- A sample of writing from a previous course (to be uploaded on the application form.)
- A short (250–300 word) statement of interest in the program (i.e., why would this program benefit you?) indicating your level of commitment to the program for a full academic year.
- Letter of recommendation from your advisor or another professor who knows you well. This should be sent directly from the faculty member to [email protected] and addressed to Professors Jennifer Hevelone-Harper and Paul Brink.
Course Credit
The JAF program is offered as two six-credit courses. On completion of both semesters students may petition through the program director to fulfill up to 12 credits of core requirements, selecting from HIS 121 Historical Perspectives on Culture, Belief and Civilization or core philosophy, social science or literature. Application of credit to a major is at the discretion of individual departments. No more than 12 credits total may be applied between core, major or minor requirements.
