Writing

You’ll explore creative, journalistic, and analytical writing, and do an internship in print/online publishing, marketing, advertising, film, business, or other related sectors.

Pre-Law

We conduct open forums and panels for pre-law students, sponsor talks by guest speakers in the legal profession on law-related topics, invite guest speakers to address issues dealing with admission to law school, and arrange field trips to law firms and law schools.

Religious Studies

Learn to understand and compare the many religious expressions of humankind. Although the study of religion requires a certain subjective sensitivity to the religious mindset, it seeks to transcend subjective empathy in the pursuit of objective analysis.

Philosophy

Ask questions about reality, knowledge and conduct, and experience the hidden power of these basic human questions. We’ll explore ancient and modern realms of metaphysics, epistemology, logic, and ethics, as well as questions on the nature of politics, society, law, medicine, and art.

Build linguistic and cultural awareness to experience the world differently as you study Spanish, French, Italian or German. By studying language, literature, civilization and film, you will begin your own journey through the myriad cultures of the planet.

Journalism

Our program will prepare you to succeed in an industry that’s undergoing a global transformation. Internships at metro newspapers, magazines and online news organizations build connections that lead to jobs. There’s no better place to study the craft than New York City, the media capital of the world.

Interdisciplinary Studies

Do your interests span multiple departments and areas of study? Maybe creating your own major is for you. Build a rigorous program of study to investigate interdisciplinary topics, problems, and questions.

History

Studying history will prepare you to respond to breaking global news and to debate conflicting views. Using newspapers, films, novels, and legal documents, you’ll learn how to argue persuasively, read and research carefully and write creatively.

Government & Politics

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it’s crucial that you understand the democratic system and other forms of governance. You’ll develop reasoning and analytical skills and build competence in oral and written expression.
