Only for Graduate Students

In addition to lecture courses and seminars, students may take directed reading and research courses in connection with their dissertations and, on occasion, use them to explore topics not covered in regular courses.

Up to half a graduate student's courses may be taken outside the School, and programs that include considerable work in one or more sciences departments are common.
