<p>@Authormom:There is so much to do outside of STEM that’s likely better than a lot of STEM at Emory. A lot of things outside of STEM are actually run better IMHO. When the college announced its plans, I heard hardly of no committees addressing the social science and humanities experience but you did for undergraduate science education for a reason I imagine (okay, I don’t have to imagine, I experienced it). There are tons of strong psychology, sociology, political science, history, IDS (yes we have an interdisciplinary studies option where you can basically design your own major and project. It has one of the best intellectual communities among undergraduates. It could perhaps be rivaled by creative writing, English, and some of the languages as those are good at fostering community and some such as Spanish and German have their own upperclassmen living learning communities), anthropology, etc classes for your daughter to visit or inquire about. David Lynn’s ORDER is an interdisciplinary seminar by the way, which is one reason it is a must see. I’ll post a link so you can see how it’s run. It is pretty innovative (as a freshman, you have the option of developing and defending a project or thesis that can evolve beyond that semester. Projects have gone far beyond that class in the past):<br>

<p>The one he directs in spring is for upperclassmen, but you should ask to maybe just see what the style looks like (there are other great seminars too if you can’t). </p>
<p>With a strong class, the discussions across the range of topics are great and there are often many hands-on activities and assignments. </p>
