Mini-Mesters allow students to explore interests outside of their major and gain a greater breadth of knowledge across academic disciplines; during the Fall 2019 semester, nearly 200 students participated in 14 Mini-Mester options. Spring offerings will explore topics as varied as sustainable design, podcasting, data visualization, and natural disasters.

Two of the current courses, GT 4801/8801: Open Data With R, and INTA 4811: International Philanthropy and Sustainable Development, will join new ones as part of the ongoing pilot program. The full list of course offerings for the upcoming semester can be found here, though it’s possible that more will be added before Phase II registration begins.

There will be two terms for Spring 2020 Mini-Mesters: Term 1 will run from Jan. 6 to Feb. 7, and Term 2 will run from Feb. 10 to March 13.
