Krogh Honors Seminar

The Krogh Honors Seminar, named for Dean Emeritus Peter Krogh, provides the opportunity for 15 students to work with a leading scholar in the area of international affairs. Students in the Krogh seminar examine a major issue in international affairs and work on an independent research project related to that issue. Many Krogh Scholars have gone on to graduate school and have fared well in the competition for fellowships such as Rhodes, Marshall, Mellon, Luce and Fulbright. This success reflects the emphasis on critical thinking, close reading, and polished writing that are the hallmarks of the Scholars Seminar.
