#About Junction Classes

Junction students take two types of classes: **a core class and seminar classes**. A core class is an in-depth exploration of a single academic subject, usually at the introductory college level, and meets for two hours every evening for the duration of the program. Each student enrolls in exactly one core class. Students also choose to attend one seminar class each night from a selection that changes daily. Seminar classes can be academic or non-academic, spanning anything from African music to giant modular origami!

To see core class descriptions from 2011 go [here](http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/2011/cores.html) <br/>
To see core class descriptions from 2012 go [here] (http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/2012/cores.html)

Note that these pages are targeted towards the students who applied for those classes.
