In the intermediate workshop, students expand their skills writing, reading, and critiquing short stories, as well as share their writing with peers in a workshop setting. The course builds upon the basics of craft learned in the Beginning Fiction Workshop and explores more complex ways of utilizing that craft. Students read a diverse range of published short stories, but the primary focus is the creation and critique of their own work and the work of their peers.
Dance
A physical exploration of human movement potential and the development of body-mind awareness through expressive, rhythmic patterns that is particularly relevant for dancers, actors, musicians, and athletes. Concepts and theories underlying movement skills are practiced and analyzed as a means of experiencing the world more dynamically and intentionally in performance and in life.
An exploration of fundamental principles of movement to ensure safety, development, and growth as a performing artist through studies of somatic techniques, functional anatomy and kinesiology, and injury prevention. This course is equal parts lecture and embodied movement practice.
Economics
The course introduces students to the field of economics, and explores a variety of topics spanning both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Using basic algebraic and graphical techniques, it lays the foundation for how economists model the world using mathematics to study how individuals, firms and governments make choices and how they affect the world around us. Microeconomic topics include consumer theory, producer theory, behavior of firms, externalities, and the role of the government in the economy. Macroeconomic topics include determination of output, unemployment, interest rates, inflation, monetary and fiscal policies, and economic growth.

This course is an introduction to econometrics, a field of economics that facilitates the understanding of economic literature and pursuit of empirical research in economics. It covers the use of basic statistical methods, probability theory, sampling theory, estimation, hypothesis testing, and linear regression. Students practice the application of these techniques by collecting, organizing, and analyzing real-world economic data using the statistical software STATA.
