Participants work with the SCT’s core faculty of distinguished scholars and theorists in one of four six-week seminars. Each faculty member offers, in addition, a public lecture and a colloquium (based on an original paper) which are attended by the entire group.

The program also includes mini-seminars taught by scholars who visit for shorter periods. Finally, throughout the six weeks, distinguished theorists visit the SCT as lecturers or respondents.

The application deadline is February 1, and admissions decisions are announced in March. All applications must be submitted online: http://sct.arts.cornell.edu/

Tuition for the 2010 session is $2700. Applicants may compete for partial tuition scholarships and are encouraged to seek funding from their home institutions. On campus housing is available for an additional charge.
