Washington and Lee University's innovative 4-week, one-class Spring Term at the end of each academic year is interdisciplinary, intense, and anything but traditional. Courses are designed to be transformative learning experiences such as studying:

the science of cooking in Italy
reef degradation in Belize
urban ecology in D.C.
the physics of music
code-breaking in mathematics and history
the psychology of humor
and many, many more.

Professors love teaching Spring Term courses because of the opportunity to expose students to new perspectives. Students love Spring Term because of the opportunity to do something they may never have done before.
