The Trinity College of Arts and Sciences at Duke University is perfect for my academic goals of studying political science and to a degree neuroscience because of their interdepartmental and thematic focus. Duke has made two things clear to me through my research and visitations: a refusal to settle for second behind the major ivy league colleges and a clearly established thematic rather than department by department approach to arts and sciences. This approach to learning that is stressed is perfect because of the fact that I desire a college that can provide for a strong education in political science, while at the same time allowing me to delve into the depths of other departments such as neuroscience. A schedule packed with classes from the major area of study of political science and neuroscience interdisciplinary classes through the psychology department would provide for a wide breadth of knowledge and feeling of opportunity unavailable at many other leading colleges. Duke truly provides a school of arts and sciences that would allow me to find my career interests through the various avenues I would be able to travel and pursue at the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences.
