Sophomore Plan

Welcome, sophomores! The Sophomore Plan is a year-long invitation for you to reflect on your progress so far, develop some goals and set some priorities for the rest of your time at Bryn Mawr. 

Basic information is here but the real hub for sophomore planning is in Moodle. 你们都参加了 大二计划课程. 用星号标记课程,这样你就可以看到它与你当前的时间表.  

二年级院长提供个人和小组咨询 在学生们开始他们的大二计划时. 二年级学生可以安排与院长见面 检讨达到学位要求的进度, clarify questions, 最重要的是,考虑他们的优先事项. The Sophomore Dean and other staff also host a series of conversations in the Fall Semester on topics related to the Sophomore Plan.

二年级学生希望确保自己能够顺利完成学业. 在秋季学期注册, 学生应在BiONiC完成学院要求计划. 二年级的院长会审查你的计划并记下你的顾虑. 说明和更多信息 are in Moodle. This will give sophomores the clarity around requirements they need to make good decisions for course registration for Spring.  

Building on the curricular exploration that began as a first-year student, sophomores will 决定并宣布 major field of study. Some sophomores may be ready to do this in September, but many more will take longer. For many students, exploring and deciding on a minor is also an important part of the sophomore year.

随着人们对布林莫尔越来越熟悉, sophomore year marks a natural time to learn about and plan for life beyond Bryn Mawr. 学生们有几种方法来做到这一点. 

  • First, many 学生会考虑 Study Abroad. The decision whether, when, 在哪里留学与大二计划的其他方面有关. Specifically, 以便有一个完整的留学申请, students must have declared their major with a faculty major adviser and have their major adviser submit a Study Abroad evaluation.  
  • Second, many students will be trying to figure out what kind of work they want to do in the world and how their time at Bryn Mawr can help them learn more and gain valuable experience. Students may also be eager to put what they have been learning in the classroom into practice. In order to facilitate the reflection that is a crucial part of this process and to prepare them to apply for internships and other opportunities, 二年级的学生将起草一份 resume and receive feedback  来自职业和公民参与中心的工作人员.

你们的院长会来帮忙的.

Your dean wants to be a resource to you as you plan for the rest of your time at Bryn Mawr and beyond. Before April, sophomores have the opportunity to meet with their dean to discuss their priorities and plans.    

You are the one to determine when this meeting would be most beneficial to you. Keep in mind:

  • Most people find that advising leads to a new understanding of what they’re interested in exploring further and how to go about reaching their goals.
  • If you are considering study abroad, you will be learning a lot through the Study Abroad programming. 你的院长可以帮助你思考你所学的东西如何应用到你身上.  
  • Your dean can also also help you explore some of the other ways to expand your learning beyond Bryn Mawr: Praxis independent study, 360s, 夏天的机会. 
  • 你不需要在开会前把所有事情都弄清楚. Indeed, the more confused you are, the better it may be to meet sooner rather than later. 如果你不确定你的专业, your dean can help talk through the options with you and provide suggestions for how to make your choice. 
  • Please note that you do NOT need to have met with your dean before you declare your major with your major adviser.

To do: You can 在网上安排一个大二学生计划会议.  作为预约安排的一部分,您需要填写 简短的问卷调查.  

决定并宣布你的专业

The choice of a major is one of the largest decisions students make about their intellectual lives. 对于许多人来说,在布林莫尔,主要的部门变成了一个家中的家. 

To Do没有一个简单的待办事项清单适用于所有学生.  有超过35个专业, 60多名教师担任主要顾问, and with students themselves having unique paths towards deciding on a major, 任何试图概括主要选择过程的尝试都是非常困难的.  Students should consult the advice and resources listed below as appropriate.  

By the end of April, 不管具体的路径是什么, all sophomores should have a declared major in BiONiC and a major work plan (the Online Major Work Plan in BiONiC for Bryn Mawr majors, in accordance with Haverford's procedures if a Haverford major) approved by the appropriate faculty major adviser.  You'll find the Online Major Work Plan in the Sophomore Plan corner of your Student Center in BiONiC, but the instructions for filling out the plan are available on Moodle and can be referenced here.
