Academics
Although Muses are free to major in any subject they choose, most Muse Scholars major or minor in one or more of the arts disciplines. Their scholar community is rooted in two required courses taken during freshman year: Explorations in the Arts (HUM 201, Fall) and the Muse Scholar Seminar (HUM 250, Spring), which engages students with the arts of NYC through visits to museums, concerts, and performances.
