you and challenge you to go farther than you ever thought you could.”

Create A UNIQUE LEARNING MAP
ACT-IN (APPLIED CRITICAL THOUGHT AND INQUIRY) ACT-In is Jewell’s newest and mostdistinctive major program. ACT-In adds three applied learning experiences to the core coursestaken by all students. So any student can easily add the ACT-In major to his or her academic program, graduating with a double or even a triple major in just four years.
ACADEMIC OPPORTUNIT IES
Your Jewell Journey is unique, defined by your individual goals,
talents, and interests. Guided by inspiring faculty mentors and
advisors, you will create a personal learning map that sets you
on a life-long path to intellectual fulfillment and success.
How it beginsYou have ample time to shape your academic program — you won’t have to declare a major until the end of your second year. You have manychoices to explore during your first two years: Jewell has more than 55major programs, 22 minors, and 12 pre-professional programs that youcan combine any way you want to perfectly suit your interests and goals.
CRITICAL THOUGHT AND INQUIRY — THE JEWELL CORECURRICULUM: Critical Thought and Inquiry (CTI) is a program so well-designed, so coherent, so grounded in the skills and abilitiesrequired for any endeavor, that it has become a major all its own. Byexploring topics that include Culture and Traditions; Science, Technologyand the Human Experience; Power and Justice; and Sacred and Secular,you’ll understand the important connections between different areas ofknowledge — and learn more about yourself in the process.
THE RESPONSIBLE SELF: Part of the CTI curriculum, this is acourse that every new student takes. Through readings and discussions, you’ll reassess and reevaluate your point of view on just about everything. You’ll step outside yourself to examine what you really believe and, most important, why you believe it.It will change your life.
JOURNEY GRANTS: Beginning with the entering class of 2010, theJewell Journey becomes even more compelling. Every student who suc-cessfully completes the sophomore year will be eligible to receive a“Journey Grant” to fund a transformative hands-on experience. JourneyGrants will be a minimum of $2,000 to support self-designed researchprojects, study-away opportunities, internships, civic initiatives or serviceprojects at home or abroad. You can use a Journey Grant to start yourown business, or pool grants together to create substantive collaborativeprojects. If you can imagine it, you can do it.
