Mathematics
A comprehensive, 5-pillar curriculum that builds a complete mathematical education from foundational reasoning through advanced applications. Covers proof writing, algebra, trigonometry, the full calculus sequence, linear algebra, abstract algebra, discrete mathematics, probability, statistics, optimization, game theory, and mathematical modeling. Designed for polymaths who want deep mathematical fluency and strongest when paired with career tracks in data science, software engineering, or quantitative fields. The specific applications evolve but the mathematical structures — groups, spaces, measures, graphs — are eternal.
~1075h
Economics
A comprehensive journey through economic thought and practice, from foundational concepts like scarcity and trade to advanced topics in behavioral economics, international finance, and development policy. This curriculum builds an economically literate individual who can dissect market dynamics, evaluate policy trade-offs, and interpret the economic forces shaping our world.
~220h
Psychology
A working understanding of psychology — what the science actually claims about how minds, brains, and behavior fit together. The trunk gives you the orientation a literate professional needs (how psychology knows what it knows, the brain behind behavior, learning, memory, decision-making, emotion, personality, social influence, development, pathology, and what therapy does); clusters dive into research methods, perception, cognition mechanics, social influence tactics, the field guide of disorders, applied behavioral science, and the psychology of everyday life.
Environmental Science
A coherent, mechanistic picture of how the Earth actually works as a coupled system — its biogeochemical cycles, climate physics, ecosystems, pollution pathways, and the leverage points where solutions live. The trunk gives you the throughline a working professional needs to reason about environmental claims; clusters dive into circulation, ecology, paleoclimate, climate modeling, pollution, energy, and mitigation.
Philosophy
A guided tour through philosophical thinking — how to reason carefully, evaluate arguments, navigate ethics, and engage with the great questions about knowledge, reality, mind, and society. The trunk gives you orientation across the whole field; clusters dive deep on logic, ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, mind, politics, and the history of ideas.
Cybersecurity
A comprehensive curriculum covering the full breadth of cybersecurity, from foundational concepts in networking and operating systems through advanced offensive and defensive techniques. Learners progress from understanding core security principles and cryptography to hands-on skills in penetration testing, incident response, cloud security, and compliance. Designed to build a security-first mindset and the practical skills needed to protect modern infrastructure and applications.
