May Term

For three weeks after the end of the spring semester, Mary Baldwin students take a concentrated course (or sometimes two, especially if the second is physical education) that meets every day. These courses, typically open to all students, range widely. They often include field trips or other excursions. Some are foreign study.

Recent offerings have included

• Analysis of Film;
• Women in Management;
• Field Biology (studied in the lovely landscapes in nearby
  mountains, meadows, and streams);
• Women in U.S. History;
• Jazz in New Orleans (yes, with a trip to New Orleans);
• Music in the Theatre;
• U.S. Hispanic Literature and Culture;
• the Psychology of Women;
• London Theatre (see nearly a dozen plays or musicals in London);
• tennis, golf, dance, and self defense.

Each of these courses gives you a rare opportunity to focus on a subject in depth -- and a not-so-rare opportunity at Mary Baldwin to have fun and to venture off campus.
