Advanced Topics are proposed by MBS faculty with a particular interest and expertise that do not fit neatly in departmental categories, either because they are interdisciplinary or because they live beyond the main MBS departmental structure. Advanced Topics are subject to a thorough peer-review process, overseen by a committee of experienced teachers with college teaching backgrounds. The classes foreground critical thought and discussion, require students to work independently and are flexible enough to encompass a broad range of course themes. In all Advanced Topics, the level of reading, writing and discussion completed by your student equals the levels found in a first-year college course.
Some Advanced Topics that have run in recent years:
Chemical Engineering Process Design (11, 12)
Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (11, 12)
Fashion: Global Imperatives, Materiality, Embodiment (11, 12)
Group Theory, Combinatorics, and Rubik’s Cube (11, 12)
