From UATX: “The Forbidden Courses Summer Program brings together undergraduates to cultivate the habits of civil discourse. In discussion-based seminars and practical workshops, students will discuss and debate the most vexing questions of our time. Students will have the opportunity to meet with and learn from leading innovators in tech, business, entrepreneurship, engineering, education, and more.
Our summer program will take place in a different city each year.”
