INTERSESSION COURSES

Held during the three weeks before the spring semester, Johns Hopkins University’s Intersession program invites undergraduates to pause their regular coursework and immerse themselves in concentrated, discussion-based learning. The program encourages intellectual curiosity, hands-on exploration, and the freedom to experiment with new ideas. Through short, intensive courses taught by Johns Hopkins faculty and visiting experts, students can explore topics that connect academic study with real-world questions about citizenship, community, and the challenges of democratic life.

The SNF Agora Institute creates spaces where scholars, practitioners, and students come together to examine the conditions that allow democracy to thrive. Through its Intersession offerings, the institute gives students a chance to connect theory with practice, learning from faculty and fellows whose work addresses some of the most pressing questions in civic life including how people build trust across difference, use information responsibly, and participate in shaping a more inclusive and resilient democracy.
