...reading seminars, which are designed to replace the sophomore spring and junior fall tutorials. This year, Social Studies and East Asian studies are the only concentrations to offer full year tutorials for sophomores. Next year, the East Asian studies concentration will push their entire tutorial program back by one semester, so the sophomore tutorial will effectively become a sophomore spring and junior fall tutorial, according to Director of Undergraduate Studies, Wilt L.
