What are the benefits of participating in a TIDES class?
You will be able to develop close relationships with faculty and with students with similar interests. The faculty participating in the TIDES program are representative of all of the different schools and colleges that make up the University. As a consequence, topics will be explored from a variety of different points of view. Students will be encouraged to discuss their TIDES issues in a broader context laying the foundations for critical thinking in other areas of their curriculum. The opportunity to meet guests from the University and often explore resources in the New Orleans community can help a new student feel more connected and at home in a new environment.
