prerequisites). An advanced/one-time-only course may be used to replace one of these courses with the permission of the program adviser.

        + +

        Societal Courses

        + +

        Each student is required to take two societal courses from a list maintained on the program websites. An advanced/one-time-only course may be used to replace one of these courses with the permission of the program adviser.

        + +

        Breadth Course (one course)

        + +

        In addition to the technology and society courses, each student is required to take one course that combines technology and society in an area outside their chosen major. Engineering/science students should take a breadth course based in the societal disciplines, and humanities and social science students should take a breadth course based in the science/technology disciplines. 

        + +

        Students interested in pursuing the Information Technology track should consult the CITP website(link is external) for the current list of approved courses.

        + +

        Students interested in pursuing the Energy track should consult the ACEE website(link is external) for the current list of approved courses.

        + +

        Annual Symposium. Students are required to present their projects/theses to the program students and faculty at an annual symposium held in the spring. This provides a mechanism for shared learning as well as for developing the common themes across the program.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who fulfill the requirements of the program receive a certificate of proficiency in technology and society upon graduation.

        + +

        The Program in Urban Studies(link is external) is an interdepartmental plan of study for undergraduates that offers an interdisciplinary framework for the study of cities, metropolitan regions, and urban and suburban landscapes. With courses in diverse departments including anthropology, architecture, art and archaeology, history, African American studies, English, Latin American studies, Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures, civil and environmental engineering, energy studies, sociology, politics, theater, and the High Meadows Environmental Institute, along with the School of Architecture and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, the program encourages students to think about metropolitan centers in all their complexity as physical spaces; social, cultural, political and economic nexuses; and historical artifacts.

        + +

        In addition, students are advised about opportunities to acquire field experience in urban settings through the Program for Community-Engaged Scholarship (ProCES)(link is external) and other programs. Those students with appropriate background and training are also encouraged to study and conceptualize cities via a comparative, international perspective, using the resources of Princeton's area studies and international programs.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Urban studies is the study of cities across disciplines. The key learning goals for a certificate in urban studies are:

        + +
        • To introduce architectural and urban design issues to build design and critical thinking skills from a multidisciplinary perspective.
          • +
        • To examine the key concepts of urban life, with its concentrated extremes, and how cities throughout history have brokered revolution, transformation and renewal, focusing on class, race, gender, immigration, capitalism and the built environment.
          • +
        • To consider cities as urban spaces, as objects of representation, and as part of cultural identities. To do so, we use an interdisciplinary approach, through literature, history, sociology, art history, architecture, etc.
          • +
        • To offer research methodological opportunities in classwork and through independent work that advance critical thought and the understanding of contemporary urban conditions.
          • +
        • To develop students’ capacity for analysis in multiple settings, including academia, public and private sectors, social organizations and local communities.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The Program in Urban Studies(link is external) is open to all undergraduate students, regardless of discipline. Students apply for admission by filling out the application(link is external) on the urban studies website and arranging an interview with the director of the program. Students are accepted into the program on the basis of interest and a coherent academic plan. Students are asked to propose a tentative course of study in their application.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The requirements for the certificate include two core courses and three electives, as well as engagement with urban studies in the student’s senior thesis research. 

        + +

        Students must take either URB 200 with the approval of the director, an urban-focused elective such as URB 388 in a semester in which URB 200 is not offered. Students must also take a design studio course, either  ARC 205 or ARC 204 (for students planning to major in architecture), to satisfy the core course requirements. Students must pass both required courses with a grade of B or above.

        + +

        In addition to the two core courses, students must complete three electives: one from social sciences; one from the humanities; and one from engineering or the natural sciences. A list of approved electives(link is external) is posted on the website. Courses not on the approved list may be used as electives with the approval of the program director. However, each selected course must contain substantial urban content to fulfill the requirements of the certificate program.

        + +

        As soon as possible after applying for admission to the urban studies undergraduate certificate program, students meet with the program director or urban studies faculty adviser to establish an approved course of study. Every student is strongly encouraged to take the two required courses as soon as possible, although the courses can be taken at any time. The core courses are designed to be accessible to all majors. 

        + +

        These courses must be completed in addition to coursework taken to fulfill the requirements of the student's major, although they may be used to fulfill distribution requirements. Students can double-count one of the three electives toward their major and the certificate which is monitored in TigerHub. To be counted toward the certificate, all courses must be taken for a grade. Course overlap with another certificate program is permitted but dependent upon the other certificate program guidelines.

        + +

        While urban studies students' senior theses are written in their home departments, their work must contain an urban component, approved by the program director. A faculty member from the student's home department serves as the primary adviser and first reader. Students' urban studies advisers selected from the program's associated faculty list(link is external) provide additional consultation and layer of expertise as they write their thesis and think about potentially urban-related careers. The thesis title and abstract must be sent to the program director for final approval.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Students who fulfill the requirements of the program receive a certificate of proficiency in urban studies upon graduation.

        + +

        Africa is the continent where humanity began and where its future will be determined. Princeton’s minor in African Studies provides opportunities to all Princeton students, regardless of major, to learn about the continent. Students will learn a variety of methods, interdisciplinary approaches and perspectives that will enrich them with critical and analytical tools for engaging with Africa. These perspectives will aid them in their studies generally, enhancing skills used across all disciplines. The minor is devoted to the study of the Histories, Cultures, Religions, Literature, Languages, and Arts of Africa. Classes in Africa’s politics, economic life, social history and ecology are offered each semester. The minor also offers classes in Africa’s vibrant art scenes, past and present, where literature, music and art have come to define a new postcolonial African cosmopolitanism. Opportunities to learn Swahili and Twi are offered in the fall and spring on campus and internationally each summer. The Program in African Studies is uniquely situated to teach students ethical approaches to the study of Africa that will serve them well in all areas of study.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +
        • Students gain knowledge of the fundamental principles of research and study as they relate to the African continent and explore how these principles interact with each other across disciplines.
          • +
        • Students develop skills in policy and historical analysis, critical thinking, arts and cultural literacy, and ethical reasoning as applied in the study of Africa and its diaspora.
          • +
        • Students acquire analytical research skills and mastery of interdisciplinary approaches to ideas, theories and issues pertinent to Africa.
          • +
        • Students gain understanding and knowledge of real-world challenges and prospects facing Africa, and its regions and countries, through coursework and experiential learning hosted on the continent, such as the global seminars, international language study and summer internships.
          • +
        • Students develop relationships with an interdisciplinary and international cohort and faculty, and thus acquire the experiential and knowledge-based resources necessary for work and life in Africa, as well as for global outlook and citizenship.
          • +
        • Students acquire cultural diversity awareness and competencies through Africa-focused courses, student-run events and programs organized jointly by the Program in African Studies, Africa World Initiative and African Humanities Colloquium.
          • +
        • Students appreciate the emergence of African Studies out of the continent’s struggle for independence from European imperialism, and the imperative of moving the field away from its colonial and racist roots.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        Students should have at least one core course completed by the spring of their junior year. One 200- or 300-level course administered or cross-listed by the Program in African Studies will serve to fulfill this requirement.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Undergraduates should enroll in the minor for African Studies in the spring of their junior year by contacting the program's manager. Students are asked to submit a letter of intent to the administrator of the Program in African Studies. Once the student is actively enrolled in the minor, they will be scheduled to meet with a member of the African Studies faculty to discuss their future course of study.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Five courses are required for the minor — one core course and four electives. Students are expected to take one course in the humanities, one African language course (Twi, Ge’ez or Swahili) and one course in the social sciences (History, Politics, Sociology or Anthropology).  Any courses cross-listed with the Program in African Studies are preapproved to count toward fulfillment of the minor. Courses not cross-listed with African Studies, but devoting significant course time to issues on the continent, may be submitted for review by the program director for credit.

        + +

        The requirement of African languages can be fulfilled by one semester of an African language on campus or intense study with a summer program (SWA 103K or TWI 103G). Two courses counting toward the student’s major field of concentration may also be counted (or double counted) toward fulfilling the minor in African Studies. All courses for the PAS minor must be taken for a grade, not pass/D/fail.

        + +

        With prior approval from the director of the Program in African Studies, a student may satisfy the requirement of one elective by spending six or more weeks working on a project or with a program on the continent.

        +
        +
        +

        Language Requirements

        +

        One semester of an African language course is required for the minor. The requirement can be fulfilled by one semester of an African language on campus or intense study with a summer program.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        In addition to the coursework, the student will submit a paper dealing with Africa. The student may submit the senior thesis or junior paper or another substantial piece of original research that meets the same standards of relevance to Africa.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        The Program in African Studies Executive Committee will independently review each student’s JP or thesis and full academic record before approving fulfillment of the minor.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        The Program in African Studies strongly encourages students to study in Africa. The Program in African Studies and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies list a number of excellent programs on their websites.

        + +

        The Department of East Asian Studies(link is external) offers a wide range of undergraduate classes at the highest standards of academic, linguistic and cultural competence focused on China, Japan and Korea. It provides an opportunity for students who plan to major in other disciplines to simultaneously pursue a high level of proficiency in one or more East Asian language (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and acquire the basic knowledge about the literature, history and culture of East Asia. The student’s work is supervised by the faculty members of the department, whose work covers East Asian literature, history, film and media, and anthropology. Students are also encouraged to work with other faculty members conducting research in and teaching on East Asia.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The main learning goal of the Chinese language minor is to acquire a solid grasp of the language. There are three components of this overall goal. First, the student will take six language courses, two or more of which must be beyond the second-year level. After taking these courses, students will have the ability to read, write, listen and speak in Chinese. The student is also required to take one or more EAS-prefix course or cognate course related to East Asia, giving a foundation in some aspects of East Asian culture. Finally, the student is required to complete a substantial piece of research (20–25 pages) based at least in part on primary sources in Chinese language. These components ensure that the student not only acquires a high level of language competency but also can apply this competency in original research that is well-informed by an understanding of East Asian culture and history.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to undergraduates in all departments. Students interested in earning a minor are encouraged to apply no earlier than the spring of sophomore year and no later than the spring of junior year. Final application materials, including the written work form, should be filed with the Department of East Asian Studies office by the deadline of one week before Dean's Date in the spring of the student's senior year, at the latest.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        A student majoring in a department other than East Asian studies may earn a language minor in Chinese by completing seven courses, including six language courses (two or more of which must be beyond the second-year level) and at least one EAS or cognate course. An East Asian studies major specializing in Japanese or Korean language may earn a language minor in Chinese, but may not also earn an East Asian studies minor offered by the Program in East Asian Studies. Courses taken on a pass/D/fail basis will not be counted.

        + +

        Students must also complete a substantial piece of research (20–25 pages) based at least in part on Chinese language sources dealing with aspects of East Asia. The topic must be in the humanities or social sciences. The paper could be either an original piece of research or a junior paper or senior thesis. If the paper or senior thesis is written for another department, at least half of the work must be on East Asia.

        + +

        Students placing into language courses beyond the second-year level should plan to satisfy the language course requirements for the minor with higher level courses. If there are no suitable higher level language courses available, students may seek permission from the EAS director of undergraduate studies to substitute some EAS-prefixed and cognate courses for language work.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        The written work requirement can be a paper written exclusively/independently for the language minor, another piece of work (i.e., a senior thesis, junior paper or substantial seminar paper), or a hybrid (i.e., a previous paper that is independently expanded to meet all criteria).

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        Courses taken abroad in summer language programs (i.e., Princeton in Beijing) or over the course of a semester or year at other institutions may count toward minor requirements. Preapproval for any non-Princeton program coursework must be obtained from the EAS director of undergraduate studies.

        +
        +

        Minor
        +
        + +

        A classics minor offers students significant and coherent exposure to an area within the field of classics, which studies the cultures, languages, history, politics and intellectual traditions of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, their contacts with other civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean, resonances in later ages and continued vitality today.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Students will follow a flexible pathway that allows them to learn about a particular aspect of the ancient world and the methods that are used to investigate it, as well as evaluate our knowledge and its contemporary uses.

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        A course with CLA designation, CLG 108, LAT 108 or HUM 216-217.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students can declare any time starting in the spring of sophomore year, but no later than March of junior year to ensure appropriate advising and completion of requirements. Students must contact the Classics DUS to register the minor.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students pursuing a minor in classics choose one of two pathways. These can combine courses taught in the original language and in translation. Each pathway requires the completion of five courses, four of which must be CLA, CLG 108 or above, or LAT 108 or above. The fifth can be a relevant course offered in another department approved by the DUS.

        + +

        In addition, a short (ca. 500 words) reflection paper on how the courses add up to a coherent perspective on the ancient world and its reception is required in the student’s final semester.

        + +

        Pathway 1 Classical Studies with a focal point

        + +

        Focal points include, but are not limited to:

          • +
        • Medicine, Science, and the Body
          • +

        At least one of the four classes taken in the department must be CLA 203 (What Is a Classic?) OR CLA 212 (Classical Mythology). It is also possible to use HUM 216–217 in lieu of this one course requirement.

        + +

        Pathway 2 Ancient History and Material Culture

        + +

        At least two of the four courses taken in the department must include history survey courses:

        Minor
        +
        + +

        Climate science(link is external) is math, physics, chemistry, biology and computer sciences, applied together to understand how Earth's climate works, how it has changed in the past and how it will change in the future. Whether students are interested in policymaking, sustainability, natural hazards, city planning, pollution, geoengineering, natural resources, energy or conservation, a broad and accurate understanding of climate science is required.  The minor in climate science is offered by the Department of Geosciences.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The primary goal of the climate science (CS) minor(link is external) is to provide fundamental climate literacy to students who may not have completed the sequence of math, physics, chemistry, biology and computer science prerequisites for the geoscience major. The goal is to develop a rigorous and accessible curriculum that allows any Princeton student to learn the climate science they need in order to pursue climate science–facing careers and make informed decisions as citizens on a changing planet.

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        There are no prerequisites for the minor. However, some 300-level and above advanced elective courses have their own prerequisites.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students must declare the minor by April 01 of their junior year. Before declaring, students should get their planned coursework approved by the director of minors (DoM) [a member of the undergraduate work committee (UWC), chaired by the director of undergraduate studies (DUS)].

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students start with 3–4 core classes. These core courses are taught every year and represent a comprehensive climate science curriculum designed to be accessible to non-STEM majors.

        + +

        After finishing 3–4 courses in the core curriculum, students choose 1–2 capstone electives. These capstone electives are designed to build on knowledge gained from the core courses and focus deeper attention on specific aspects of climate science. For students who have completed the prerequisites, there also is a collection of climate-related advanced electives that they can substitute for core or capstone courses with permission of the DoM.

        + +

        In practice, only GEO courses are accepted for the minor, so there are no relevant restrictions on double-counting courses with the student’s major. A geosciences major is not permitted to minor in climate science.

        + +

        No other, non-credit-bearing work is required.

        +
        + +

        This minor is available to students in the Classes of 2025 and beyond. Please note that the requirements for the minor program are the same for A.B. and B.S.E. students. Students in the Class of 2024 earning the certificate in Applications of Computing should consult the archived Undergraduate Announcement for a list of program requirements.

        + +

        The Computer Science Minor(link is external) is designed for students who want to combine the study of computing and computers with another academic discipline. The program welcomes students not only from areas that traditionally make heavy use of computation (such as engineering, the natural sciences and mathematics) but also from newer and emerging application areas (such as neuroscience, digital humanities, technology policy, music, visual arts, economics, linguistics and philosophy). Many students find this program an effective way to apply computer science to their own specialties, and to understand how computation and technology are transforming our world.

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The minor program is open to all undergraduates of the Class of 2025 and beyond (except those majoring in computer science). Students are admitted to the program after they have declared their major and successfully completed both COS 126 and either COS 217 or COS 226.   

        + +

        Enrollment in the computer science minor will begin in the spring of 2024. Please refer to the Computer Science Minor(link is external) website for additional details. To enroll in the program, students must use the COS minor portal, which can be found on the website.

        Program of Study

        +

        Students are required to take a total of five computer science courses, as detailed below:

        + +
        • Core: COS 126 (or ISC 231–234 or ECE 115) and either COS 217 or COS 226.
          • +
        • Electives: Three additional Princeton COS course at the 200-, 300-, or 400-level, except IW courses (COS 397, 398, 497 and 498). This includes courses cross-listed in COS, regardless of the home department. It excludes graduate courses and courses taken at other institutions. If a student takes both COS 217 and COS 226, then one of them may count as an elective.
          • +

        If a student places out of COS 126 (via the COS placement officer(link is external)), an additional elective must be taken so that the total number of COS courses is five.

        + +

        If a student receives a grade of D or F in a course, that course will not count toward satisfying the program requirements. Students may use at most one course taken on a pass/D/fail basis to satisfy the program requirements.

        + +

        Students may use at most two courses to simultaneously satisfy requirements for this program and their major.

        + +

        + +

        The Program in Creative Writing(link is external), part of the Lewis Center for the Arts, (link is external) with a minor in creative writing, like our present certificate students, will encounter a rigorous framework of courses. These courses are designed, first and foremost, to teach the students how to read like a writer, thoughtfully, artistically, curiously, with an open mind attuned to the nuances of any human situation. This skill is not only for students who plan to be professional writers, but most important, this is a skill we believe to be crucial for all students. The many courses offered by the creative writing department teach students how to structure a narrative and write it well; how to use lived experience in the compressed linguistic construct of a poem so that it provides a meaningful experience for a reader; how to think about, and undertake, the translation of a literary work into another literary work in another language; how to write and adapt literary narratives for a variety of screen media.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        • The Art of Reading

        + +

        A sophisticated reader of literature is one who reads with a discerning but not judgmental mind. Teaching the art of reading to our students is one of the most effective ways to prepare them to navigate a murky, complex and increasingly more contentious world.

        + +

        • The Art of Writing

        + +

        Whether the students work in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction or screenwriting, our goal is to teach students to write clearly and dynamically, to communicate complex ideas, and to distill experience into arts.

        + +

        • The Art of Exploration

        + +

        We encourage our students to expand their horizons by learning new approaches and trying new genres, whether a poet trying out digital storytelling, or a prose writer creating a novel in verse. We encourage our students to bring their writings out to the world and to bring the world into their writing.

        + +

        • Public Service and Global Citizenship

        + +

        A writer in today’s world is not a hermit writing from the top of a tower. Our minor program aims to promote the values inherent in the University’s unofficial motto, “In the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity,” to draw from the model of Toni Morrison, and to cultivate a younger generation of writers who will be engaging with the public thoughtfully and meaningfully.

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        For the minor program, our goal is to guide students through a course of study that begins with introductory courses, and then combines courses at advanced levels with cross-listed and approved courses offered by other units. The minor in creative writing includes a total of five courses, three of which must be housed in creative writing, and two which may be cross-listed with creative writing. To be eligible to apply for the minor, students must have taken the five courses as described below by the end of their junior year. Senior year is focused on development of students' independent work.

        + +

        As an example of a pathway through the minor, students typically enroll in two to three 200-level courses during their first and second years at Princeton. These include intro to fiction writing, intro to poetry, intro to translation and intro to screenwriting. Students who have taken two 200-level courses are allowed to register for 300- and 400-level courses, including advanced fiction writing, advanced poetry writing, advanced translation and advanced screenwriting.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        In the spring semester of junior year, students apply to be admitted to the creative writing program for independent work during their senior year.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students admitted to the minor program will have one year of one-on-one thesis work with an established poet or prose writer. This independent work includes weekly or biweekly conferences with the thesis advisers for two semesters. Under the direction of the thesis advisers, the students will produce a full-length collection of poetry, a collection of short stories or a finished novel manuscript. Each final thesis is read by another writer, who provides a thoughtful and detailed commentary, which gives a snapshot of the student’s career and offers future direction. This independent thesis work has long been a treasured tradition of the creative writing program, and we believe that the conversion to the minor program will more accurately reflect the amount of work both the students and the advisers have put in during their senior year. Apart from independent work, the students will also participate in two public readings — a reading of their work-in-progress with their peers alongside a published writer, and a thesis reading, a celebration of their final theses. An unofficial monthly lunch meeting for the thesis cohort, directed by an appointed faculty member, will serve as a support group.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The Program in Dance (link is external)(link is external), part of the Lewis Center for the Arts(link is external) (link is external), welcomes all students to engage and experiment with dance. At the core of the program is the belief that dance fosters an integration of mind and body that allows for a greater connection to ourselves and our communities. To that end, the dance minor offers students deep exposure to and appreciation of dance through practice, performance and critical conversation.

        + +


        +The dance minor is open to students of all backgrounds and areas of training and seeks to provide a depth, diversity and flexibility of offerings to nurture beginners and challenge pre-professionals in their areas of interest. The curriculum emphasizes expansive, rigorous training and the creation of original works of choreography, performance and academic analysis. Students have the opportunity to undertake demanding courses with professional choreographers, dancers, interdisciplinary artists and scholars. The program supports multiple performance opportunities each year in the Roger S. Berlind Theatre and the Hearst Dance Theater, with choreography by faculty, guests and student independent work.

        + +

        We focus on movement, the body, dance and choreography as primary sites for exploration and as ways of knowing and experiencing. Courses include: comparative approaches to training in modern and contemporary dance, hip-hop, ballet, diasporic African dance and improvisational forms; repertory workshops that expose students to significant works from the choreographic canon and emerging choreographers; interdisciplinary and collaborative courses centered on embodiment, pedagogy and choreographic research; and a range of seminars exploring diverse topics in dance studies. The Program in Dance provides additional co-curricular opportunities that include drop-in classes in hip-hop and ballet, and guest choreographer workshops in multiple genres that culminate in Princeton Dance Festival performances. The Caroline Hearst Choreographer-in-Residence program provides resources for professional choreographers to develop their work on campus and performance opportunities to expose students to diverse creative practices. Princeton Arts Fellows and visiting artists enhance program offerings through performances, choreographing original work, or teaching courses, workshops and seminars.

        + +

        The Program in Dance encourages in-depth collaboration with its staff, including a music director and a stellar group of accompanists, who support and create with students. Most classes integrate live music, and student projects frequently feature original, live music, often coordinated with the music department. Students also benefit from engagement with professional costume and lighting designers and the support of staff in the areas of costume, scenery, lighting and stage management.

        + +

        The dance minor offers students vast exposure to and appreciation of dance through practice, performance and critical conversation. Many DAN courses are cross-listed with other departments and programs, including: gender and sexuality, African American studies, anthropology, visual arts, theater, music, American studies and urban studies. These courses allow students to include research in dance into their junior and senior departmental work. For example, many African American studies, anthropology, comparative literature, studio art, and art and archeology majors have woven dance scholarship and choreographic research into the focus of their departmental thesis work.

        + +


        +Dance also provides access to students from diverse fields of study, as our courses fulfill several distribution requirements including: Literature and the Arts (LA), Epistemology and Cognition (EC), Ethical Thought and Moral Values (EM), Social Analysis (SA), Historical Analysis (HA) and Culture and Difference (CD). The field of dance interacts with a wide range of disciplines, and the dance minor supports all other fields of study by providing students with increased expertise in creative processes and production; strengthened capacities for reflection, taking risks and asking questions; improved artistry in analysis and research; as well as a greater understanding of methods of collaboration and community-building.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        ●  Through learning to sense, reflect and activate new ways of moving, students will increase self-awareness and develop a greater connection to themselves and to their communities.

        + +

        ● Through physical practice and theorizing, creative experimentation and improvisation, students will discover how new movement patterns engage new thought patterns and vice versa.

        + +

        ● Students will learn to see and analyze the choreography of people in motion for its meaning and content in dance, culture, society and daily life.

        + +

        ● Through the study of dance and movement, students will gain physical ways of knowing that enhance bodily cognition to act with greater commitment, expression and creativity.

        + +

        ● Students will gain knowledge of dance in its historical, cultural, social and political contexts to develop critical thinking, analytical skills and research practices.

        + +

        ● Through learning models of inclusive collaboration, students will integrate diverse perceptions and experiences to work toward common goals in performance and creative projects.

        + +

        ● Students will learn choreographic methodologies and tools to support risk-taking and problem-solving, to develop an artistic practice that gives form to their curiosity and synthesizes their experience.

        + +

        ● Through performance, students have the opportunity to hone their unique voices, share the culmination of knowledge gained, crystallize a sense of self and enhance self-confidence.

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        There are pathways for all students regardless of previous exposure to and experience in dance. Students interested in pursuing a minor in dance should enroll in a minimum of two DAN courses in their first and second years.

        + +

        Students taking their first dance class or expanding their experience in new directions are encouraged to participate in two 200-level courses, such as DAN 213 Introduction to Contemporary Dance; DAN 222 Introduction to Hip-Hop Dance; DAN 225 Introduction to Breaking: Deciphering Its Power; DAN 211 The American Experience and Dance Practices of the African Diaspora; DAN 221 Stillness; or DAN 208 Body and Language.

        + +

        For those entering Princeton with previous dance experience performing and choreographing, we recommend  participation in 300- or 400-level courses, such as Dance Performance Workshop courses (319, 320 or 419) in the fall and a spring studio course, such as DAN 432 Ballet as an Evolving Form, DAN 408 Approaches to Contemporary Dance (or DAN 401, 402, 431), as these provide prospective minors with rigorous, in-depth study of specific forms and methods.

        + +

        A student could focus their minor on dance studies, in which case the prospective minor should take two seminars in dance or performance studies such as DAN 321 Moving Modernisms; DAN 215 Dance Across Cultures; DAN 203 Black Performance Theory; or DAN 354 Performance as Art.

        + +

        First- and second-year students are also encouraged to get involved in performing through the Guest Choreographer Program for Princeton Dance Festival, dancing with senior independent choreographic projects, taking co-curricular classes and supporting productions in a nonperforming capacity.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students should enroll in the minor program during the second term of sophomore year, but no later than the start of the first term of junior year. We recommend that students complete at least two of the required courses before enrollment in the minor program.

        + +

        To enroll in the dance minor, students submit an online application that details the courses they have taken, the performances they have participated in, whether they have completed their student show support requirements, and a plan for when and how they will fulfill the remaining requirements. Students hoping to pursue independent work in performance or choreography must also apply separately in the spring of their junior year and meet the specific requirements for respective independent work.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        A minor from the Program in Dance will be awarded to students who successfully complete a substantial amount of work in the artistic, creative and academic areas of the discipline:

        + +

        1. Complete five DAN courses, including:

        + +
        •   at least one studio course
          • +
        •   at least one seminar course in dance studies, for example: DAN 215, 321 or another research-based scholarly course with approval of the director of dance.
          • +

        The range of required courses allows for students to focus their studies on performance, choreography, dance scholarship, or to create an interdisciplinary focus. Independent work is not required to receive a minor in dance. Students interested in pursuing independent research in their senior year must meet specific course requirements, and the substitution of requirements, if necessary, will be made with the approval of the director of dance.

        2. Support one dance program production in a nonperforming capacity
        +All students planning to earn the minor in dance must complete the show support requirement (formerly referred to as “tech hours”) by supporting one dance program show in a nonperforming capacity. Students who will propose an independent choreographic or performance project during their senior year must have completed the show support requirement by the end of their junior year. Through supporting dance program shows, students will get to know the dance program’s students and staff, our venues and our practices, and will be better prepared for independent projects.

        + +

        3. Optional independent work in choreography or performance
        +The Program in Dance offers minors the opportunity to apply to conduct Independent Work in Performance or Choreography under the supervision of its faculty. Performance projects involve commissions from emerging choreographers, or the staging of existing repertory. With permission of the student’s major department, such projects may also be part of a student’s departmental thesis work. For example, an anthropology major chose as her thesis subject Sri Lankan dance; a comparative literature thesis explored links between poetry and dance theories; and other students have looked at dance from the viewpoints of computer science, activism, mathematics, neuroscience, and music.

        + +

        Choreographic projects involve the creation of process-based dance works that encompass a broad definition of dance and choreography. All performances take place in the spring semester of senior year in the flexible environment of the Hearst Dance Theater.

        + +

        To qualify for an independent choreographic or performance project, students must meet the following requirements:

        + +
        • Four of the student's five courses must be studio courses: two must be fall performance courses: DAN 319, 320, 419 or 420, and one must be a spring studio course, for example: DAN 401, 402, 408, 431 or 432 (the fifth course would then have to satisfy the above-listed seminar course).
          • +
        • Two additional performances with a guest choreographer, in a dance-based Atelier, or in a senior independent project.
          • +
        • Students must participate in 20 co-curricular classes over four years or an additional studio course, including introductory courses.
          • +
        • Students must take DAN 317 Choreography. To be eligible for DAN 317, students must have taken at least two choreography courses, such as DAN 319A, DAN 320A, DAN 419A, or other choreography courses with approval of the director.
          • +
        • Studio (which can count as one of the four required studio courses).

        + DAN 209 - Introduction to Movement and Dance + (also MTD 209/THR 209) + + LA + +

        + +
        + Movement permeates every aspect of life, whether within our bodies, minds, or the world around us. In this studio course open to everyone, we use tools from Laban Movement Analysis to develop ways to dance, improvise, make performance, and fully inhabit our lives. We dive into the roles of dancer, choreographer, audience member, and critic in relation to aesthetic questions, politics, identity, religion, and complex views of the human body. Students can apply our work together to dance in any style as well as to daily experiences like moving into an interview confidently and finding embodied practices for transforming stress. + + A.

        + +

        The Program in East Asian Studies(link is external) is an interdepartmental center directed by representatives of the cooperating departments — Anthropology, Art and Archaeology, Comparative Literature, East Asian Studies, Economics, History, Music, Politics, Religion, and Sociology — as well as the School of Public and International Affairs. It is designed to educate internationally minded students with basic competence in East Asia. The program provides an opportunity for students who plan to major in other disciplines to simultaneously pursue the study of East Asian language arts, history and other disciplines. East Asia is defined as those areas where Chinese, Korean, or Japanese is the dominant language, although courses and independent research in Vietnam may also be included as an area of study. The student's work is supervised by the appropriate representative of a cooperating department in consultation with the East Asian Studies program director. 

        + +

        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program's East Asian Studies minor(link is external) aims to enhance understanding of language, culture, society and politics in East Asia. It encourages an interdisciplinary approach that will enable students to gain a deeper understanding of this dynamic region of the world. By connecting the study of the humanities, social sciences, arts and engineering with language study in Chinese, Japanese or Korean, students will be better prepared to understand East Asia in regional and comparative perspectives. Furthermore, students will highlight their knowledge and comprehension in an independent research project. Students are encouraged to explore regions including but also beyond the focus of their language study to gain a deeper understanding of national and transnational connections in East Asia. 

        + +

         

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Any Princeton University undergraduate student who is not majoring in East Asian Studies is eligible for the East Asian Studies minor. Students seeking to earn the East Asian Studies minor may also earn a Chinese, Japanese or Korean Language and Culture minor, but may not double count course credits and independent work toward both minors. Courses being counted for a major or another minor cannot be counted for the East Asian Studies minor, but with consultation, their independent work can be counted, although revision may be required.

        + +


        +Students can declare their minor no earlier than the second semester of sophomore year and no later than the second semester of junior year.
        + 

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students must complete seven one-term courses in East Asian Studies to earn an East Asian Studies minor. At least two of these must be language courses at the second-year level or higher; no more than four of the seven courses may be language courses. Applicable language (CHI, JPN, and KOR) courses and content courses from the Department of East Asian Studies (EAS) are listed in the Department of East Asian Studies courses section in this UA Announcement. Completion of at least one 200-level East Asian Studies content course is required. All content and language courses cross-listed in the EAS Department can be applied for the minor. Cognate courses not cross-listed in the EAS Department that have more than half of their content about East Asia can also be applied for the minor. Examples include SOC 307/SPI308 Contemporary China, POL 434 The Political Economy of China, and SPI 316 China’s Foreign Relations. Additional courses, including those taken abroad, may count toward the minor, but they must be approved in advance by the program office.

        + +


        +In addition to the coursework, the student will submit a paper dealing with an area of East Asia, for which the use of East Asian language sources is strongly recommended. The student may submit the senior thesis or junior paper or substitute another substantial piece of original research that meets the same standards of relevance to East Asia.

        + +


        +Students pursuing the East Asian Studies minor are encouraged to take advantage of the numerous opportunities for study or travel in Asia, including intensive summer language programs. Students contemplating an intervening year of study should aim to complete at least two years of study in the relevant language and should consult with the program director.
        + 

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        In addition to the coursework, a paper analyzing an area or aspect of East Asia, for which the use of some East Asian language sources is strongly recommended, must be submitted. A student may submit the senior thesis or junior paper or substitute another substantial piece of original research that meets the same standards of relevance to East Asia. Essays, book reports or papers submitted to satisfy course requirements are not acceptable. A length of approximately 20 or more pages is expected. The program director must approve the proposed substitution.

        + +

        A student who has met these requirements will receive a minor in East Asian Studies.
        +

        + +

        In the Department of English, students are trained to read critically and to attend to the imbricated histories of language, literature, culture and power. Students read widely across genres and periods of British, American and Anglophone literature as well as across a variety of critical and theoretical approaches. In addition to lectures and seminars devoted to poetry, prose and drama, English offers courses on cinema, photography, architecture, the public essay, and data and culture, among other media and topics. We encourage students to think across disciplines and languages, and we offer vital skills and resources that support independent research.

        + +

        An English minor serves Princeton undergraduates from all majors, sharpening thinking and writing in ways that support work in their respective concentrations. English courses foreground language, style and rhetoric; they train students’ attention to effective writing as well as to a variety of analytical, critical and interpretive modes. In English courses, students pay close attention to the structures of arguments, to specific aspects of language and expression, to the history of literature in English, and to the cultural and grammatical aspects of the language. English courses also foreground the historical operations of language and power, affording students invaluable resources not only for addressing the inequities and disparities that shape our world but also for imagining the futures that can reinvent that world.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Courses in the Department of English enable students to develop crucial transferable skills, including:

        + +
        • Analytical, critical and interpretive skills — students develop these faculties through close attention to the structures of arguments, specific aspects of language and expression, and conceptual synthesis.
          • +
        • Excellent writing — students develop the ability to communicate in clear, efficient and elegant prose, and to write deliberately with a specific audience in mind.
          • +
        • The ability to read closely and carefully, to attend to historical, rhetorical and grammatical aspects of English.
          • +
        • Attention to translation — many students work with texts in other languages, comparing them with their English translations, to comprehend how English relates, stylistically and historically, to materials in other languages.
          • +
        • Research skills that will enrich and improve these reading and writing skills — for instance, students acquire tools and methods for archival research, to understand the history of books and book production, how to read data and various modes of expression and interpretation, and the histories of aesthetics and literary criticism.
          • +
        • The ability to understand, engage and assess relevant critical work (secondary sources that comprise the discipline or interdisciplinary fields like American studies, African American studies, Asian American studies, etc.).
          • +
        • The exercise of these skills with an understanding of historical developments of English-language literatures, demonstrating an ability to situate a text, movement or style in relation to broader aspects of period or genre.
          • +
        • The exercise of these skills with an understanding of how particular English-language literatures and theories address, and are implicated in, historical operations of power and empire.
          • +
        • The ability to propose a subject for sustained research, analysis or critical interpretation, and to see the project to effective completion.
          • +
        • The ability to recognize, use and assess a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives.
          • +

        In sum: students develop the ability to compose thoughtful, cogent, compelling and deliberate analytical writing, supported by careful consideration of evidence and informed by a comprehensive understanding of how language is implicated in questions of history, culture, aesthetic value and power.

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        There are no specific prerequisite courses for the minor in English, but prospective minors are encouraged to take at least one course in English during their first or second year.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The Department of English will hold an “open enrollment” period every spring for prospective minors. While students are encouraged to declare in their sophomore year, to take advantage of departmental guidance and the potential “clusters” curated by faculty, they may declare a minor any time before the beginning of their junior spring. A student might join the minor after that, but only with the support of the DUS and their residential college dean, and after having a detailed conversation about advising and guidelines.

        + +

        English courses taken prior to the formal declaration of the minor may be counted retroactively.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        English minors must take five courses, at least two of which are seminars. Just as there are no prerequisites, there are also no required courses for the minor. As detailed above, the department will offer suggestions as to possible clusters, but we will also invite students to chart their own paths and propose a new cluster.

        + +

        Minors are required to complete a reflection paper after completing the requirements for the minor. For this reflection paper, students are tasked with describing their paths through the minor and outlining the knowledge and skills they’ve acquired across their English courses.

        + +

        Students may submit their reflection papers at any time after they’ve completed the course requirements for the minor, but no later than March of their senior spring. The reflection paper, submitted to the director of the English Minor and read by members of our Committee on Departmental Studies, is the equivalent, for minors, of the Senior Departmental Exam our graduating majors must take, which also includes (as one component) a reflection paper.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Information

        +

        No more than one elected pass/D/fail course may be counted toward the requirements for the minor.

        + +

        Students are not able to count courses taken to fulfill the requirements of their concentration toward the requirements for the minor (i.e., no double-counting).

        + +
        + In this course, students will think dynamically about the relationship between archival records of Black life and Black women's creative expression to interrogate the possibilities and the limits of historical archives. Through hands-on engagement with archival objects in special collections and deep readings of literature, poetry, and visual arts, we will explore what the archival record affords, erases, and silences, and, conversely, how imaginative practices can begin to address and redress its subjects and their histories. + + A.

        + +
        + Think Space asks whether our tendency to think space via language, narrative, desire, subjectivity, and the condition of "being in time" is useful or exhaustive. This class is an experiment in what it means to "be" in space, inhabit a place. + + A. Cole + +

        + +
        + This course will explore the works of contemporary authors of the African and Caribbean diaspora in Europe and North America in relation to the changing historical and cultural context of migration and globalization. The course will consider how these writers have represented the process of relocation, acculturation, and the transnational moment.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        For more than 30 years, the Program in Environmental Studies (ENV)(link is external), now based in the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI)(link is external), has aimed to equip Princeton students with the skills to address critical environmental challenges that they will face throughout their careers and in life. Our guiding ethos is grounded in the appreciation that environmental challenges — both present and future — cannot be solved by any one discipline alone, but require concerted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary efforts, spanning all four divisions of the university. To that end, the program is designed to attract students from all disciplinary backgrounds and with varied interests, and to allow them to tailor their learning while also ensuring that they are exposed to fundamental environmental questions and methods/approaches through a variety of complementary lenses. In that sense, the ENV certificate — and, if approved, the minor — is designed to complement majors and not overlap or compete with them: specifically, it aims to provide a much broader multidisciplinary lens than any individual department or even individual division could.

        + +

         

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The ENV program aims to achieve a coherent structure in support of two fundamental goals: (1) to provide a multidisciplinary and complementary academic experience to students from diverse academic backgrounds and disciplines, and with diverse interests in environmental questions; and (2) to do so in a way that allows students the freedom and support to tailor their own path. To this end, the key learning goals of the ENV program are:

        + +
        • Via core courses, to give students a broadly accessible introduction to the key environmental concepts and challenges, seen through a variety of lenses: scientific, humanistic, policy, etc. Those students who seek lab experience have the option to take a version of a core course that has a science lab component.
          • +
        • Via foundational courses, to give students an in-depth exposure to specific topics of interest treated through at least two very different lenses that span not just different disciplines but different divisions. Students will learn how different disciplines frame research questions on the same topic, what methods they use to pursue them and how they communicate their results both to peers and broadly. It is this ambitiously complementary and multidisciplinary approach — rather than any specific topic per se — that constitutes the major learning goal for the program.
          • +
        • Via an ample and varied selection of elective courses, to give students the freedom to pursue the topics of greatest interest either by deepening their knowledge in certain areas or by exploring altogether different topics.
          • +
        • Via independent work, to give students the opportunity to sit with their own environment-related question and bring their own background, insights and expertise to tackle it.
          • +
        • Via the senior capstone experience, to give a cohort of students that tends to span 12–15 different departments from across all divisions the opportunity to discuss together the environmental issues that they deem most pressing and bring their own insights and expertise to bear.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        None, but students are strongly encouraged to complete at least one of the two 200-level ENV foundational courses, ENV 210A: Scientific Foundations of the Environmental Nexus (SEN), or ENV 210B: Scientific Foundations of the Environmental Nexus (SEL), or ENV 238: Environmental Keywords (SA) prior to declaring the minor.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students may declare the minor as early as the spring of their sophomore year but no later than fall semester of junior year.

        + +

        Undergraduates wishing to pursue an environmental studies minor should complete the ENV Minor Enrollment Form(link is external). Once submitted, you will be contacted by email to schedule an appointment with the ENV program director, Corina Tarnita (ctarnita@princeton.edu(link sends email)), or Amber Lee (amberlee@princeton.edu(link sends email)), the undergraduate/graduate program manager, to discuss your program of study.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The Minor in Environmental Studies(link is external) is open to students concentrating in any academic discipline and designed for students seeking a broad, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary introduction to environmental topics. To be eligible for the minor, students are required to complete two (2) foundational courses(link is external), at least one of which is at or above the 300 level, and three (3) elective courses(link is external), at least two of which are at or above the 300 level. Two of the total five (5) courses must be in humanities and/or social sciences and two must be in natural sciences and engineering. No more than one (1) course filling the requirement for the ENV minor may also be counted toward the student’s departmental concentration or another minor/certificate. 

        + +

        Students are required to participate in a capstone series of 2–3 dinner discussions in their senior year. As a group, students pursuing the ENV minor choose the theme of each dinner and a group of HMEI teaching postdocs share a few reading/listening materials on that topic prior to the dinner and facilitate the dinner discussion. 

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        Students must investigate an environmental topic as a component of their independent work, which can take one of four forms:

        + +
        1. a substantial part (e.g., a chapter) of a senior thesis.
          2. +
        2. a junior paper submitted to fulfill departmental requirement; supervising faculty needs to attest to its ENV focus.
          3. +
        3. a 15–20-page final report based on work done (at any stage of undergrad career) during an HMEI internship supervised by a University faculty member. The supervising faculty must review and sign off on the paper as being of sufficient quality to satisfy an independent paper requirement (e.g., a JP).
          4. +
        4. a 15–20-page independent paper supervised and approved by an HMEI or HMEI-affiliated faculty.
          5. +

        In all these instances, when the supervising faculty is in doubt about whether the environmental focus is sufficient to satisfy the minor requirement, the student needs to reach out to the ENV program director to obtain approval prior to embarking on the work.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        Students pursuing the ENV minor are required to participate in HMEI’s annual Discovery Day(link is external) poster show in the spring of their senior year, in which they share with fellow students, faculty and staff the motivation, methodology and final results of their independent research.

        Under the auspices of the Bendheim Center for Finance(link is external), Princeton undergraduates majoring in any department may earn a minor that attests to their proficiency in the discipline of finance. The rapidly developing field of finance focuses on the pricing of financial assets, including equities, bonds, currencies and derivative securities; portfolio management and the evaluation of financial risks; banking and financial intermediation; the financing of corporations; corporate governance; financial market and banking regulation; and many other topics. In addition to the obvious practical relevance of finance, the field contains both challenging intellectual problems and a distinctive formal framework within which those problems can be addressed. Knowledge of modern finance is also essential to the proper understanding of many other topics in economics and public policy, including the determination of exchange rates and international capital flows, the making of monetary and fiscal policy, the role of financial reform in developing and transition economies, the regulation and taxation of financial markets and financial instruments, and antitrust policy. Finally, modern finance is remarkably eclectic, drawing from many disciplines besides economics, including mathematics, operations research, engineering, computer science, psychology, politics and history.

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Bendheim Center for Finance offers a minor in finance, which is open to all majors and requires an application at the end of sophomore year. Princeton students earning the minor in finance are drawn from a wide cross-section of majors on campus. Modern finance is remarkably diverse, drawing from many disciplines beyond economics including mathematics, statistics, operations research, engineering, computer science, psychology and politics. In addition to the obvious practical relevance of finance, the field contains both challenging intellectual problems and a distinctive conceptual framework. Learning goals for students in the program include the following:

        + +
        • Understand and interpret the prices of financial and real assets, including equities, bonds, currencies and derivative securities
          • +
        • Construct and manage portfolios, including environmentally and socially responsible investing
          • +
        • Evaluate financial and other risks
          • +
        • Analyze the role that banks and other intermediaries play in the economy
          • +
        • Assess corporate governance, how companies finance themselves and interpret financial statements
          • +
        • Understand FinTech innovations including digital money
          • +

         

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        As economic theory, mathematics, and probability and statistics are pervasive in modern financial analysis, completion of the finance minor requires mathematical ability and preparation. The following foundation courses are required for admission into the program and (except as noted) must be completed by the end of sophomore year. All courses require a letter grade (pass/D/fail not allowed). Students are required to take courses in mathematics, economics and probability and statistics as follows:

        + +

        Mathematics

        + +

        (a) MAT175; (b) MAT201 and MAT202 or equivalent EGR154 and EGR156; or (c) MAT203 and MAT204. MAT 201 and MAT 202 are both strongly recommended, though only the higher of the two grades is recorded for the purpose of fulfilling the entry requirements. Students who choose to fulfill this requirement by taking the one-semester MAT 175 will be responsible for mastering the linear algebra part of the curriculum on their own.

        + +

        Economics

        + +

        ECO300 OR ECO 310 (Microeconomic Theory)

        + +

        Probability and Statistics

        + +

        ORF 245 (Fundamentals of Engineering Statistics), or ECO 202 (Statistics and Data Analysis for Economics), or PSY 251 (Quantitative Methods), or SOC 301 (Sociological Research Methods), or POL 345 (Quantitative Analysis and Politics), or SPI 200 (Statistics for Social Science).  A score of 5 in AP Statistics also fulfills the statistics prerequisite.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Interested students must submit a completed application online by June 1 of their sophomore year. A sophomore applying for admission by June 1 should select their courses in April, assuming they are going to be admitted. Students will receive admission decisions by July 31. At that point, they can change course selection if needed.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students must take a total of five courses, at the 300 level or higher.  Students must receive a minimum grade of C+ averaged over the core courses and the elective courses.

        + +

        Out of the five courses, at most only two can be double-counted between the student’s major and the finance minor.

        + +

        The two core courses — ECO 362 (Financial Investments) and ECO 363 (Corporate Finance and Financial Institutions) — are typically completed during junior year. There are no equivalents or substitutions for these core courses.

        + +

        Three electives must be chosen from the two lists of elective courses found on the program's website.

        + +
        • List 1: Financial Applications
          • +
        • List 2: General Methodology for Finance
          • +

        Students will be required to take at least one of the three electives from List 1. They may take the other two electives from either list, regardless of their major.

        + +

        In the case of study abroad, the two core courses must be completed at Princeton. Students are permitted to use course(s) completed abroad to fulfill one (but not more) of their three elective courses, subject to the approval of the director of the undergraduate program (DUP). We approve courses taken elsewhere only if they are of comparable standards and taken at comparable institutions. We only accept regular semester courses (no summer session or online courses). Study Abroad forms must be signed by the DUP prior to any travel taking place, and courses cannot be used retroactively.

        The Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies (link is external)is an interdisciplinary forum for the study of gender and sexuality, as well as their intersections with race, class, ethnicity and physical ability across cultures and global geographies both past and present. The program's courses, which are open to all students, examine gender and sexuality from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. The program offers core courses, seminars and cross-listed courses. A current list of course offerings is available on the program website. The program also encourages summer internships in relevant community-based programs, nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations with which the program's theoretical and historical inquiries can be applied in a practical setting.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The undergraduate minor in the interdisciplinary field of gender and sexuality studies at Princeton offers foundational and empirically based courses, as well as advanced theoretical courses on an extensive array of issues concerning gender, sexualities, race, scientific inquiry, and women’s historical, social, and cultural experiences within the United States and in transnational contexts. The program is designed to provide students with skills that develop substantive methodological and theoretical expertise within the field, supplementing work that engages subjects germane to gender and sexuality studies more broadly within their primary departments. Taking seriously the interdisciplinary nature of the field, the program encourages direct engagement with a wide variety of academic fields within the humanities, social sciences and the sciences. Those fields include but are not exclusive to anthropology, history, religion, sociology, English, comparative literature, African American studies, American studies, psychology, political science, philosophy and biology. The program’s robust and diverse intellectual community is comprised of scholars with expertise in feminist and queer theories, queer of color critique, histories of sexualities, LGBTQ+ history, gender and transnational migration, reproductive rights, feminist science studies, philosophy of science and transgender studies. The aim is to help students develop critical and analytical skills in research and knowledge production and a mastery of the fundamental principles of gender and sexuality studies to better understand and traverse these fundamental aspects of the human experience.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Admission to the program is by email, available via the program website and/or via consultation with the program director. Students are able to enroll beginning in the spring of their sophomore year and ending in the spring of their junior year. 

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students who wish to complete the requirements for the undergraduate certificate in gender and sexuality studies must take five courses:

        + +
        • The introductory course, GSS 201 (or, with permission, a cross-listed 200-level or above course)

        • Three elective courses in GSS or cross-listed with GSS from at least three of five thematic clusters (Transnational/Global Perspectives; Gender, Race, and Ethnicity; Bodies, Sexualities; Culture and Representation; Politics and Social Change; Historical Perspectives)
          • +
        • One additional 300- or 400-level GSS course or cross-listed with GSS 
          • +

        Students may take gender- or sexuality-related courses in their major departments for certificate credit. 

        + +

        In addition, certificate students are required to incorporate issues related to feminism, women, gender and/or sexuality into one junior paper and their senior thesis.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        Students are required to incorporate issues related to feminism, women, gender and/or sexuality into one junior paper and their senior thesis.

        +
        +
        +

        Certificate of Proficiency

        +

        Certificates of proficiency in the study of gender and sexuality are issued upon graduation to students who have completed the program and have met the requirements of their departments. This applies to students in the Class of 2024 and to students in the Class of 2025 who did not choose the minor program.

        + GSS 201 - Introduction to Gender and Sexuality Studies + + Fall + SA + +

        + +
        + What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither? How do gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge from networks of power and social relations? This course introduces major concepts in the interdisciplinary field of gender and sexuality studies. We will analyze the ways in which gender, as an object of study and as a lived experience, intersects with class, race, and ability, and will examine the relation between gender, sexuality and power in literary, philosophical, political and medical discourses. + + G.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        Princeton students are part of a new global health generation — a generation that witnesses first-hand the pressing health challenges in the world and wants to do something about them. The minor in Global Health and Health Policy (GHP) equips students with the cutting-edge tools, real-life experiences and critical perspectives to make meaningful change in the health sphere.

        + +

        The minor in Global Health and Health Policy provides students a foundational grounding in the core interdisciplinary issues of global health. These include the biological, social and environmental determinants of health; public health policy and politics; epidemiology; comparative approaches to health-care provision; medical anthropology; health ethics; and social justice. Participating students learn about and collaborate with diverse communities around the world and in the United States.

        + +

        Students from all majors are welcome.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +
        • Students gain knowledge of the fundamental principles of global health as drawn from natural science, social science and the humanities, and explore the ways in which these principles interact with each other across disciplines.
          • +
        • Students develop skills in policy analysis, critical thinking and ethical reasoning as they are applied in global health contexts.
          • +
        • Students demonstrate analytical research skills and mastery of interdisciplinary approaches to global health through a capstone written project in their senior year.
          • +
        • Students improve understanding of challenges involved in applying global health principles to real-world contexts through experiential learning opportunities including summer internships.
          • +
        • Students develop relationships with cohort classmates across disciplines — learning from each other as they jointly take core courses, participate in GHP colloquium lectures and participate in other minor-related activities.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        By the end of sophomore year, prospective applicants must complete one Foundations prerequisite course and one Statistics prerequisite course, with a grade of B or higher.

        + +

        Foundations prerequisite course options include: ANT 240, GSS 201, ISC-231-234, MOL 101, MOL/EEB 211, MOL/EEB 214, SOC 217, URB 201, EEB 309, EEB 314, EEB 327, and EEB 328.

        + +

        Statistics prerequisite course options include: ECO 202, MOL 290, ORF 245, POL 345, PSY 251, SML 201, SOC 301, SPI 200, ECO 302, ECO 312, and ORF 405.

        + +

        Applicants should also have maintained a cumulative 3.0 GPA through the time of application. Students with a cumulative GPA below 3.0, or who have not completed both prerequisite courses, may still apply to the minor during the sophomore spring with an explanation of any extenuating circumstances.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students apply to the minor in the spring semester of their sophomore year. The application(link is external) opens in late February and closes in late March. In the application, students describe their past engagement with the field of global health and health policy, their motivations for completing the minor and their notional global health research interests. All students meeting the baseline qualifications will be accepted to the minor, and will be notified by early April.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The minor in Global Health and Health Policy consists of three elements: coursework, summer internship, and capstone research project.

        + +

        Core Courses

        + +

        Students take two core GHP courses together as a cohort during their junior year. They are GHP 350: Critical Perspectives in Global Health Policy (fall semester) and GHP 351: Epidemiology: An Ecological and Evolutionary Perspective (spring semester). Exceptions to the core courses being taken during the junior year can be made when a student will be studying abroad, is on a leave of absence or will otherwise be off-campus; or when a student has a timing conflict with a required concentration course. These core courses may not be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.

        + +

        Elective Courses

        + +

        Students must take four additional elective courses in global health. Students may choose from an elective list that is curated and approved in advance every semester by the minor. In spring 2023 there were 60 preapproved GHP electives, and in fall 2022 there were 38 preapproved GHP electives.

        + +

        Guidelines on Elective Courses

        + +
        • Three of the four electives must be taken in junior or senior year.
          • +
        • One elective may be taken in the first year or sophomore year.
          • +
        • Students may petition to the minor for a course to be approved as a GHP elective prior to the start of the semester. Elective petitions will not be accepted after the start of the semester or after the course has been completed.
          • +
        • Elective courses may be at the 200-, 300-, or 400 level. Students may petition to the minor for a 500-level course to be approved as a GHP elective on an individual basis. 100-level courses will not be approved as electives.
          • +
        • A student may count a maximum of two 200-level courses toward the four elective total. If a cross- listed course carries both a 200- and 300-level course number, it will count as a 200-level course for purposes of this requirement.
          • +
        • At least one elective course must not be listed or cross-listed with the student’s major.
          • +
        • One course taken off-campus, including study abroad courses, may be taken as an elective with prior minor approval.
          • +
        • One elective course may be taken on a PDF basis. Any course taken off-campus would count toward this limit.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        Summer Internship

        + +

        GHP students will complete an internship or research experience during the summer between junior and senior year. This provides students an opportunity to apply concepts from the core GHP courses and any electives taken to date in a real-world context. This experience must be full-time and must be a minimum of eight weeks in duration. The internship may be remote. All internships must be approved in advance by the minor.

        + +

        Capstone Research Project

        + +

        GHP students will write a senior thesis or research paper that addresses or relates to global health in an interdisciplinary manner. The requirement can be fulfilled in three ways, including a departmental thesis that fully integrates a global health topic; a final chapter added to a technical or lab-based thesis that connects the preceding content to a global health topic; or an original research paper on a global health topic.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The minor in Hellenic Studies (HLS) aims to provide students with a thorough introduction to the history, literature, and culture of the Greek-speaking Eastern Mediterranean over the past three thousand years. This minor will allow students to engage, from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, with all aspects of Hellenism, its global encounters, and cross-cultural dialogues. At the same time, students in the Hellenic studies minor will acquire a strong grounding in the long history of this important region of the world.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Hellenic studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the language, literature, history, art and culture of the Greek world in the eastern Mediterranean (and beyond) over the past 3,000 years. The goal of the minor in Hellenic studies is to provide students exposure to and familiarity with the breadth and depth of the tradition of Hellenism and its global reception over this period of three millennia. 

        + +

        Hellenic studies undergraduate learning goals include:

        + +
        • Study the full breadth and depth of the Hellenic tradition through the close examination of texts, material objects, visual culture and music.
          • +
        • Provide a focused and intensive approach to humanistic studies more generally, via this intensive engagement with the long tradition of Hellenism.
          • +
        • Acquire a global perspective on the reception of Hellenic texts, visual and material culture, and music.
          • +
        • Develop an ability to appreciate critically one’s own historical and cultural particularity through this deep historical and broad geographical study of Hellenic texts, ideas and objects.
          • +
        • Offer students first-hand exposure to objects of material and visual culture through Hellenic Collections in the Princeton Library and the Princeton Art Museum, as well as visits to museums in the United States and access to research collections and historical sites in Greece.
          • +
        • Make available opportunities for on-site summer study, archaeological excavations, internships and public service in Greece, at the Princeton Athens Center and selected sites around the country.
          • +
        • Offer an intensive “Princeton in Greece” semester-long full credit-bearing program for undergraduates in the humanities and the social sciences.
          • +
        • Enrich students’ undergraduate experience by encouraging them to take part in the diverse activities and programming of the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies, including meeting graduate students, visiting fellows and postdoctoral researchers from around the world.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        There are no prerequisites for the Hellenic studies minor. Students are encouraged to take HLS 222, Hellenism: The First 3000 Years, by the end of their sophomore year.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students will normally declare a minor in Hellenic studies by the end of the spring of their junior year. In exceptional cases, with the permission of the director of the program in Hellenic studies and the student’s Residential College dean, a student may be admitted to the HLS Minor as late as the fall of their senior year, provided they have already taken Hellenic Studies courses that will count toward the minor.

        + +

        To declare a minor, students should contact the director of the Program in Hellenic Studies to signal their intent.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +
        • Five HLS courses in total are required for the Hellenic studies minor.
          • +
        • All students in the minor are required to take the gateway seminar HLS 222.
          • +
        • Students will also be required to take one 400-level HLS seminar, approved by the director of the Program in Hellenic Studies.
          • +
        • All HLS cross-listed courses will be designated as “HSR” (History, Society, Religion), “LLP” (Language, Literature, Philosophy), or “VMM” (Visual and Material Culture, and Music). Some classes may have more than one designation. Students pursuing the minor will be required to take at least one course from each designation. At least one of the three required courses must have as its central chronological focus the post-Classical Greek world, i.e., one (or more) of the following periods of Hellenism: Late Antique, medieval/Byzantine, renaissance/early modern, modern, and contemporary.
          • +
        • All HLS classes taken to fulfill the Hellenic studies minor requirement, save the HLS gateway seminar, can also be counted towards fulfilling the student’s major requirement. Typically, no more than two courses will be allowed to double-count with a student’s major.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        Independent work is not required for the Hellenic studies minor. 

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Information

        +

        Students who have successfully completed the five courses required for the Hellenic studies minor will have a solid introduction to the literature, history, and culture of the Hellenic Eastern Mediterranean, broadly conceived, for the past three thousand years. Their critical understanding of this multicultural area and subject matter and, more broadly, their sustained engagement with the humanities and the social sciences, will be further enriched by pursuing study and research on-site in Greece and the Hellenic Mediterranean.

        + +


        +Princeton’s Hellenic studies program has long been the leading program of its kind in North America and, arguably, the leading Hellenic studies program in the world outside of Greece. With our faculty and resources, we aim to offer Hellenic studies students a unique curriculum and a thorough, multifaceted exposure to some of the most compelling stories, people, and places in the human experience of the past three millennia.

Over the same three millennia, the Greek language played a central role in a variety of political communities, including ancient Athens, the empire of Alexander, the Roman empire, Byzantium, and the modern nation state of Greece. In this course, we will trace the history of these two phenomena: the political life and fortunes of Greek speakers and the cultural life of texts written in Greek, seeking to understand the relationship between the two. + + J.

        +
        + +

        Understanding the human past is essential to living in the present and shaping the future. The themes explored in history courses address questions about the transformation of societies over time and the diversity of human experience, through the study of politics and conflict, religion, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, or the production of knowledge (among many themes). By juxtaposing current-day assumptions and biases against the norms and prejudices from the distant past and other cultures, the study of history provides valuable insights on how we are situated in the present. For students majoring in the natural sciences or engineering, the history minor provides the opportunity to pursue a parallel intellectual journey. For students majoring in other humanities or social science disciplines, the history minor complements their course of study.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The history minor provides students an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the human past. Through coursework and a research paper, students learn how to pose historical questions, how to build answers by analyzing historical evidence in context, how to evaluate existing interpretations of the past, and how to write persuasively and elegantly. The department’s courses explore a wide variety of regions, themes and periods, and history minors have the flexibility to undertake a broad range of inquiry or to pursue a specific passion in depth. No matter which pathway they choose, though, history minors develop key critical thinking skills. They foster empathy for different perspectives and gain new insight into the diversity of human experience. And they learn to research and debate how and why societies change over time, as well as how prior eras have helped to produce our own. By becoming more informed students of the past, history minors improve their ability to scrutinize the present and to thoughtfully shape the future.

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        The history minor is open to all undergraduate students, without prerequisite.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students may declare their interest in the history minor from the spring of sophomore year to the spring of junior year.

        + +

        Students register their interest by contacting the Director of Undergraduate Program for History(link is external) in the history department.

        + +

        Students majoring in history or pursuing a minor in the history of science, technology, and medicine are not eligible.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students are required to complete five history courses. These courses may range broadly across regions, themes and time periods, or they may be focused on a single area of study. Upon declaring their interest in a history minor, students will articulate their goals and plan an individualized pathway to the minor in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Program for History(link is external). 

        + +

        All courses for the history minor must be taken on a graded basis (no pass/D/fail). No cognates are permitted.

        + +

        No more than one course may double-count with a course taken for credit in the major or another minor.

        + +

        Interested history minors may apply to take the junior seminar for majors (HIS400) (link is external)during the fall or spring of junior year or fall of senior year. For minors enrolled in HIS 400, the course requirements are standard except that the research paper written for the course will be slightly shorter than the length required for majors. Available spots will be allocated after history majors have registered. 

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        Students are required to write a research paper (minimum length of 12 pages) with substantive primary source engagement. The research paper will normally be written for a HIS course and revised as needed to meet the requirements of the minor. In addition, students will submit a 500-word methodological reflection on the research and writing process. The undergraduate program director for history will review the submitted work and verify that it satisfies departmental requirements.

        + +
        + From colonial settlement to the present, this course weaves a comprehensive history of American cities. Over centuries, cities have symbolized democratic ideals of "melting pots" and innovation, as well as crises of disorder, decline, crime, and poverty. Urban life has concentrated extremes like rich and poor; racial and ethnic divides; philanthropy and greed; skyscrapers and parks; violence and hope; downtown and suburb. The course examines how cities in U.S. history have brokered revolution, transformation and renewal, focusing on class, race, gender, immigration, capitalism, and the built environment.

        + +
        + From "Chinese opium" to Oxycontin, and from cocaine and "crack" to BiDil, drug controversies reflect enduring debates about the role of medicine, the law, the policing of ethnic identity, and racial difference. This course explores the history of controversial substances (prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, black market substances, psychoactive drugs), and how, from cigarettes to alcohol and opium, they become vehicles for heated debates over immigration, identity, cultural and biological difference, criminal character, the line between legality and illegality, and the boundaries of the normal and the pathological. + + K.

        + HIS 404 - The Rise of the Republican Party + + Not offered this year + HA + +

        + +
        + For the first seventy-five years of U.S. history, anti-slavery parties were confined to the radical fringe of national politics. Yet just six years after it was founded in 1854, the Republican Party became the only third party organization in U.S. history to capture the Presidency.The triumph of this new, avowedly anti-slavery was unprecedented: "the revolution of 1860," some called it. But who exactly were these Republicans? How did they rise so far, so fast, and against such mighty obstacles? And what sort of world did they want to build? Using both primary and secondary sources, this seminar will explore these and other vital questions. + + M. Karp + +
        + + + +

        + HIS 405 - Native American History + + Not offered this year + HA + +

        + +
        + This course covers the history of Native Americans until 1838 (the end of forced Removal). It has two central goals: to emphasize the variety of Native American societies and cultures that existed (and exist) in North America, and to highlight the centrality of Native American history to North American history as a whole. Readings will include: the accounts of the travels of Cabeza de Vaca and of John Smith, the Jesuit Relations, the Life of Black Hawk, the journals of Lewis and Clark, several captivity narratives, and Cherokee documents written during Removal. + + W.

        + HIS 417 - Gandhi: The Making of the Mahatma + + Not offered this year + HA + +

        + +
        + This seminar examines Gandhi's political life extending from his campaign for the rights of Indians in South Africa to his role in the struggle for Indian independence from British rule. Focus on those historical processes that turned M. K. Gandhi into a major 20th-century figure--the Mahatma. Issues relating to imperialism and nationalism form the context in which the seminar looks at Gandhi's life and seeks to understand Gandhian ideology and its different--often conflicting--historical appropriations.

        + Catastrophe reveals the fragility of human society. This course examines a series of phenomena--plague, famine, war, revolution, economic depression etc.--in order to reach an understanding of humanity's imaginings of but also resilience to collective crises. We shall look in particular at how political forces such as empire have historically both generated and resisted global disasters. Material dealing with the especially fraught centuries at the transition between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period will be set alongside examples drawn from antiquity as well as our own contemporary era. + + T.

        + +
        + Studies of war and society rarely address environmental factors and agency. The relationship between war and environment is often either reduced to a simple environmental determinism or it is depicted as a war against nature and ecosystems, playing down societal dynamics. The seminar explores the different approaches to the war-environment-society nexus and highlights how and why the three spheres should be studied in conjunction. The objective is to assess how and why environmental and societal factors and forces caused and shaped the conflicts and how in turn mass violence shaped societies and how they used and perceived their environments. + + E.

        + The prison is a growth industry in the U.S.; it is also a central institution in U.S. political and social life, shaping our experience of race, class, gender, sexuality, citizenship, and political possibility. This course explores the history of incarceration over the course of more than two centuries. It tracks the emergence of the penitentiary in the early national period and investigates mass incarceration of the late 20th century. Topics include the relationship between the penitentiary and slavery; the prisoners' rights movement; Japanese internment; immigration detention; and the privatization and globalization of prisons. + + Staff + +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        From climate change to pandemics to the transformative effects of information technology, many of the challenges we confront today are inseparable from science, technology and medicine, whether as cause, explanation or remedy. To understand the role of STM in our present predicament and think through how it will shape our future, a historical perspective is vital. In the HSTM minor, students will learn from the array of methodological approaches developed by historians of science, technology and medicine, and track the evolution of modern science from antiquity to the present, in many of the world’s cultures. For students majoring in the humanities and social sciences, the HSTM minor enhances their understanding of the content, methodologies and impacts of science, technology and medicine; in a complementary fashion, the HSTM minor provides students majoring in the natural sciences or engineering a richer appreciation of the social and cultural aspects of their fields, as well as the trajectories that brought their subjects to their present state.

        The Program in Humanistic Studies,(link is external) under the auspices of the Council of the Humanities, hosts courses that take interdisciplinary, comparative and cross-cultural approaches to the humanities.

        + +

        The minor in humanistic studies is open to students from all majors who wish to pursue their intellectual interests and commitments within an interdisciplinary curriculum. HUM minors are encouraged to reflect on the presuppositions of their major field and to become versatile thinkers and researchers. Some HUM minors prefer to connect disciplines across and within the scholarly humanities (e.g., literature with philosophy); others are drawn to connect the humanities to the creative arts, engineering, or social or natural sciences. Still others engage with such interdisciplinary fields of study as medical, environmental, urban and digital humanities.

        + +

        At the introductory level, we offer three year-long, team-taught "Humanities Sequences" exploring the events, ideas, texts and artifacts of Western, Near Eastern and East Asian cultures, respectively. These three sequences are historical in sweep. They attend closely to revolutions in thought and politics; to works that grapple with justice, human rights, racism and social transformation; and to how thinkers, writers and artists have imagined relationships among human beings, the natural world, and the built environment.

        + +

        First- and second-year students study these challenging texts in a supportive, communal setting, and are mentored by upper-level students in the program. Having acquired a strong grounding in an interdisciplinary study, juniors and seniors elect courses that invite them to reflect explicitly on the theory and practice of disciplines and to approach one field with the questions and methods of another. At the advanced level, the program offers team-taught capstone seminars, many of which are taught by faculty from the introductory sequences. When students select courses, we encourage them to be guided by their own intellectual interests and commitments.

        + +

        HUM students share in a lively and congenial community throughout their years at Princeton. We are committed to values that lie at the heart of humanistic inquiry: critical thinking, reasoned discourse, diversity, civility, empathy and compassion. All HUM minors automatically become members of the Behrman Undergraduate Society of Fellows (BUSF), a monthly enrichment and community-building program which may include student presentations of independent work, dinners with guest speakers, trips to cultural events and performances, museum tours, etc.

        + +

        Students generally declare their interest in the sophomore spring term after having completed one of the sequence courses, but no later than the spring of junior year. The application is available on the humanistic studies website.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in Humanistic Studies is a minor about major questions: What is it to be human? What do we do with our humanity? How do we experience difference and what role does it play in the good life? How do tradition and transformation make our lives deeper and more dynamic? We address these questions by inviting students to reflect explicitly on the theory and practice of disciplines and to build bridges among them.

        + +

        HUM courses forge new paths to knowledge; we take interdisciplinary, comparative and cross-cultural approaches to issues both urgent and timeless. We train students to approach one field with the questions and methods of another. In our three team-taught sequences, students follow the chronological sweep of a tradition, with emphasis on transformation, adaptation, and cross-cultural encounter. In our team-taught “capstone” seminars, such as “Incarceration in Antiquity,” “Medical Story-worlds,” “Witness,” and “When Worlds Collide: Poetry and Computation,” scholars trained in different fields engage students in the lived experience of multidisciplinary exchange. We offer faculty incentives to develop fresh topics not normally taught in departments, as well as innovative pedagogy; many of our courses highlight emerging fields that offer new horizons for humanities research.

        To earn the minor in humanistic studies, students must fulfill the following requirements:

        + +
        1. At least one semester of a 200-level Humanities Sequence course, whether double-credit (Western Humanities) or single credit (East Asian and Near Eastern Humanities), normally taken in the first or second year. The three sequences fulfilling this requirement are HUM 216-217 and 218-219 (Interdisciplinary Approaches to Western Culture); HUM 233-234 (East Asian Humanities); and HUM 247-248 (Near Eastern Humanities).
          2. +
        2. Four additional interdisciplinary courses: +
          • At least two of the four courses must be HUM courses, originating in the Program in Humanistic Studies.
            • +
          • Two of the four courses must be taken at the 300 or 400 level. The capstone seminar for the minor, HUM 470, Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities, is highly recommended as one of these two courses. This team-taught course varies from year to year, depending on the focus of the faculty teams. These courses are a site of innovation and experimentation, offering cutting-edge, hands-on experience with new constellations of texts, objects and images. Designed specifically for HUM minors, the seminars have wide appeal, and seats are always reserved for HUM minors.
            • +
          • The four courses must also be drawn from at least two of the following clusters, which demonstrate the broad reach of the humanities. Each semester, students will be furnished with a list of preapproved courses for each cluster and the specific HUM courses and HUM cross-lists included in each; some courses will appear in more than one cluster.
            • +
          3. +

        Tradition and Transformation

        + +

        These courses deepen the study of particular partnerships among the possible combinations of religion, philosophy, history, literature and the creative arts. They pay attention to the landmark achievements in an intellectual tradition, considering continuities as well as societal change, upheaval and transformation.

        + +

        Global or Comparative Humanities

        + +

        Illuminating their study of one culture with comparative approaches to other areas of the world, these courses investigate one or more regions through various methodologies. To enhance their intercultural studies, program students have benefited from participating in global seminars or other study abroad opportunities.

        + +

        Engaged or Public Humanities

        + +

        These courses explore links to the social sciences through such emerging fields as cognitive science, environmental studies, medical humanities, urban humanities, indigenous studies and disability studies, among other fields. Students may pursue community-engaged research and scholarly activism.

        + +

        Humanities and Sciences in Dialogue

        + +

        These courses consider how advances in natural science and engineering technology empower us to ask new kinds of questions and forge new kinds of knowledge.

        + +

        Data and Culture

        + +

        Addressing an increasingly datafied society, these courses teach the ability to contextualize and interpret data as humanistic skills. This cluster requires HUM 346 / CDH 346, Introduction to Digital Humanities.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Information

        +

        Up to two courses may be double-counted with permission of the home department’s director of undergraduate studies and the humanistic studies program adviser.

        + +

        Students in the Class of 2025 will be the first to be eligible to earn a minor. The Class of 2024 will earn certificates(link is external).

        + +

        The Department of East Asian Studies(link is external) offers a wide range of undergraduate classes at the highest standards of academic, linguistic and cultural competence focused on China, Japan and Korea. It provides an opportunity for students who plan to major in other disciplines to simultaneously pursue a high level of proficiency in one or more East Asian language (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and acquire the basic knowledge about the literature, history and culture of East Asia. The student’s work is supervised by the faculty members of the department, whose work covers East Asian literature, history, film and media, and anthropology. Students are also encouraged to work with other faculty members conducting research in and teaching on East Asia.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The main learning goal of the Japanese language minor is to acquire a solid grasp of the language. There are three components of this overall goal. First, the student will take six language courses, two or more of which must be beyond the second-year level. After taking these courses, students will have the ability to read, write, listen and speak in Japanese. The student is also required to take one or more EAS-prefix course or cognate course related to East Asia, giving a foundation in some aspects of East Asian culture. Finally, the student is required to complete a substantial piece of research (20–25 pages) based at least in part on primary sources in the Japanese language. These components ensure that the student not only acquires a high level of language competency but also can apply this competency in original research that is well-informed by an understanding of East Asian culture and history.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to undergraduates in all departments. Students interested in earning a minor are encouraged to apply no earlier than the spring of sophomore year and no later than the spring of junior year. Final application materials, including the written work form, should be filed with the Department of East Asian Studies office by the deadline of one week before Dean's Date in the spring of the student's senior year, at the latest.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        A student majoring in a department other than East Asian studies may earn a language minor in Japanese by completing seven courses, including six language courses (two or more of which must be beyond the second-year level) and at least one EAS or cognate course. An East Asian studies major specializing in Chinese or Korean language may earn a language minor in Japanese, but may not also earn an East Asian studies minor offered by the Program in East Asian Studies. Courses taken on a pass/D/fail basis will not be counted.

        + +

        Students must also complete a substantial piece of research (20–25 pages) based at least in part on Japanese language sources dealing with aspects of East Asia. The topic must be in the humanities or social sciences. The paper could be either an original piece of research or a junior paper or senior thesis. If the paper or senior thesis is written for another department, at least half of the work must be on East Asia.

        + +

        Students placing into language courses beyond the second-year level should plan to satisfy the language course requirements for the minor with higher level courses. If there are no suitable higher level language courses available, students may seek permission from the EAS director of undergraduate studies to substitute some EAS-prefixed and cognate courses for language work.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        The written work requirement can be a paper written exclusively/independently for the language minor, another piece of work (i.e., a senior thesis, junior paper or substantial seminar paper), or a hybrid (i.e., a previous paper that is independently expanded to meet all criteria).

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        Courses taken abroad in summer language programs (i.e., Princeton in Ishikawa) or over the course of a semester or year at other institutions may count toward minor requirements. Preapproval for any non-Princeton program coursework must be obtained from the EAS director of undergraduate studies.

        +
        +
        +

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The minor in journalism(link is external) provides an interdisciplinary framework of courses through which students produce rigorous, verified journalism, developing a strong command of the literary, ethical, analytical and political dimensions of telling a compelling story in order to have a meaningful impact on public conversation.

        + +

        The program takes an integrative approach across disciplines and divisions, understanding journalism as an exemplar of the liberal arts: deeply rooted in the humanities but concerned with public policy, national security, data analysis, technology, social and political science, and business and economics.

        + +

        The program highlights journalism’s function as a public service and raises awareness about the critical role of reliable journalism in an informed democracy, and of accountability reporting in upholding civil institutions.

        + +

        Students learn the practice of reporting and verification, and the art of crafting compelling nonfiction narratives in a variety of media. They learn to write clear and dynamic prose and to communicate complex ideas.

        + +

        The program enriches and expands on students’ work in their major in a number of ways. Their new reporting skills and familiarity with the ethics of journalism empower them to write papers clearly, persuasively and responsibly, potentially bringing their research to a wide audience. Conversely, the knowledge gained in their major field coursework provides future journalists and nonfiction authors with compelling raw material from which to craft stories, books, podcasts and interactive media. Taught by working journalists with a wide range of expertise, our courses illuminate the value of a broad but integrated plan of study. Our goal is to produce graduates able to articulate and pursue the highest values, aspirations and best practices associated with excellent journalism, and to bring these into wider circulation both nationally and globally.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Minors in journalism will encounter a rigorous framework of courses through which they acquire critical thinking skills empowering them to identify, analyze, synthesize and convey to others significant issues and innovations.

        + +

        The learning goals of the minor program include:

        + +

        • Media Literacy

        + +

        To promote media literacy and familiarity with journalistic ethics for students as both consumers and producers of journalism. To impart critical thinking skills that will empower students to identify crucial, untold stories and write distinguished, rigorous, verified journalism (e.g., “The Media in America”; “Investigative Reporting”).

        + +

        • Writing and the Art of Storytelling

        + +

        To teach students to write clear and dynamic prose, to communicate complex ideas and to craft compelling nonfiction narratives in a variety of media, old and new, with the aim of shaping public conversations (e.g., “The Literature of Fact”; “Creative Nonfiction”; “The McGraw Seminar in Writing”).

        + +

        • Public Service and Global Citizenship

        + +

        To promote the values inherent in the University’s unofficial motto, “In the nation’s service and in the service of humanity”; to teach the importance of accountability reporting and the critical role of verified journalism in an informed democracy; to discuss the particular cultural and ethical challenges that face international correspondents. To help students become more informed and globally minded citizens, voters and participants in public life (e.g., “The Media and Social Issues”; “Politics and the Media”; “International News”).

        + +

        • Digital Entrepreneurship

        + +

        To empower students to use and design digital tools for producing and verifying news accounts, and to craft new, financially viable business models for journalism to inform the public about current affairs and democratic institutions (e.g., “Digital Journalism”; “Audio Journalism”).

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to students of all majors. Students may apply for the minor after having completed one journalism course with a grade of B or above. Students normally apply during the spring semester of their sophomore year, but no later than the fall semester of their junior year.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students complete three requirements: coursework (students must complete at least five courses, with a grade of B or above), an approved experience of journalism practice, and participation in a required senior colloquium. Courses used to satisfy the journalism minor requirements also may be used to fulfill other majors and minors.

        + +

        Coursework must comprise:

        + +
        1. At least one gateway course (200-level) selected from the list below:
          2. +

        JRN 240/CWR 240 Creative Nonfiction (LA): This is a workshop in factual writing and what has become known as literary nonfiction, emphasizing writing assignments and readings of leading work in the genre.

        + +

        JRN 260 The Media in America (SA): This seminar explores the challenges and opportunities that today’s rapidly evolving media landscape presents to freedom of the press, and to the democracy that the media serve. Discussion focuses on where news comes from and how citizens can best assess the credibility of individual news reports.

        + +

        JRN 280 The Literature of Fact (LA): Students in this course strive to identify and emulate the best writing in a variety of journalistic genres, from news analysis to art criticism to international correspondence.

        + +

        Gateway courses focus on the ethics of journalism, media literacy, and fact-based reporting, developing a common vocabulary and methodology including interviewing, storytelling and verification skills. Courses are writing-intensive, as students are required to perform journalism — to report, write, record, workshop and revise.

        + +

             2. At least two additional JRN courses at the 300- or 400-level (including cross-lists in which JRN is the first cross-list): These courses are taught by distinguished, practicing journalists. Some seats will be reserved for journalism minors.

        + +

             3. At least two journalism-related courses with a grade of B or above (no pass/D/fail). Each of these courses must be approved by the program director to fulfill this requirement, unless they are cross-listed with JRN (as these will count automatically).

        + +

             4. Journalism Practice (either fieldwork experience or an independent writing project): Students must participate in sustained journalistic activity for a minimum of six weeks, whether working within an approved news organization or writing an independent creative nonfiction project. The practice should involve reporting, interviewing, researching and writing and may also involve copyediting, web design, photography, videography, data analysis, etc. Examples include interning at a major news organization, working for an approved student journalism organization, undertaking an independent reporting and writing project advised by a Princeton faculty member, or successfully completing an intensive summer journalism seminar abroad. To fulfill this requirement, students must obtain approval for their proposed journalistic practice from the program director.

        + +

             5. Senior Colloquium: Students must produce an original piece of fact-based journalism based on field reporting or exploring the challenges facing modern journalists and, near the end of their senior year, present this work to peers and a jury of current and former Princeton journalism instructors at an interdisciplinary year-end colloquium.

        + +

        Students may only integrate their journalism practice writing (fieldwork or independent project), or their senior colloquium presentation, with independent work in their major with the express prior approval of both their director of undergraduate studies and the director of the Program in Journalism.

        + +

        Students in the Class of 2025 will be the first to be eligible to earn a minor. The Class of 2024 will earn certificates.

        The Department of East Asian Studies(link is external) offers a wide range of undergraduate classes at the highest standards of academic, linguistic and cultural competence focused on China, Japan and Korea. It provides an opportunity for students who plan to major in other disciplines to simultaneously pursue a high level of proficiency in one or more East Asian language (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and acquire the basic knowledge about the literature, history and culture of East Asia. The student’s work is supervised by the faculty members of the department, whose work covers East Asian literature, history, film and media, and anthropology. Students are also encouraged to work with other faculty members conducting research in and teaching on East Asia.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The main learning goal of the Korean language minor is to acquire a solid grasp of the language. There are three components of this overall goal. First, the student will take six language courses, two or more of which must be beyond the second-year level. After taking these courses, students will have the ability to read, write, listen and speak in Korean. The student is also required to take one or more EAS-prefix course or cognate course related to East Asia, giving a foundation in some aspects of East Asian culture. Finally, the student is required to complete a substantial piece of research (20–25 pages) based at least in part on primary sources in the Korean language. These components ensure that the student not only acquires a high level of language competency but also can apply this competency in original research that is well-informed by an understanding of East Asian culture and history.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The program is open to undergraduates in all departments. Students interested in earning a minor are encouraged to apply no earlier than the spring of sophomore year and no later than the spring of junior year. Final application materials, including the written work form, should be filed with the Department of East Asian Studies office by the deadline of one week before Dean's Date in the spring of the student's senior year, at the latest.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        A student majoring in a department other than East Asian Studies may earn a language minor in Korean by completing seven courses, including six language courses (two or more of which must be beyond the second-year level) and at least one EAS or cognate course. East Asian studies majors focusing on Chinese or Japanese language may earn a language minor in Korean, but may not also earn an East Asian studies minor offered by the Program in East Asian Studies. Courses taken on a pass/D/fail basis will not be counted.

        + +

        Students must also complete a substantial piece of research (20–25 pages) based at least in part on Korean language sources dealing with aspects of East Asia. The topic must be in the humanities or social sciences. The paper could be either an original piece of research or a junior paper or senior thesis. If the paper or senior thesis is written for another department, at least half of the work must be on East Asia.

        + +

        Students placing into language courses beyond the second-year level should plan to satisfy the language course requirements for the minor with higher level courses. If there are no suitable higher level language courses available, students may seek permission from the EAS director of undergraduate studies to substitute some EAS-prefixed and cognate courses for language work.

        + +

         

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        The written work requirement can be a paper written exclusively/independently for the language minor, another piece of work (i.e., a senior thesis, junior paper or substantial seminar paper), or a hybrid (i.e., a previous paper that is independently expanded to meet all criteria).

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        Courses taken abroad in summer language programs (i.e., Princeton in Korea) or over the course of a semester or year at other institutions may count toward minor requirements. Preapproval for any non-Princeton program coursework must be obtained from the EAS director of undergraduate studies.

        The Program in Latino Studies(link is external), administered by the Effron Center for the Study of America, offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that traverses the arts, humanities and social sciences. The program is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the emergence, transformation and consolidation of Latino/a/x as a pan-ethnic group central to the development of the United States as a nation. The course of study also highlights the transnational connections and contexts of Latino/a/x peoples across the Americas, including dynamics of globalization, migration, colonialism, imperialism, citizenship and diaspora.

        + +

        The structure of the Program in Latino Studies facilitates productive engagement with the programs housed in the Effron Center and encourages comparative and intersectional work with the Department of African American Studies, Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies and other relevant fields of study that help to contextualize Latino/a/x histories and cultures within the diversity of American experience.

        + +

        In addition, the Program in Latino Studies’ structure facilitates productive engagement with the fields of American studies and Asian American studies and encourages comparative and intersectional work with the Department of African American Studies, the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies and other relevant fields of study that help to contextualize Latino/a/x histories and cultures within the diversity of American experience.

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students from all departments are welcome to the program. There are no prerequisites, and courses taken prior to enrollment may count toward the minor requirements. Students are encouraged to enroll in the minor beginning the end of sophomore year through the end of junior year. Students are normally encouraged to take the gateway course AMS 101 prior to declaring the minor; however, students may also do so at any time during their studies, including after enrollment in the minor. To enroll in the program, students should complete the online enrollment form(link is external) on the Effron Center website. New students should plan to meet with the associate director or program coordinator of the Effron Center before the end of their first year of enrollment to review their plans for fulfilling the minor requirements.

        Linguistics is the scientific study of language and all its properties. Some of the core aspects of language that linguists study include:

        + +
        • The physical manifestations of language as spoken sounds and gestural signs (Phonetics)
          • +
        • The systematic patterns in those physical manifestations (Phonology)
          • +
        • The construct of the “word” and the relations of its parts (Morphology)
          • +
        • The structural organization of words into phrases and sentences (Syntax)
          • +
        • The assignment of meanings to linguistic expressions in context (Semantics, Pragmatics) 
          • +
        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Students at Princeton develop the skills of a linguist through hands-on engagement with gathering and interpreting data from many different languages, the employment of diverse methodologies, and the investigation of language through a variety of lenses, including:

        + +
        • Working with native speakers of an unfamiliar language (Field Methods).
          • +
        • Engaging with descriptive grammars and large-scale statistical correlations to investigate similarities and differences across languages (Linguistic Typology).
          • +
        • Analyzing texts to elucidate how language changes over time (Historical Linguistics).
          • +
        • Modeling linguistic differences across dialects and social contexts (Sociolinguistics).
          • +
        • Measuring linguistic behaviors in controlled experimental contexts (Psycholinguistics).
          • +
        • Observing how languages develop/coexist within speakers (Language Acquisition, Bilingualism).
          • +

        Beyond the linguistic knowledge mastered through such coursework, students of linguistics will gain a number of valuable skills that extend to nearly every domain, including: logical problem-solving, gathering and organizing large data sets, recognizing patterns, making and testing hypotheses, and identifying problems in and prospects for analytical approaches.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students with a particular interest in language and linguistics can pursue an independent major in linguistics or a minor in linguistics.

        + +

        For the minor, students satisfy the requirements of their chosen departmental major and develop a complementary course of study in linguistics as outlined in the Program of Study section, below. The minor program is open to undergraduates majoring in any department. Interested students should plan a course of study and apply through the LIN Program website(link is external). Applicants will be accepted on the basis of interest and a coherent academic plan.

        + +

        For the independent major in linguistics, interested students must arrange a meeting with the LIN director of undergraduate program, no later than early- to mid-fall of sophomore year, to discuss a program of study and to obtain an application. (Details of this independent major can be found on the LIN Program website(link is external).) Applications will be reviewed by the Office of the Dean of the College, and applicants will be notified of a decision early in the spring semester. The application is due in early December of the student’s sophomore year.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        The program of study for the LIN minor will be approved by the LIN program director or director of undergraduate program. It will include completion of the following requirements:

        + +
        1. Satisfactory completion of LIN 201/CGS 205, Introduction to Language and Linguistics. Permission may be granted to substitute a different LIN course in place of 201; decisions will be made by the director of undergraduate program on a case-by-case basis.
          2. +
        2. Satisfactory completion of four additional LIN courses beyond 201 in the following three categories: +
          • At least one course from the set of “core” courses (LIN 301, LIN 302, LIN 303, LIN 306; LIN 303 may be substituted with PHI/LIN 334)
            • +
          • At least one course from the set of “methods” courses (LIN 210, LIN 310, LIN 355, LIN 356.
            • +
          • Any two other LIN-designated courses at the 200 level or above (which may be drawn from the sets above). Linguistics-related courses in other departments and programs that do not have the LIN designation may be approved by the director of undergraduate program on a case-by-case basis. No more than one of these elective courses may be taken pass/D/fail. No more than one of the five courses to be completed may double-count with the student’s major.
            • +
          3. +
        3. Some substantial aspect of linguistics should be incorporated either into the student’s junior independent work or into their senior thesis. This requirement is typically met either by writing a junior paper or senior thesis on a linguistics topic or topic related to linguistics (i.e., a topic that satisfies the requirements of both the student’s major and minor), or by including a chapter on a linguistics topic in a senior thesis whose general topic is not directly related to linguistics. If this is not feasible, students should contact the director of undergraduate program for alternative arrangements, which in most cases will involve writing a short piece of independent work on a topic related to linguistics, supervised by a member of the LIN faculty.
          4. +

        A student who fulfills the requirements laid out above with satisfactory standing receives a minor in linguistics upon graduation.

        + +

        Note: This program of study is for a LIN minor, and is separate from the program of study for an independent concentration in linguistics. For the latter, see the LIN Program website(link is external).

        Additional Information

        +

        Students in the Class of 2025 will be the first to be eligible to earn a minor. The Class of 2024 will earn certificates.

        + LIN 302 - Syntax + + Fall + EC + +

        + +
        + Syntax is the aspect of human language involved in building phrases out of words. How do words combine - like beads on a string? Are words the smallest building blocks of phrases? How can we make predictions about what is possible and impossible in these structures? This course aims to answer these questions while focusing on the methods linguists use to analyze natural language expressions. Explorations of universal properties of language structures, as well as the ways in which those structures can vary. Strong emphasis on building and testing hypotheses on the basis of both language data and foundational principles of the field. + + B. Ahn + +

        + +
        + This course delves into the internal composition of words (morphology) across languages. What is a word? What can be inside of a word? Do all languages build words in the same way(s), with the same sorts of ingredients? How similar is word-building to sentence-building? We will engage deeply with both the empirical and theoretical side of this topic, exploring not just morphology, but also its interactions with phonology (sound systems) and syntax (sentence structure). This class is highly interactive and hands-on. Students will develop tools of analysis and argumentation that are applicable in all areas of linguistics and beyond. + + L. Kalin + +

        + +
        + This course covers the linguistic, psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, and sociolinguistic aspects of bilingualism. We examine language acquisition in monolingual and bilingual children, the notion of "critical age" for language acquisition, definitions and measurements of bilingualism, and the verbal behavior of bilinguals such as code-switching. We consider the effects of bilingualism on other cognitive domains, including memory, and examine neurolinguistic evidence comparing the brains of monolinguals and bilinguals. Societal and governmental attitudes toward bilingualism in countries like India and the U.S. are contrasted. + + C. Fellbaum + +

        + +
        + This course is a hands-on exploration of language typology. Each student will work with a different endangered language to help us, as a class, answer typological questions across various domains of language (sounds, words, sentences, etc.). Along what lines do languages vary? How much can languages differ from each other? Are any linguistic properties shared across all human languages, and if so, how do we explain them? How do signed languages fit into this picture, and what's all that buzz about Pirahã? Through answering these questions, we will build up and engage with various models and theories of language variation. + + L. Kalin + +

We read and discuss both classic and contemporary syntactic research on a variety of topics, including syntactic issues in word order, pronunciation, and interpretation. Students apply these tools to a broad set of linguistic data, from a variety of languages, both in and out of the classroom. The course culminates in each student writing a "squib", in which they test multiple hypotheses on a syntactic phenomenon of their choice. + + B. Ahn + +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Princeton’s minor in materials science and engineering emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the study of materials and the engineering applications of their properties. Program participants learn about the breadth of materials, their synthesis and processing, and the structure-property relationships that make materials the foundation of all “hard” technologies — past, present and future. In addition to lecture courses inside and outside the student’s home department, all program participants take a core course in experimental methods, designed to give students experience in both making and characterizing materials. All program participants also engage in significant independent research, culminating in a senior thesis with substantial materials content. The aim of these experiences is to develop critical thinking skills, to apply these to the solutions of current problems and to identify important areas for future work. The program serves as solid preparation for students planning post-Princeton careers in materials-intensive industries, as well as those intending to study materials science and engineering in graduate school.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Admission to the program normally occurs during the spring term of sophomore year or junior year. An application for admission can be obtained from the academic program administrator(link sends email). Upon acceptance into the program, the director of undergraduate studies assists students in planning a program of study and research that emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the materials arena.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Participants in the program will satisfy the degree requirements for their department as well as the course and independent work requirements for the program. A coherent course of study will be developed in conjunction with the program adviser and the director of undergraduate studies and will include program-approved courses outside the student's home department.

        + +

        The program will be designed to expand the student's knowledge of topics essential for the understanding of materials beyond that normally encountered in a single department. Specific program requirements are listed below.

        The Program in Medieval Studies(link is external) encourages the interdisciplinary study of the Middle Ages: its art, literature (Latin and vernacular), music, religion, science, philosophy, politics, and economic and social structures. Supported by the vast resources for medieval studies at Princeton (including an outstanding medieval manuscript collection and the photographic archive known as the Index of Medieval Art), the program sponsors one course: an introductory seminar, and a (noncredit) thesis writers' colloquium for seniors. Other courses directly relevant to medieval studies are listed under the courses section.  

        + +

        Through a flexible model wherein independent work may take various forms and coursework may intersect students' plans of study in various ways, the minor is designed to welcome students with any degree concentration.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The Program in Medieval Studies provides a platform for the study of histories and cultures from roughly the 3rd to the 16th centuries C.E. The program brings together faculty, graduates and undergraduates from various departments and units across the humanities and social sciences, as well as computer sciences and engineering. We offer a capacious minor degree, in which students explore the past through the cutting-edge methods and questions of various contemporary disciplines, including archaeology, biology, art history, computer science, anthropology, literatures and languages, manuscript studies, archival studies, history, religious studies, environmental history, and biology and chemistry. Guided by members of our faculty, students develop individual approaches and techniques to studying cultures of the past and their continued importance today. Courses and independent work prioritize students' direct engagement with primary sources, often working out of Princeton's extraordinary collections. The program prizes scholarly community: undergraduates study in formal collaboration through their senior colloquium and enjoy many opportunities to engage with faculty, graduate students and one another through regular program activities.

        + +

        The minor's multidisciplinary training in the study of history, culture and society fosters students' future work in fields such as media, heritage management, archives and museums, publishing industries, legal studies, public scholarship and academic research.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        During the first or sophomore year, each student who wishes to enroll in the program should take MED 227 The Worlds of the Middle Ages or discuss with the director what other kinds of preparation might be acceptable. At the time of the selection of a major in a department, a student wishing to obtain a minor in medieval studies at graduation should also seek admission to the program from the director. At this time, an online application to the program (accessible from the Medieval Studies website(link is external)) should be filled out and submitted.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        We offer students two pathways to the minor degree.

        + +

        Model 1: Five courses including the introductory course (MED 227 or equivalent) and a 400-level course in which students write a substantive final paper.

        + +

        Model 2: Four courses including the introductory course (MED 227 or equivalent) and substantial independent work (see below).

        + +

        Coursework:

        + +
        • 200-level Introductory Class. MED/HUM/HIS/HLS 227 (Worlds of the Middle Ages), offered in alternate falls, is the designated introductory course for the minor. Students may consult the director for comparably broad introductory course offerings that may be taken instead (e.g., HUM216–217, HIS210, ART228). Students are encouraged to complete their introductory class as early as possible in their course of study. 
          • +
        • At least three additional courses on a medieval topic, taught by faculty in different departments. Students’ coursework should cultivate geographic and cultural range. For courses on medieval topics from East Asia to Iceland, please see the current list of courses at on our website.(link is external)
          • +
        • Students may complete a fifth course at the 400 level (or 500 level with the permission of the instructor) in lieu of independent work, but are also required to present and discuss these projects in the senior thesis colloquium.
          • +

        Normally, students may count at most two courses taken for the minor toward their major. Students with unusual circumstances should speak with the program director about how best to fulfill their minor requirements.

        +
        +
        +

        Language Requirements

        +

        Students are encouraged to study an appropriate source language in the department of their choice. Two semesters of a relevant medieval source language at the 100 level, or one medieval source language course at the 200 level or above, will count as one course toward the minor. Relevant languages include Latin, Classical Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Classical Chinese, Classical Japanese and Persian; for other relevant languages, including possible graduate courses, students should consult with the program director.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        One larger final project on a relevant topic completed in the senior year, amounting to the equivalent of one thesis chapter or more. Project forms include: a departmental senior thesis, a substantive data-based project on primary sources and materials, internships that require intensive work with primary sources. Please discuss the range of possibilities (and Princeton’s own opportunities) with the director. In the senior thesis colloquium, taught by the director of the program, these projects, activities, experiences and expertise will be regularly presented and discussed during senior year.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        Senior Thesis Colloquium

        + +

        Separate from any other departmental requirements, this noncredit colloquium will regularly bring together all seniors in the program in order to discuss issues and strategies related to conducting independent research and writing, such as problems of data collection, organization of ideas and the process of writing. Meetings will take place every other week during the fall semester, and weekly during the spring semester. In addition to discussing research strategies, students will have the opportunity to workshop drafts of their work in progress throughout the year. At the end of the spring semester, students present the results of their research projects to the community in an afternoon mini-conference.

        + We will begin in 476 with the fall of Rome and will end in 1453, with the fall of New Rome (Constantinople). In between, we will trace the different trajectories that the area stretching from Iceland to Iran traveled along over the course of this fateful millennium. We will meet Northern barbarians, Arab armies, Vikings, Crusaders, Mongols, and the Ottomans; we will witness the birth of Islam and medieval Islamic civilization; Charlemagne's creation of the Western Roman empire; will see clashes between Popes and rulers and Caliphs and Muslim religious authorities. We will do all this and more, all the while asking: what were the Middle Ages? + + H. Reimitz, J. Tannous + +

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The minor in the Department of Music invites students to explore a diverse range of fields of study, from composition and electronic music, to musicology, theory, sound studies, music cognition, jazz studies and more. Students pursue work in two loosely defined areas: Culture and Criticism (C&C) and Materials and Making (M&M). M&M encompasses topics usually explored in hands-on, exploratory ways, such as composition, improvisation, theory, analysis and electronic music. The C&C area focuses on the scholarly study of music, from historical and formalist analysis to cognitive science and ethnography. While independent work is not required, there are options for students interested in pursuing private lessons (in composition and electronic music), studies in music cognition (through the Music Cognition Lab), research projects with faculty, or the Music Mentorship program that pairs music undergraduates with graduate students.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Through an open-ended set of course requirements, the minor will introduce students to the wide range of possible fields of study within music and give them the flexibility to forge paths inspired by their own imaginations.

        + +

        It is our goal that the resulting teaching and research afforded by this open-ended minor will continue to expand our core identity beyond the borders of western cultural traditions and provide a vibrant pathway to/through EDI work. Further, we anticipate that this minor will foster more of the interdisciplinary opportunities that are so fundamental and unique to the Princeton experience; by inviting students to bring what they are studying in their majors to bear on our music practices and, in turn, offering new lenses through which they can metabolize their studies in other areas, the potential of music to suggest new modes of thinking, making and learning can be more fully realized.

        + +

        While independent work is not required, there are ample opportunities for students in the music minor to further their classroom work via private lessons in composition and electronic music, studies in music cognition (through the Music Cognition Lab) or research projects with faculty.

        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        There are no prerequisites for entering the program, though MUS 105 is recommended.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students in the Class of 2025 and beyond who wish to pursue the minor in music may declare their intention in the spring semester of their sophomore year, fall semester of their junior year, or spring semester of their junior year.

        Program of Study

        +

        Students pursuing the minor in music must complete the following course requirements:

        + +
        • MUS 105*
          • +
        • One (1) Materials and Making (M&M) course
          • +
        • One (1) Culture and Criticism (C&C) course
          • +
        • Two (2) additional MUS courses.  By petition to the DUS, one of these electives can be outside MUS, though must reflect a coherent plan of study (for instance, a particular psychology course in support of a plan of study focusing on music cognition)
          • +

        *Students placing out of MUS 105 (at the discretion of the instructor) are required to replace it with another MUS elective.

        + +

        A maximum of two courses can be shared in fulfilling requirements for the MUS minor and the student’s major. See the Department of Music website for example pathways through the MUS minor and for lists of C&C and M&M courses. [external links]

        The minor in Music Performance is open to students in the Classes of 2025 and beyond.  Students in the Class of 2024 who are earning the Certificate in Music Performance should consult the archived Undergraduate Announcement for a listing of program requirements.

        + +

        The minor in Music Performance is a rigorous opportunity for students to study the performance of vocal and instrumental music (both jazz and classical) or conducting in the context of a liberal arts education. It provides extensive opportunities for students to hone their skills through participation in department ensembles, recitals, studio instruction and performance classes, and also requires coursework in the Culture and Criticism (C&C) and Materials and Making (M&M) distribution areas. The MPP minor provides a solid foundation for students who may wish to pursue professional music training at the graduate level.

        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The goal of the minor in Music Performance is to provide a solid foundation in collaborative music making for students who may wish to pursue performance training at the graduate level, or to continue to contribute to the creation and support of performance entities in the future. This minor also provides an array of practicum for MUS majors to advance their studies in composition and musicology in a kinetic way.

        Program of Study

        +

        All students in the minor in Music Performance are required to fulfill the following course requirements:

        + +
        • MUS 105*
          • +
        • One (1) Materials and Making course
          • +
        • One (1) Culture and Criticism course
          • +
        • One (1) MPP course
          • +
        • One (1) additional MPP or MUS elective, chosen in consultation with relevant program director +
          • By petition to the relevant program director, one of these electives can be outside MUS, though must reflect a coherent plan of study (i.e., a particular African American studies course in support of a plan of study focusing on Jazz Performance).
            • +
          • +

        *Students placing out of MUS 105 (at the discretion of the instructor) are required to replace it with another MUS elective.

        + +

        A maximum of three courses can be shared in fulfilling requirements for the MPP minor and the student’s major. See the Department of Music website for specific pathways through the MPP minor and for lists of C&C and M&M courses.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        Ensemble participation in an approved faculty-led Music Department Ensemble is required in all four semesters of the junior and senior years. The specific ensemble must be for the instrument and performance tradition for which the student was admitted. For cases in which the department does not offer a faculty-led ensemble for the instrument (e.g., classical piano, classical guitar, conducting), students may audition for a different faculty-led ensemble to fulfill the MPP minor ensemble participation requirement, or may pursue equivalent collaborative assignments as detailed on the Music Department website.

        + +

        Studio lessons are required and must be taken with a Department of Music studio instructor or, if applicable, a program director. More specific parameters will differ depending on the instrument/performance practice for which the student is admitted. Students will have the option to enroll in lessons for credit (MPP298/299) if they want their work in lessons to be specifically reflected on their transcript. Students who choose to do so may NOT count this course toward completion of MPP course requirements.

        + +

        A recital or related program-specific performance is required in senior year, which would be a demonstration of core study with the program approved by both applicable studio instructor and relevant program director.

        + +

        See the Department of Music website for the specific ensemble, lesson and recital requirements for the individual programs: Instrumental/Vocal Performance, Conducting, Vocal Consort, or Jazz Performance.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        Students are encouraged to explore the many study abroad opportunities offered at Princeton. Among these is the unique collaboration Princeton maintains with the Royal College of Music(link is external) in London (link is external), in which students have the opportunity to participate in a five-year double-degree program (A.B. and M.M.). Students spend the fall semester of their junior year in London. Interested current and prospective minors in music performance should email the director of the Program in Music Performance for further details.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The minor in neuroscience at Princeton is designed for Princeton University undergraduate students with a strong interest in the brain but whose primary studies are in a different subject area. The certificate in neuroscience has been serving this function since 2006, but since neuroscience now has a major, transitioning the certificate to a minor is appropriate. The PNI faculty believe that the current requirements of the NEU certificate are sufficient for a minor and have endorsed changing the name without modifications to the requirements. The requirements for the NEU minor are all related to coursework. There is no independent work requirement for the neuroscience certificate.

        + +

        To receive the NEU minor, students must complete six courses. The following introductory courses are required for the NEU minor:

        + +
        • NEU 200 Functional Neuroanatomy or NEU 201 Fundamentals of Neuroscience
          • +
        • NEU 202 Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience
          • +

        Students must also complete four electives. These electives must come from three out of four subject areas. These areas are:

        + +
        • Molecular/Cellular/Disease
          • +
        • Circuits and Systems
          • +
        • Neural Computation
          • +
        • Social and Cognitive Neuroscience
          • +

        NEU electives can only be used to satisfy requirements in one of these categories. A maximum of two NEU electives can be used to satisfy requirements for the student’s departmental major.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The neuroscience minor provides a basic foundation in the scientific study of the brain and biology of behavior through introductory and advanced undergraduate courses. Students learn about different levels of analysis, from the molecular mechanisms of intercellular signaling to the formation and function of neural circuits to the generation of thought and movements via large-scale neural systems. As neuroscience is highly interdisciplinary, this knowledge can be used to generate new ideas and new perspectives in the student’s major.

        + +

        Neuroscience minor learning goals include the following:

        + +
        • Students gain knowledge of the fundamental principles of neuroscience and the nature of the discipline’s challenges and possible solutions.
          • +
        • Students develop skills in critical thinking and scientific problem-solving.
          • +
        • Students develop relationships with classmates across disciplines.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        Students can enroll in the minor the second semester of sophomore year.

        + +

        To enroll in the minor, students must complete as prerequisites either NEU 200 Functional Neuroanatomy or NEU 201 Fundamentals of Neuroscience, along with NEU 202 Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience.

        + +

        Although either will satisfy a prerequisite for the neuroscience minor, only NEU 201 will count as a prerequisite for the major in neuroscience. Students who take NEU 200 and later decide to major in neuroscience will still be required to take NEU 201 (and NEU 200 will count as a NEU elective). Therefore, students who are undecided about whether to pursue a neuroscience major versus a minor are strongly encouraged to take NEU 201.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        In addition to the two prerequisites, all students are expected to take at least four neuroscience electives from three out of four subject areas. These areas include: (1) molecular/cellular/disease; (2) neural computation; (3) systems and circuits; and (4) social and cognitive neuroscience. Students should consult the NEU electives list for a complete list of possibilities.

        + +

        Cross-listed NEU courses will not count twice in the elective total. Courses can only be used one time and in one elective category. A maximum of two courses can be used for the minor and to serve requirements for the student’s major.

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Philosophy is of substantial relevance to work in a great variety of other academic subjects, many of which historically emerged originally as branches of philosophy before achieving the status of separate disciplines. The qualities of mind which the study of philosophy aims to cultivate, and which are most often cited by our alumni as their greatest benefit from majoring in the subject, including especially the ability to think and write in a clear and concise, organized and informed and disciplined way about contentious and often confusing issues, are likely to be of value in some way for virtually all students. The option of minoring in philosophy is intended to offer an opportunity to learn such lessons in a structured way, while leaving the student free to pursue virtually any major academic interest.

        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students must declare their interest in the minor at the latest by the spring semester of junior year.

        + +

        Students should register their interest in pursuing the minor by communicating with the director of undergraduate studies in philosophy (or through a communication with the undergraduate administrator, to be forwarded to the DUS).

        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Five courses in philosophy:

        + +
        • None of which may be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.
          • +
        • No more than one of which may be an approved cognate rather than a course listed or cross-listed with a PHI number.
          • +
        • No more than two of which may be lower-division (200-level) courses, and no more than three of which may come from any single one of the four distribution areas into which philosophy courses are divided in the requirements for majors.
          • +
        • No more than two of the five courses may be used to fulfill the requirements of the student’s major.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        Offered by the Department of Economics(link is external), the minor in quantitative economics allows quantitatively inclined students to gain access to economics, with a course of study that is tailored to their interests and skills. 

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +
        • To provide a course of study for undergraduates whose home department is in the natural sciences, mathematics or engineering and who are interested in economics. 
          • +
        • To provide a path to graduate school for students who do not major in economics. Ph.D. admission in economics typically does not require an undergraduate degree in economics, and some programs even favor degrees in mathematics and the natural sciences, as long as the candidate demonstrates a sufficient background in economics.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        The prerequisites for the minor in quantitative economics are as follows:

        + +
        • MAT 201: Multivariable Calculus, or one of the following accepted equivalents:  ECO 201, EGR 156, MAT 203
          • +
        • MAT 202: Linear Algebra, or one of the following accepted course equivalents: EGR 154, MAT 204.  Linear algebra is essential for many elective courses.
          • +
        • ECO 202 or ORF 245 Statistics.  
          • +
        • All prerequisite courses must be completed by the end of sophomore year, with a minimum grade of "C" in each.
          • +

        Please note that for the Class of 2025, we will accept MAT 175 as a course equivalent to MAT 201, as long as the student achieved a grade of A- or better. 

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students wishing to apply for the minor must submit their applications by the beginning of  junior year.  For students in the Class of 2025, applications should be submitted by Monday, September 18, 2023. The department will post a form on its website where students can apply.

        + +

        Students should complete at least one of the required core courses by the end of their junior year. Ideally, both core courses should be completed in junior year, but it is possible to complete the minor with just one of the core courses completed in junior year and the other in senior year.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Required Core Courses

        + +

        Two of the three math-track intermediate courses: ECO 310, ECO 311, ECO 312.

        + +

        Elective Courses

        + +

        Three elective courses from the following group of courses:

        + +
        • ECO 313: Econometric Applications
          • +
        • ECO 315: Topics in Macroeconomics
          • +
        • ECO 317: The Economics of Uncertainty
          • +
        • ECO 323: Market Failures and Policy Responses

        • COS 445: Economics and Computing
          • +
        • ORF 405: Regression and Applied Time Series
          • +

        In addition, students may substitute more advanced courses (graduate courses) for any of the above, with the approval of the program director.

        + +

        Students may only count a maximum of two courses toward the minor in quantitative economics and their major.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        There is no independent work requirement for the minor in quantitative economics.

        +
        +
        +

        Preparation for Graduate Study

        +

        This minor will provide a path to graduate study for students who do not major in economics. Ph.D. admission in economics typically does not require an undergraduate degree in economics, and some programs even favor degrees in mathematics and the natural sciences, as long as the candidate demonstrates a sufficient background in economics.

        Courses

        +
        + + +

        + ECO 100 - Introduction to Microeconomics + + Fall/Spring + SA + +

        + +
        + Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources. The subject of this course is microeconomics, which examines the decision making of individuals and firms with regard to consumption, production, and allocation of good and services in a market system. We examine the benchmark "perfectly competitive" market setting as well as market settings that are not perfectly competitive. We discuss the appropriate role of government in addressing these "market failures". Two one-hour lectures, and one precept. + + K. Noonan, L. Boustan + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 101 - Introduction to Macroeconomics + + Fall/Spring + SA + +

        + +
        + The theory, and some of the evidence, of how and why national economies fluctuate, with periods of boom and bust, and periods of high and low inflation. Substantial emphasis is given to fiscal policy and monetary policy and the ensuing recessions in the US and abroad. Attention is also paid to international economic issues and to problems of economic growth. Special attention will be paid to the effects and implications of the pandemic and its aftermath for the economy and for policy. Two lectures, one precept. + + H. Zhao, R. Rogerson + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 202 - Statistics and Data Analysis for Economics + + Fall/Spring + QCR + +

        + +
        + An introduction to probability and statistical methods for empirical work in economics. Descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, sampling, estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, introduction to the regression model. The class uses STATA as statistical software package. Prerequisite: MAT 103. Two 90-minute classes, one precept. + + O. Torres-Reyna, U. Mueller + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 300 - Microeconomic Theory + + Fall/Spring + SA + +

        + +
        + This course builds on your knowledge of microeconomics from ECO 100. The general themes are (1) choices made by individual consumers and firms, (2) equilibrium from the interaction of these choices in markets or similar institutions, and (3) the role of government policy in improving economic outcomes. In each case, the analysis will be more in depth than it was in ECO 100. Some new concepts and techniques will be developed, especially for studying behavior under uncertainty, and strategic interactions (game theory).Prerequisites: 100, MAT 175 or equivalent. Two 90-minute lectures, and one precept. + + A. Wilson, S. Chassang + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 301 - Macroeconomics + + Fall/Spring + SA + +

        + +
        + The determinants of national income, unemployment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. Includes analyses of business cycles, monetary and fiscal policies, consumption, investment, economic growth, and issues in international monetary macroeconomics. Two lectures, one precept. Prerequisites: ECO100 and ECO101. + + I. Zaidi + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 302 - Econometrics + + Fall/Spring + QCR + +

        + +
        + The objective of this course is to prepare students for basic empirical work in economics. In particular, topics will include basic data analysis, regression analysis, testing, and forecasting. Students will be provided with the opportunity to use actual economic data to test economic theories. Prerequisites: 100 or 101, and 202, or ORF 245; MAT 103 or equivalent. Two 90-minute classes and one precept. + + B. Honoré + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 310 - Microeconomic Theory: A Mathematical Approach + + Fall/Spring + SA + +

        + +
        + Topics include consumer and firm behavior, market equilibrium, efficiency, an introduction to game theory, and information economics. Uses multivariable calculus and linear algebra to treat the topics in greater depth and to better prepare for advanced courses. Prerequisites: MAT 201 or ECO 201, or instructor permission. Two lectures, one precept. + + C. Urgun, A. Wilson + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 311 - Macroeconomics: A Mathematical Approach + + Spring + SA + +

        + +
        + This course examines the determinants of economic growth, business cycle fluctuations, and the conduct of monetary and fiscal policy. The first part of the course develops a framework for the analysis of households' consumption and savings behavior and firms' production decisions, and uses that to analyze long-run growth and financial crises. The second part of the course extends that analysis to examine business cycle fluctuations, including inflation, unemployment. Current issues in macroeconomic and financial policy are discussed throughout. Prerequisites: MAT 201 or ECO 201, or instructor permission. Two lectures, one precept. + + C. Mantovani + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 312 - Econometrics: A Mathematical Approach + + Fall/Spring + QCR + +

        + +
        + Statistical analysis of economic data. The two-variable regression model, multiple regression. Techniques for dealing with violations of the regression model's assumptions, including autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity, specification error, and measurement error. Dummy variables, discrete-choice models, time series models, and forecasting. Introduction to simultaneous equations. Estimation and testing of economic models will be an important part of the course. Prerequisites: MAT 201 or equivalent and ECO 202 or equivalent or instructor permission. MAT 202 is recommended. Two 90-minute lectures, one precept. + + L. Kosenkova, F. Gunsilius, M. Kolesár + +
        + + + +

        + ECO 313 - Econometric Applications + + Spring + QCR + +

        + +

        Language Requirements

        +

        Students who seek a more advanced level of language competence are encouraged to contact the Slavic Department and choose Slavic as a minor, or major. To fulfill the language requirement students must pass the proficiency test administered by the Slavic Department (or, for the languages other than Slavic, by a language specialist in that language), or complete the appropriate 102 (for non-heritage)/103 (for heritage speakers) language course.

        +
        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        Students pursuing the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies minor are expected to combine classwork with study abroad for a term or a summer to sharpen their language skills, conduct independent research, and, in general, gain a better appreciation of at least one country and culture in Eurasia. Summer internships abroad, partly subsidized by the program or the University, are also highly encouraged.

        Slavic Languages and Cultures

        + +

        The Slavic department welcomes students who are interested in developing a critically informed appreciation for the literature and culture of Russia and the Slavic world. Our majors attain a high level of proficiency that allows them to work with both primary and secondary sources in the target language (BCS, Czech, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian).

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +
        • To attain a high level of proficiency in the languages offered by the Slavic department (BCS, Czech, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian) and obtain a critical understanding of the Slavic cultural tradition through the examination of original sources. 
          • +
        • To pursue an effective pathway of well-assorted and well-balanced courses in the Slavic cultural traditions that allows the students who major in other departments to enhance their knowledge. 
          • +
        • To increase the students’ competitiveness with respect to their future career plans, whether in law, medical fields, business, government, nonprofit organizations, consulting firms or humanities fields such as theater, art and curatorial work. 
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +
        • RUS 107 (or RUS 108 for heritage speakers of Russian).
          • +
        • RUS 207 (or a 300-level course for heritage speakers of Russian).
          • +
        • Three Slavic department courses beyond RUS 207, of which at least one must be conducted in Russian.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Undergraduates who are not Slavic majors are encouraged to pursue a minor in Slavic Languages and Literatures and undertake a focused exploration of our language and cultural traditions (BCS, Czech, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian).

        + +

        In order to receive a minor, students must take five courses:

        + +
        • RUS 107 (or RUS 108 for heritage speakers of Russian).
          • +
        • RUS 207 (or a 300-level course for heritage speakers of Russian).
          • +
        • Three Slavic department courses beyond RUS 207, of which at least one must be conducted in Russian.
          • +

        No independent work is required. 

        + +

        Comparable requirements will be substituted for students wishing to focus on other Slavic languages (BCS, Czech, or Polish). It is allowed to substitute the Center for Digital Humanities’ course, Introduction to Data and Culture, for one of the SLA departmental courses, assuming that materials from Slavic traditions are examined.

        + +

        Students are encouraged to declare a Slavic minor by contacting the Department Undergraduate Coordinator Jessica Heslin (heslin@princeton.edu(link sends email)) in the spring of their sophomore year, but they may do so through the spring of their junior year.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The minor in South Asian studies, under the auspices of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, offers students the methodological and theoretical tools to study the political, economic, social, cultural and religious institutions and practices of the region currently organized into the nation-states of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.

        + +

        Hindi, Urdu and Sanskrit. The minor in South Asian studies offers a four-term sequence of language instruction in Hindi, Urdu and Sanskrit. Completion of all four terms of a language will satisfy the University language requirement. All language instruction is offered with an emphasis on gaining knowledge of the cultural context of South Asia, with Hindi and Urdu instruction focusing on speaking, reading and writing, and Sanskrit instruction focusing on reading and interpreting a variety of traditional literary genres. The minor encourages students to take advantage of intensive summer language programs and of the numerous opportunities to study or travel in South Asia, including a semester or year abroad. For more information, contact the Office of International Programs.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The primary pedagogical goal of the minor is to give students the resources and training to understand and critically engage with the historical, social, political and cultural dynamics particular to the South Asian region and to its substantial diaspora. Additionally, the minor in South Asian studies aims to help students integrate knowledge of the specificity of South Asia as part of a larger world into the disciplinary fields in which they are majoring (humanities, sciences, social sciences, engineering, etc.).

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students majoring in any department may enter the minor program with permission from the program director. A student normally enters the program at the end of sophomore year, although entrance in the fall of junior year is not precluded. Students in the departments of anthropology, history, politics, religion, sociology, comparative literature or the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs may find that their studies mesh particularly well with the requirements of the minor program. Majors in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs should consult the SAS program manager to ensure that the minor can correspond to the relevant regional field requirements in SPIA.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        + +
        1. Successful completion of HIN, URD or SAN 107 (usually representing four semesters of study). Students who place out of this requirement should substitute a higher-level language course or, with the program director's permission, another course in South Asian studies. See the program director to discuss using a language other than Hindi, Urdu or Sanskrit to fulfill the program's language requirement.
          2. +
        2. Successful completion of the Introduction to South Asian Studies core course. Students are ordinarily expected to take this class in their junior year, though it may be taken in sophomore or senior year.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The Undergraduate Minor Program in Statistics and Machine Learning is designed for students, majoring in any department, who have a strong interest in data analysis and its application across disciplines. Statistics and machine learning, the academic disciplines centered around developing and understanding data analysis tools, play an essential role in various scientific fields including biology, engineering and the social sciences. This new field of “data science” is interdisciplinary, merging contributions from a variety of disciplines to address numerous applied problems. Examples of data analysis problems include analyzing massive quantities of text and images, modeling cellular-biological processes, pricing financial assets, evaluating the efficacy of public policy programs and forecasting election outcomes. In addition to its importance in scientific research and policymaking, the study of data analysis comes with its own theoretical challenges, such as the development of methods and algorithms for making reliable inferences from high-dimensional and heterogeneous data. The program provides students with a set of tools required for addressing these emerging challenges. Through the program, students will learn basic theoretical frameworks and also leave them equipped to apply statistics and machine learning methods to many problems of interest.

        + +

        Enrolled students will learn the basic principles of statistics and machine learning and how to apply these methods to data-driven problems. This requires students to master core conceptual and theoretical frameworks, a selection of core methods and best practices for sound data analysis.

        + +

        A minor in statistics and machine learning has the potential to complement a wide variety of majors. Statistics and machine learning methods play an essential role across all fields where data are critical for principled knowledge discovery. The training provided by the minor will enhance students' ability to contribute new approaches and knowledge to their major field.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Students will learn basic conceptual and theoretical frameworks, best practices and a set of tools, which together equip them to correctly apply statistics and machine learning methods in various domains. This knowledge will enhance the student academic experience by opening pathways for students to apply well-grounded data analysis methods in their senior independent work, theses and also beyond Princeton as they navigate their way through an increasingly data-driven world.

        Prerequisites

        +

        Coding

        + +

        (Normally completed by the end of sophomore year)

        + +

        COS 126/POL 345/SML 201

        + +

        COS 126 provides comprehensive coverage of coding principles. A student can also learn coding in R(1) within the narrower contexts of statistics (POL 345) or data science (SML 201). It is recommended that all students continue to hone their coding by learning Python(1) through co-curricular coding courses.

        + +

        Mathematics

        + +

        (Normally completed before the spring semester of junior year)

        + +

        Linear Algebra: MAT 202/EGR 154/SML 305(2)(3)

        + +

        Calculus: MAT 201 or (MAT 103, then SML 305)

        + +

        Probability

        + +

        Taking one of the approved core statistics courses provides a basic understanding of probability. An additional course from ORF 309/SML 305 is strongly recommended for students interested in advanced machine learning courses.

        + +

        Notes:

        + +

        (1) Python and R are the most frequent coding languages in statistics and machine learning.

        + +

        (2) SML 305 covers the key aspects of linear algebra, differential calculus and probability, most relevant to statistics and machine learning courses.

        + +

        (3) SML 305 will not count toward the minor program.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students are encouraged to enroll in the spring of their sophomore year, but no later than the start of their senior year.

        + +

        For enrollment in the minor program, it is required to have your major declared beforehand.

        + +

        Please use this form to enroll: Minor Enrollment Application(link is external).

        + +

        For questions, contact us at smlminor@princeton.edu(link sends email).

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Students must take five courses from approved lists and earn a grade of B- or better in each course (pass/D/fail or advanced placement are not allowed). With permission, advanced students can take approved graduate-level courses.

        + +

        Required Course Work:

        + +
        • One statistics course from an approved list.
          • +
        • One machine learning course from an approved list.
          • +
        • Three additional courses from the approved list of elective courses or (with approval) additional non-cognate courses from the statistics and machine learning approved lists.
          • +

        Students may count a maximum of two courses from their major toward the minor.

        + +

        Independent Work:

        + +

        Students are required to complete at least one semester of independent work in their junior or senior year on a topic that applies SML methods or investigates these methods. This work may be used to satisfy the IW requirement of the SML minor and the student's major. All work will be reviewed by the Statistics and Machine Learning Minor committee. In May, there will be an (online) poster session in which students must present their independent work to other students, researchers and the faculty. Students must adhere to submission due dates for independent work papers and poster requirements.

        + +

        Students are encouraged to attend the CSML-sponsored or co-sponsored colloquia and seminars.

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        Students are required to complete a thesis or at least one semester of independent work in their junior or senior year on a topic that makes substantial application or study of machine learning or statistics. Typically, this is achieved in one of two ways: via applied work or via a core methodological contribution.

        + +

        Applied projects should tackle some domain of intellectual interest in science, engineering, the humanities, etc. The project should use machine learning or statistical methods in a nontrivial way to analyze the data or in support of an engineering goal. The project report should go into detail about what these methods were and how they were used.

        + +

        This work may be used to satisfy the requirements of both the SML minor program and the student's major. All work will be reviewed by the Statistics and Machine Learning Minor committee. In May, students are required to submit their independent work paper, poster and a brief video of their work. Students must adhere to submission due dates for independent work papers and poster requirements. 

        + +

        +
        +

        Study Abroad

        +

        Students in the SML undergraduate minor can utilize up to two non–Princeton/study abroad courses for the SML minor, with proper approval.

        + +

        An equivalent course needs to be offered at Princeton University and that course needs to be on the SML-approved course list. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain approval and signoff from the faculty member teaching that course. SML cannot sign off on a course that is not our course. Our courses are SML 201, 310, 312, etc.

        + +

        Once you receive approval and the signature from the appropriate faculty member, please forward the signed form to smlminor@princeton.edu(link sends email) for the CSML program director to sign off.

        + +

        Please plan and leave enough time to obtain these signatures and approvals.
        + 
        Example: You would like to take a course at another university that is comparable to ORF 245 – Fundamentals of Statistics. The faculty member teaching ORF 245 must sign off since they are the one that can verify the course is similar to the one they teach. Once that faculty signs off, email the signed forms to smlminor@princeton.edu(link sends email) for CSML program director’s signature.
        + 
        Example: You would like to take a course at another University and there is not an equivalent course offered at Princeton University. SML cannot approve the course and it cannot be used for the SML minor.

        The Program in Theater and Music Theater welcomes all students interested in exploring theater and music theater, with or without previous experience. We approach theater and music theater from a liberal arts perspective— as intensely collaborative art forms, as key components of world cultures and as performance genres that shape and are shaped by history, economics, politics and technology. We research, study and perform theater, from classic plays, operas and musicals to contemporary, experimental and devised plays, performances and musicals. We offer a wide-ranging, innovative and student-initiated season of theatrical explorations, produced in collaboration with professional artists and craftspeople. Our season centers on community-building and the creation of original work, in which all students can participate, We encourage artistic and academic investigations of theater and music theater in conversation with every other area of study.

        + +

        Our program is open to students of all backgrounds. Most courses are open enrollment; we also offer advanced courses that prepare a student for graduate education to pursue advanced training and scholarship. We offer more than 20 courses per year, including writing, performance, directing, music directing, design, community engaged theater, dramaturgy, performance history, performance theory and criticism. For students interested in pursuing a minor, we offer four suggested pathways through our curriculum: Theater Making, Music Theater, Performance Studies, and Community Engaged Theater. Many courses are cross-listed with other departments and programs, including African American studies, American studies, creative writing, dance, English, gender and sexuality studies, and visual arts. Most theater and music theater courses fulfill the Literature and Arts (LA) requirement, and other THR and MTD courses also fulfill Ethical Thought and Moral Values (EM), Social Analysis (SA), Culture and Difference (CD) and/or Historical Analysis (HA) distribution requirements.

        + +

        In addition to our courses and theater-making season, core faculty and visiting guest artists and scholars and the Princeton Arts Fellows offer workshops and co-curricular classes and join students in community conversations.

        + +

        Students benefit from the support of our professional staff in music, costumes, scenery, light, sound, stage management and producing. We sponsor trips to theatrical productions in New York, Trenton, New Brunswick and Philadelphia and provide opportunities for observation of theater making in collaboration with a variety of partners. We build community inside and outside of the University through our theater-making season and our Try On Theater days, through the Princeton Playhouse Choir and Ensemble, through volunteering or paid fellowships with Trenton Youth Theater, and through our relationships with professional theaters and off-campus organizations including the McCarter Theater, Passage Theater and the Public Theater. We offer summer internships and summer research funding through the Lewis Center for the Arts. We encourage students to study abroad; students interested in exploring conservatory training can attend the London Academy of Dramatic Arts for a semester, typically fall semester of junior year.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        We believe that the study of theater cultivates the exploration and integration of the body, the mind, and lived experience through a uniquely collaborative lens. Our goals for student learning are to engage all Princeton students in theater and music theater through creation, performance and study; to familiarize students with the role that theater and performance have played and could play in many cultures; and to further the field in collaboration with our students through research, innovation and engagement with leading artists and scholars. Our program centers on original creation, collaboration and community-engaged learning, in connection with every other artistic and academic field. All of our theater making operates on the principle that rigorous artistic practice is a form of research, innovation, discovery and intervention.

        Prerequisites

        +

        There are no prerequisites for most theater and music theater courses. There are also no prerequisites for declaring a minor in theater and music theater. However, students must take THR/MTD 101 and one additional course, and complete their student show support requirements by the end of junior year to continue into the senior year of the minor. Students may begin taking courses toward their minor and fulfilling show support requirements during their first year at Princeton.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        The theater and music theater minor is open to all students who are interested in committing to theater and/or music theater practice and scholarship in their junior and senior years. No application, audition or portfolio submissions are required to enter the minor program. Students must register for the minor before course enrollment begins for spring semester junior year (toward the end of the junior fall semester). In order to proceed to the senior year of the minor, students must have completed THR/MTD 101 and one additional course, as well as show support requirements. Students who fail to complete these requirements by the end of junior year will not be able to complete the minor.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Coursework

        + +

        A total of five courses are required:

        + +
        • THR/MTD 101 (Introduction to Theater Making), which must be taken before senior year.
          • +
        • Two additional courses in THR or MTD or cross-listed with THR or MTD.
          • +
        • Two additional courses from THR, MTD, DAN, MUS, or another relevant cognate.
          • +
        • At least one of the selected courses must have a dramaturgical or performance analysis (DPA) component. A list of current courses that would satisfy this requirement is made available annually through the program. This list is reviewed and updated annually by the program director and theater faculty. Additional courses may be proposed to the program director for approval to satisfy the DPA course.
          • +
        • Up to two of these five courses may be double-counted toward the student’s major.
          • +

        Senior year independent work for the minor is optional.

        + +

        While students may take THR 451 more than once, participation in THR 451 can only count toward the minor once.

        +
        +
        +

        Additional Requirements

        +

        All theater and music theater minors must complete show support requirements — participating in a nonperforming role on one or two program projects — no later than the end of junior year. This requirement introduces students to the many facets of theater making beyond performance and enhances their collaborative skills with faculty and staff mentorship. All program minors are expected to read the weekly program informational announcement, which provides pertinent deadlines, opportunities and important announcements. All minors are also expected to participate in the program’s annual opening community Try on Theater Day (typically held the evening of the first day of classes), and our annual closing reflective community conversation, guided by that year’s graduating seniors (typically held in the days after Dean’s Date for the spring semester).

        Preparation for Graduate Study

        +

        The theater and music theater program offers advanced courses and co-curricular activities that will allow a student to move into graduate education to pursue advanced training or scholarship.

        Additional Information

        +

        Juniors working toward a minor who elect to participate in a series of program meetings and initiate an independent research process are invited to suggest projects (including original work of their own) and share particular interests toward co-creating the season of theater making in their senior year. A rotating panel of faculty and staff curates a season that engages the curricular and research interests, priorities and expertise of program faculty, visiting artists and rising seniors who have completed the research process.

        + +

        Juniors working toward a minor may also apply to complete an optional senior year independent research project. Research projects might include writing a paper, composing an original work of theater or music theater, developing a solo performance practice or exploring other modes of independent creative enquiry. Successful applicants will work with a faculty adviser during their senior year and will be expected to offer a one-evening public research presentation to share their work-in-process with the broader Lewis Center community. These independent research project presentations can be theatrical in nature, but will not be offered significant staff support or production resources.

        + +

        Issues of translation and intercultural communication arise everywhere in the contemporary world. What makes a good translation? Are there different kinds of “good translations” for different circumstances? How do multilingual speakers navigate their languages, and how do translators and interpreters deal with the challenges presented by multilingual texts and contexts? How — and how well — does machine translation work? What are the challenges for sign language interpretation? How does one translate the language of a poem or a play?

        + +

        The Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC) takes linguistic translation as its base and offers a diverse set of undergraduate courses that allow students to develop an understanding of translation from varied perspectives. Most courses are taught by faculty in humanities departments, but we also consider the ways translation functions in the social sciences, the hard sciences, the arts, and engineering. At PTIC, we recognize translation as crucial to the production and circulation of work in all fields, and to our everyday lives as inhabitants of a multilingual and interconnected world. Undergraduates in our program have pursued majors in departments including anthropology, comparative literature, ecology and evolutionary biology, history, Near Eastern studies, operations research and financial engineering, politics, and many more. We encourage students from all departments and disciplines to explore our offerings, regardless of their prior experience with translation.

        + +

        Among PTIC’s goals are connecting translators with one another and encouraging them to use their talents and energies in the service of the wider community. Beyond campus, PTIC supports activities that seek to link the academic community with voluntary and professional groups serving a wide variety of organizations with translation needs, including the New Jersey judiciary, the United Nations, and literary publishing enterprises. 

        + +

        PTIC’s programming also includes regular events, conferences and winter session translation workshops. Each semester PTIC hosts a visiting translator in residence, who shares their real-world experiences of life and work as a translator with the program’s students and the broader Princeton community. The program also supports student translation projects with summer funding. 

        + +

        PTIC offers a minor to undergraduates who develop skills in language use and an understanding of the complexity of communicating across linguistic and cultural borders. For more information about prerequisites, admission to the program and the program’s course of study, including independent work, please read on.

        + +

        Note: The Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication does not offer translator training.

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        The learning goals for the minor in translation and intercultural communication are:

        + +
        • To give students vital tools for thinking about the centrality of translation across academic disciplines and realms of human experience.
          • +
        • To help students gain a deeper understanding of the specific ways in which translation impacts their own lives and chosen fields of study.
          • +
        +
        +
        +

        Prerequisites

        +

        Before entering the minor, students should normally have satisfied the University’s language requirement for general education (i.e., completed or demonstrated proficiency in a language sequence through 107/108). Native or near-native fluency in a language not offered by the University can also be counted toward the language prerequisite of PTIC.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Students normally declare the minor between spring of sophomore year and spring of junior year. There is no formal application to the minor. Interested students should contact the program director, Prof. Karen Emmerich (karene@princeton.edu(link sends email)), or the program administrator, Yolanda Sullivan (ysullivan@princeton.edu(link sends email)). Both the director and administrator can provide more information about the program, help students create a personalized program of study, register their intent to complete the minor, and help track their progress.

        +
        +
        +

        Program of Study

        +

        All students who wish to earn a minor in translation and intercultural communication must successfully complete the following program requirements. While each student is invited to design their own path through the program, their specific course of study must be approved by the program director.

        + +

        The program’s two core courses:

        + +
        • TRA 200 Thinking Translation: Language Transfer and Cultural Communication
          • +
        • TRA 400 Translation, Migration, Culture
          • +

        Students are encouraged but not required to complete TRA 200 prior to enrolling in TRA 400.

        + +

        Three additional courses at the 200 level or above from at least two of the following three categories:

        + +
        • Any course listed or cross-listed by the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication.
          • +
        • Upper-level courses focusing on translation between languages (examples include SPA 380, FRE 407, ARA 308, CWR 206, and CWR 306).
          • +
        • Courses that contribute to an understanding of some aspect of translation (from disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, history, comparative literature, computer science, etc.; examples include ANT 326, COM 236, HIS 397, ITA 300, LIN 201, NES 398, and PHI 317).
          • +

        Students are encouraged to consult the program director when planning their individualized course of study, and they are required to obtain the director’s approval of courses they wish to count toward the third of these three categories. Typically, no more than two courses will be allowed to double-count with a student’s major.

        +
        +
        +

        Language Requirements

        +

        While students pursuing the minor are only required to complete or test out of the University’s language requirement, they are strongly encouraged to continue their language study at the 200 level and above. They are also encouraged to seek out immersive environments in which to hone and develop their linguistic skills, as well as to gain crucial cultural knowledge; this might take the shape of a semester or summer abroad, or time spent in an immersive non-English environment within the United States.

        +

        Students pursuing the minor must engage either in a substantial (15–20 page or more) project of translation or interpretation, or a project in translation studies. Students are encouraged to discuss their ideas with the program director before embarking on the project.

        + +
        1. A practical translation project can take the form of a written translation with critical reflection on the process and product, or formal or informal interpreting work done on a volunteer or professional basis, again with written reflection on the same. This translation may be completed as part of a student’s coursework, or as part of their independent work for their department (JP or thesis), but it must be submitted separately to the program director for approval.
          +  
          2. +
        2. A project in translation studies is a substantial piece of independent research that, while not itself a translation, engages with some aspect of translation from a theoretical, historical or computational perspective. As with a practical translation project, a project in translation studies may be completed as part of a student’s coursework, or as part of their independent work for their department (JP or thesis), but it must be submitted separately to the program director for approval.

        + +
        + What is translation? What is a language? So essential and widespread is translation today that it has become a central analytic term for the contact of cultures, and a paradigm for studying many different aspects of our multilingual world. This course will consider translation as it appeared in the past, but especially as it constructs everyday life in the contemporary world. It will look at issues of anthropology, artificial intelligence, diplomacy, film, law and literature that involve interlingual and intercultural communication. Students should acquire an understanding of the problems and practices of modern translation. + + M. Weiss + +

        + Translation is at the core of our engagement with China, Japan, and Korea, influencing our reading choices and shaping our understanding of East Asia. From translations of the classics to the grass-root subtitling of contemporary Anime movies, from the formation of the modern East Asian cultural discourse to cross-cultural references in theater and film, the seminar poses fundamental questions to our encounters with East Asian cultural artifacts, reflecting on what "translation" of "original works" means in a global world where the "original" is often already located in its projected "translation." + + M.

        Minor
        +
        + +

        The interdisciplinary minor in values and public life, offered by the University Center for Human Values, focuses on modes of inquiry into important ethical issues in public life. The program helps students develop competence in pursuing such inquiries generally and supports them in applying these intellectual skills to the advanced analysis of one or more related topics. Students who complete the minor will be equipped to bring informed discussion of values into the public sphere and to integrate a critical value perspective into their future studies and pursuits. The minor is open to rising juniors intending to major in any discipline.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Through courses, independent work and workshops, students learn to bring informed discussion of values into the public sphere and to integrate a critical value perspective into their studies and pursuits. Its requirements include general approaches to the field of ethics and public affairs, while also offering students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of a particular area of focus. Students from any University major may apply.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Admission to the program requires an enrollment essay outlining the student's rationale for completing the minor, area of interest, and plan for fulfilling the requirements. Students interested in applying to the program are advised to consult the website for a full description. They are also encouraged to schedule a meeting with the program director, who can discuss the minor and the ways it might support the student’s major and specific areas of interest.

        + +

        Students will be considered for admission upon meeting the following prerequisites: submission of the enrollment essay; submission of the name of an academic referee; and a minimum GPA of 3.0 overall. We recommend (though do not require) that students complete one of the core courses by the end of sophomore year.

        + +

        Students are normally accepted in the second semester of their sophomore year to enter the program as juniors, and must apply by a deadline announced each spring. In exceptional cases, juniors may be accepted into the program at the director's discretion. For more information on the application process and current deadlines for the Program in Values and Public Life, please visit the program's website(link is external).

          • +
        • Cognitive Psychology, Ethics, and Public Policy
          • +

        +
        +
        +

        Independent Work

        +

        Students will write a senior thesis, a portion of a senior thesis (or, in exceptional circumstances, another substantial piece of independent work) on a normative topic approved by both the director of the program and the normal procedures of the student's department of concentration. The thesis will be written according to the department regulations of the student's major. Students will be expected to participate in non-credit-bearing senior thesis workshops convened by the minor that discuss the different aspects of ethical study presented in the participants’ projects and that support the writing of the thesis.

        The Program in Visual Arts(link is external), part of the Lewis Center for the Arts,(link is external) encourages undergraduates to explore visual art and media while developing their creative skills under the aegis of a liberal arts education. Courses are offered in drawing, filmmaking, graphic design, media, painting, photography and sculpture. Studio courses emphasize direct, hands-on art making under the guidance of practicing contemporary artists.

        + +

        Most courses in the program are open to all students at Princeton. A few courses are by application only, and a few are reserved for VIS minors and students in the Practice of Art track only. Most courses are letter graded (not pass/D/fail) and may be taken in fulfillment of the distribution requirement in literature and arts. Some summer courses and study abroad may qualify for credit for Practice of Art students, visual arts program minor students, and applicants for the visual arts program minor who have previously completed at least one VIS course. AP credit is not accepted.

        + +

        For students interested in pursuing a thesis in studio arts or film production, there are two pathways. The first is Practice of Art, a track offered by the Department of Art and Archaeology and administered by the Program in Visual Arts. The second option is a visual arts minor earned in addition to a student's departmental major.

        +
        +

        Goals for Student Learning

        +

        Students in the Practice of Art track or engaged in the visual art minor will learn strategies and skills for making artworks from conception to exhibition. In classes, students will be introduced to contemporary and historical figures in art as precedents for their own projects. Instructors commonly employ prompts for assignments that build students’ conceptual rigor and technical proficiency. Students will learn analysis of visual art by engaging in peer critique sessions and through presentations by visiting artists. Independent studio work required for the visual arts minor encourages students to synthesize their curiosity with their lived experience to make artworks that can cohere into an exhibition. This is the work that professional artists do. Over the course of two years in the visual arts program, students will learn techniques to translate material into symbolic form and how to expand their ideas into conceptual frameworks.

        +
        +
        +

        Admission to the Program

        +

        Admission to the visual arts minor is selective. During the first week following spring break, sophomores submit an application and a portfolio of creative work to the Lewis Center for the Arts administrative office. By early April, the admissions committee will notify those students who have been accepted into the program. For specific prerequisites, please see the individual areas below.

        +

        Program of Study

        +

        Practice of Art Track in the Department of Art and Archaeology

        + +

        Practice of Art is an intensive studio concentration in the visual arts that culminates in a creative senior thesis. For program requirements, see the Practice of Art description under the Department of Art and Archaeology. Students who declare a Practice of Art track are granted admission into the visual arts minor. If a student decides to change their focus from the Practice of Art, they must re-apply for the visual arts minor.

        + +

        The Visual Arts Minor

        + +

        A visual arts minor will be awarded to students concentrating in another academic department who successfully complete a substantial program of studio work in art or film production and a minimal supplement of seminars and art history courses. Students interested in applying for the visual arts minor should submit a portfolio in the spring term of sophomore year. Students must have completed at least one visual arts studio or film production course before being admitted to the program. One course in the Department of Art and Archaeology is also highly recommended.

        + +
