This program will not be offered in 2027.
Tulane’s School of Liberal Arts offers students the best of both worlds: the faculty of a world-class research university and the 1:1 mentorship access of a liberal arts college. The Tenenbaum Tutorials is a unique opportunity for our students to capitalize on this dual identity by designing a curriculum suited to their academic requirements and specific interests within the humanities and humanistic social sciences.
Every fall and spring the Tenenbaum Tutorials give 12 students the chance to work closely with a School of Liberal Arts faculty tutor on an independent research project. This competitive program is open to rising sophomores and juniors majoring in a liberal arts discipline or program. Selected students will earn 4 credits and receive up to $1,500 to support their research project.
Students work with faculty tutors 1:1 to develop their topic of interest, reading list, and project plan timeline and deliverables. The project plan includes weekly meetings with the faculty tutor to present and discuss an essay prepared by the student. At the close of each semester, students present their research at a symposium attended by Tenenbaum Tutorials faculty, peers, and invited guests.
