Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar: Mexico and Peru through Word and Image, 1492 – 1820
Looking for a unique opportunity to take a class with students from other universities and do research about Mexico and Peru this Spring? Apply for the Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar!
The Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar is a team-taught interdisciplinary course that is open to undergraduates from four Chicago-area universities (DePaul, Loyola, UIC, and Roosevelt). Taught at one of America’s foremost research libraries, students take part in an intensive classroom experience that will culminate in the preparation of an independent research project. The course will take place at the Newberry Library during the Spring 2015 semester but students would register for the course through UIC under an LAS rubric. The seminar topic for Spring 2015 is “Mexico and Peru through Word and Image, 1492 – 1820.”
Students who take the course will also be eligible to travel to Peru with a group from Roosevelt University May 8 – 21, 2015.
