New Curriculum

Hello everyone! Just a heads up in case you haven't checked your mailboxes: SII is making some changes to the curriculum.

In the past students were required to complete five courses in addition to USF's core curriculum: Medieval Philosophy, Medieval Literature, Modern Philosophy, Modern Literature and the SII Senior Seminar.

Due to study abroad and the need to take courses for majors/minors, students may find it difficult to complete these courses. As a result, the classes were often under-enrolled. Therefore, SII is no longer requiring students to take these five courses.

Instead, SII will require students to take one symposium for each academic year they are on campus. Because SII is a Great Books program, each symposium will be a two-unit course in which a small number of students will work with a professor to discuss and learn about significant primary texts in the Western tradition.

I got all of this info straight from the letter we were sent. More information will be available this Tuesday, April 7 at 6:30pm in the SII Office (KA 144). See you then!

Mucho <3,
Teresa
