Really BIG thinking—
starts at the beginning
Exciting new first-year classes about global issues!
We want you to be ready to help solve the problems that are facing our planet—during school and after you graduate. That's why we are delighted to introduce a new series of classes called Grand Challenge courses, which are specifically designed to explore these issues. The coolest part is that these courses are exclusively for first-year students!
These new Grand Challenge classes are significantly different from high school. They offer smaller class sizes, more focused content, and the opportunity to learn from professors who are collaborating across subject areas. These classes are taught by full-time faculty members who are engaged in dynamic research, and they encourage you to actively participate in the learning process.
