Proposing a Seminar

Sophomore College offers faculty the opportunity to enhance an existing course or develop a new course to include experiential learning components, such as service-learning, field-site observations, evening film discussions, and other out-of-class activities.

Interested in proposing a course for sophomore college? 

We begin to recruit faculty and consider course ideas in October and finalize the course offerings the following January.   Contact us at sophcollege@stanford.edu if you would like to learn more or propose a course idea.
