Newberry Seminar in the Humanities

Newberry Seminar students have an extraordinary opportunity to do advanced independent research at one of the world’s great research libraries. They attend interdisciplinary seminars taught by visiting professors and work with resident scholars and library staff. During the semester-length fall seminar, students write a major research paper based on the Newberry’s collections in the humanities. In the winter and spring, the seminars are month-long courses. The Newberry seminar is for students looking for a personal and academic challenge, and for those considering graduate study. Administered by ACM, the Newberry Seminar in the Humanities also is recognized by GLCA.
