Sophomore Scholars in Residence
The Sophomore Scholars in Residence program (commonly called SSIR) combines a traditional academic course with co-curricular learning activities throughout a student’s entire sophomore year. A signature element of SSIR classes are fully-funded short-term trips that directly connect to what students are studying. Students spend their spring semester working on a collaborative group project connecting their travels and classroom experiences.different topics of classes to choose from
