The courses at CTY-Princeton focus on global issues in the twenty-first century. As they examine topics ranging from war to pandemics to national security, students wrestle with many of the major socio-political challenges of our time. For instance, Human Nature and Technology explores various facets of human nature in relation to our reliance on technology in our everyday lives while Epidemiology deals with AIDS and other infectious diseases within the context of public health. Students in these courses will engage in frank discussions of contemporary issues and will use materials typical of college courses. For example, a film students view may be R-rated, or students may engage topics of a politically sensitive or controversial nature. All course content will be chosen for its academic value, approached from an academic perspective, and taught with guidance and support from the instructors that is sensitive to the age of the students. When selecting courses, students should consider their comfort levels with the course's content and major themes. The following courses are offered at Princeton: The Mathematics of Competitive Behavior Epidemiology, Re-emerging Infectious Diseases, and Pandemics Science, Technology, and Public Policy Global Politics: Human Rights and Justice Human Nature and Technology Politics in the Middle East Politics and Film Race and Politics
