Grant Summary

$25,000 over 12 months to create and pilot a required first-year sequence comprising two reading- and writing-intensive courses and a cluster of sophomore-level thematic College Courses that would build on the questions and themes of the first-year sequence but allow students to explore a more focused area. These courses would serve as the foundation of a new general education program for Vanderbilt's College of Arts and Sciences, which houses the majority of its undergraduate body.
