COL Open House for First-Years

TO:    Members of the Class of 2013

The College of Letters cordially invites you to attend one of our Open House receptions, which will be held this year on Monday, March 1 and Wednesday, March 3.  Both gatherings will start at 4:15 p.m. in the College of Letters Library (Butterfield C-413.)  I will speak briefly about the Program and a number of COL students and faculty will also be on hand to answer questions.

The College of Letters is an interdisciplinary major in Literature, Philosophy, and History, with a required area of foreign language concentration, and a semester in residence abroad (usually in France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Russia, or Spain). To learn more about the COL, study abroad possibilities, and the application process please visit the COL website at: http://www.wesleyan.edu/col/

 The major begins, unlike most majors, in the fall of the sophomore year, which is why application for it must be made in the spring of your first year.

This year the deadline for applications is Monday, March 22, the first day after the Spring vacation.  We have only a limited number of places, and our admission process has to be completed before the university’s preregistration procedures, so it is important to apply on time.  If all available places are filled by timely applicants, late applicants will automatically be placed on a waiting list.

I look forward to seeing you at the COL Open House!!

 Ethan Kleinberg,  Director, College of Letters
