Academic Courses

The Aspin Center emphasizes close interaction between students and faculty. Small class sizes and a dedicated faculty allow tremendous attention to be paid to the intellectual development of each student. Students receive instruction in seminar style classes in which individual participation in the collective quest for knowledge is demanded. The academic rigors of the program set it apart from other similar programs in Washington. The Aspin Center offers courses not just in political science, but in theology and fine arts as well. The fine arts class may be taken for philosophy credit.

The coursework offered at the Aspin Center allows students to fulfill a number of their academic requirements. Political science courses can be counted toward elective requirements and the theology and fine arts offerings can be used as a part of one's core course work.
