Humanities

Welcome to the Kaplan Institute!

 

Welcome Class of 2029!

Apply to be a Kaplan Humanities Scholar!

This unique first-year program allows you to work closely with a small team of the university's top professors in a 2-part series of courses that traverse the boundaries of academic disciplines. Kaplan Scholars learn to form complex opinions, argue for important values, and discriminate among competing forms of evidence—excellent preparation for any major or field of study at Northwestern!
