<p>Describe your intellectual interests, their evolution, and what makes them exciting to you. Tell us how you will utilize the academic programs in the College of Arts and Sciences to further explore your interests, intended major, or field of study.</p>
<p>Would someone please explain the full extent of this essay subject? I want to know so that I may have a better idea on what I can or can't write about. I mean what is an intellectual interest?</p>
<p>An intellectual interest is something that is intellectual and interests you.</p>
<p>the question is self explanatory and open ended.</p>
<p>Intellectual as in academics only or can I write about athletics, music, volunteer, or other ECs?</p>
<p>Well I took your "advice," and went to <a href="http://www.dictionary.com%5B/url%5D">www.dictionary.com</a></p>
<p>I searched for "Intellectual," and found 1. appealing to or engaging the intellect: intellectual pursuits. </p>
<p>Now I thought, "Hey this doesn't help," so I went on to look up intellect. I found:
the power or faculty of the mind by which one knows or understands, as distinguished from that by which one feels and that by which one wills; the understanding; the faculty of thinking and acquiring knowledge. </p>
<p>So back I am. I'm thinking I write about Anything that requires thinking and allows me to gain knowledge?</p>
