These are two credit tutorial offerings taken outside of a student's chosen major to further emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of a true liberal arts ideal. A directed reading may be either faculty designed or student designed under a faculty member's supervision. A directed reading tutorial consists of the compilation of a semester-long reading list relative to a chosen interdisciplinary topic and at least bi-weekly faculty member(s)/student discussions of these readings during the course of the tutorial. The director of the DBSP must approve directed reading proposals.
