At Chicago Semester, we have the unique opportunity to use the city as our laboratory. Students often find themselves combining classroom learning with an exploration of the cultures and history of Chicago through outings to various places all around the city.
General Students
Seminars are held on Wednesdays at the Chicago Semester office and taught by CS staff. Chicago Semester requires all general students to enroll in the Internship and Practicum course and, beginning Fall Semester, 2010, two CS seminars --including 1) ONE section of the Metropolitan Seminar (required of all general students); and 2) EITHER the Values and Vocation OR Arts in the City seminar. Note, students are required to take two Chicago Semester seminars even if credit is not needed on the home campus.
Special Tracks
Student teachers enroll in the internship and the Professional Seminar for Student Teachers, but typically do not enroll in additional seminars. Social work and nursing students enroll in the internship, the Professional Seminar for either Nursing or Social Work, and one additional CS seminar. Please check with your advisor or refer to the college credit portion of the website to find information on course requirements.
