The FOCUS Program is a voluntary, interdisciplinary academic curriculum for freshmen that was first established at Duke University. FOCUS is an acronym that stands for "First-year Opportunity for Comprehensive, Unified Study". ==Program at Duke University== Duke students who register for FOCUS will be registered in two seminars chosen from a set of four classes offered for their "cluster", along with a half-credit discussion course that takes place over a meal with their professors and guest speakers. FOCUS allows students to take part in small classes and those in the same cluster for the fall semester also live in the same dormitory on East Campus. Current programs for the 2014–15 academic year at Duke include the following topics: * Cognitive Neuroscience and Law * Ethics, Leadership, and Global Citizenship * Exploring the Mind * Genomes in Our Lives: The Meanings of DNA * Global Health: Determinants and Solutions * Humanitarian Challenges: Global Innovations and Initiatives * Knowledge in the Service of Society * Memory and Invention: Medieval and Renaissance Worlds * Modeling in Economic and Social Sciences * Power of Language * The American Experience * The Middle East in Global Contexts * Visions of Freedom * What If? Explaining the Past, Predicting the Future 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FOCUS Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
