Themester

Themester (a themed semester) is a College initiative offering more than 20 courses across disciplines with complementary extracurricular and co-curricular events put together by faculty and undergraduate students. Each fall semester a different theme is highlighted. In fall 2016, the College explores "Beauty."  Please check themester.indiana.edu for up-to-date information about future themes as well as courses, lectures, plays, art exhibits, panel discussions, and more.

Students who want to explore Themester topics in more detail may choose to add a 15 credit minor through the Individualized Major Program.
