Students indicate intent to pursue the Humanities Distinction Track (HDT) by December 31 of the M2 academic year.
M1 students who are considering the HDT but are not ready to apply are encouraged to participate in elective opportunities during the M1 and M2 years (such as Writing Electives, the Bioethics & Humanities Seminar, and/or the Personal-Professional Compass Program) so that they will have made progress toward satisfying the requirement of participating in two elective opportunities (see Requirements and Graduation Criteria). Note that application for HDT must be made by December 31 of the M2 year.
Interested students will make initial contact with one of the Humanities Distinction Track (HDT) co-directors for advice about potential faculty mentors. Students will then communicate with CCOM faculty members and identify one faculty member who is willing to serve as their primary mentor for the duration of the HDT.
In the unusual case that a student needs to select a primary mentor who is not a CCOM faculty member, the student will also need to identify a CCOM faculty member who is willing to serve as a secondary mentor and who will submit a Secondary Letter of Nomination acknowledging review of, and agreement with, the nomination letter from the primary mentor.
