艺术与道德
Can you ever say art is for art’s sake? How might cultural mores intervene? In this course, study the questions that have stymied civilizations for centuries.
As the first step in our undergraduate curriculum, your First-Year Intensive (FYI) course builds the intellectual, 社会, and emotional foundations you need to thrive at Clark and beyond.
Typically limited to 16 students, FYI 课程 let you begin your Clark career by developing close relationships with a professor and group of peers who share your interests. Your FYI professor will likely be your academic adviser until you declare a major, and will help you navigate your transition from high school to college.
You can choose from more than 30 different 课程, which change from year to year. No matter which FYI you take, you’ll learn in a supportive, welcoming environment and you’ll build crucial skills — including critical thinking, 写作, and debating — that will increase your confidence and success in other 课程.
We offer three types of FYIs:
Depending on what major you’re considering, your FYI can be an opportunity to get started early on its requirements. While Clark does not require you to take an introductory course in your intended major as your First-Year Intensive, 你可以选择这样做, depending on the major’s requirements outlined in its catalog description.
You may choose to pursue a course in a topic you already have a passion for, or you might prefer a course that will introduce you to an entirely new subject. Keep an open mind as you read course descriptions and identify your top three to five choices. When you meet with your summer adviser in July, you will select an FYI as one of your fall 课程.
