    Avg. Financial Aid
Reed College is highly structured and extremely rigorous. The four basic elements the required humanities sequence, the breadth of study requirement, junior qualifying examinations, and the senior thesis mix a strong component of interdisciplinary work with study of traditional majors. 1st and 2nd-year students at RC develop a strong background in humanistic and scientific study. The junior and senior years provide opportunity for intensive examination of the subject matter and techniques of a more narrowly defined academic discipline, culminating in the senior research project and thesis. At Reed we believe the balance of a general and more specialized education is best achieved where students and faculty members work closely together.
