Proseminar

Catalog description

Four terms of Proseminar—once weekly, 90-minute (.5 course unit) courses—are required of all students, to be taken (usually) during the first two years of the program. The overall purpose of the proseminar is the facilitation of doctoral students’ socialization to academic and research careers. The specific content of the course—a mix of sessions designed to enhance the development of a variety of skills and capacities necessary for students’ success as scholars, teachers, and colleagues— will vary across the four semesters.
