Recent offerings in the Residential College Seminar Program have included:

• Writing the One Act Play
• Robot Morals and Human Ethics
• Jazz, Baseball & American Race Relations
• International Terrorism and Global Responses
• Medicine and Law at the Margins of Life
• Investigative Journalism

Additional Academic Resources

Yale faculty members from a broad spectrum of disciplines are associated with each residential college. Faculty fellows are in residence at each of the colleges and are available as a resource to students. Many faculty fellows act as departmental representatives and give personalized advice to students majoring in their particular fields of study. Each residential college also has a Math and Science Tutor and a Writing Tutor who maintain regular office hours. Students may visit these tutors without prior appointment.
