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.
Leveraging AI
A beginner-friendly curriculum that builds deep intuition for how AI actually works — not through math or code, but through mental models that make effective use a natural consequence of understanding. Covers how language models think, why they hallucinate, the art of prompting, practical AI workflows for writing, images, and code, and the societal shifts AI is driving. Designed for anyone curious enough to want more than tips and tricks.

Game Theory
A working understanding of game theory — the study of how rational agents make decisions when outcomes depend on each other's choices. The trunk gives you the core solution concepts and vocabulary; clusters dive into auctions, bargaining, evolutionary games, mechanism design, and where the rational-actor model fails.
Real Estate
How real estate actually works — as an asset class and as a transaction. The trunk covers ownership and title, mortgages and leverage, valuation, the buy/sell process, rentals and landlording, taxes, development, and REITs; clusters go deep on the math and mechanics.
