Designed for highly motivated first-year students, the Gateway Programs are open by invitation to students who have specific interests and experience.
Gateway programs are living and learning communities where first-year students learn deeply in a specialized area with a small group of like-minded students starting in their first semester of college. Students form relationships with students and faculty who share their interests, and they participate in experiences on and off campus that engage them in new ways of learning and thinking. Gateway programs are for students who want to delve deeply into a specialized, interdisciplinary learning area and develop scholarly understanding, a network of relationships, and personal experiences within this topic.
The Cities Program incorporates the study of Hartford and a diverse range of dynamic global cities, positioning students to take advantage of numerous opportunities for hands-on engagement with contemporary urban issues.
The Community Action Gateway engages students in learning to create social change in their communities through critical thinking about today’s complex issues, talking and working with local changemakers, and taking action through collaborative research projects in Hartford.
The Global Health Humanities Gateway provides opportunities for students to use tools and methods from the humanities to analyze health and healthcare locally and globally; by examining ethical questions, critiquing injustices, and engaging with diverse communities in Hartford, students gain an understanding of the human experience of health.
The Humanities Gateway Program offers students an opportunity for intensive study of some of the most significant texts and ideas found throughout European traditions; its interdisciplinary core curriculum, co-taught by top faculty from Trinity’s departments of Philosophy, Classical Studies, Religious Studies, History, English, and Language & Culture Studies, traces the resonance of key concepts across time and place, from antiquity to the present.
The InterArts Program offers first year students a cross-disciplinary curriculum that challenges them to think and make art that is both personal and pertinent to the times that we live in; it is taught by faculty from the departments of music, theater and dance, film studies, fine arts, and creative writing.
The Interdisciplinary Science Program (ISP) focuses on how modern science is done and the various interactions between science and society, and importantly, pairs high-achieving students in their first year with STEM faculty to do original research.
