The Focus Program offers clusters every fall semester. The themes vary year to year, but the schedule remains consistent.
FOCUS students' schedule in the Fall includes:
- two seminars
- one interdisciplinary discussion course (IDC), and
- two additional courses chosen by the student.
In the Spring:
- Writing 120 course in their FOCUS cluster and
- Three additional courses chosen by the student
Enrollment includes residence in a living/learning community on East Campus.
Your FOCUS courses will fulfill multiple graduation requirements as specified in Trinity College’s First-Year Experience and Liberal Arts requirements and the Pratt School of Engineering’s general degree requirements.
Students register independently for the additional courses on DukeHub and will be automatically enrolled in the FOCUS courses before the shopping cart opens.
Students must receive permission from the FOCUS Program to change FOCUS courses during these registration windows. Students are strongly discouraged from withdrawing from the program after registration has been completed.
