Earn a Certificate in the Study of Arts and Sciences Through Primary Texts while fulfilling some of your basic requirements in Arts and Sciences (or just to enrich your educational experience). Students take courses that emphasize original works instead of textbooks. Instead of reading only a textbook in Physics, read selections from Galileo and Einstein, too. Instead of an American Government textbook as your main source, read Madison, Hamilton and Jay. Graduate with a certificate that shows you've been exposed to some of the greatest books in the humanities, sciences and social sciences!
