Preface

This catalogue lists and describes the courses offered by the faculty of Kenyon College for the 2002-03 academic year. Also included are the degree requirements and curricular regulations that apply to all applicants for the Bachelor of Arts degree from the College. A listing of faculty members and administrators at Kenyon can be found at the back of the catalogue, as well as notice of the officers of the College and members of the Board of Trustees.

All programs of study and major departments are listed alphabetically. Under each heading, yearlong courses are listed first, followed by courses offered in the first semester and then courses offered in the second semester. Additional courses may be listed under such rubrics as "Will be offered in 2003-04" or "Additional courses available another year," which includes those offered alternate years or those depending on staff. Questions about courses or course offerings should be addressed to members of the department or program in question.

There will be some adjustments to these listings between now and the times that students enroll, and therefore supplements or enrollment handbooks may be published in April and August. Even when enrollment handbooks are not published, this information may be found at the registrar's web site. Time schedules will appear in each of the handbooks as well. With the supplements, this catalogue will be used for April enrollment as well as September and January enrollments. Please bring this catalogue with you when you return to campus in the fall, as only one copy has been printed for each student.

A section highlighting important information for first-year students and students new to Kenyon appears on page 4; students are urged to read this carefully. Throughout the catalogue, look for the symbol beside the courses in each department that are considered especially appropriate for first-year students or upperclass students new to that department's curriculum.

Your attention is called to the material covering curricular requirements and rules governing course enrollments. Read these regulations carefully; not only are students presumed to know them, but also the regulations are revised from time to time. Ignorance of a rule does not qualify a student for exemption from that rule.

Great care has been taken to assure the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in this publication. However, Kenyon College reserves the right to discontinue or to modify courses or programs; to change instructors; or to change policies, procedures, fees, and other regulations without prior notice.
