Place-Based Classes
Place-based courses are regular Capital classes that enhance the learning experience by engaging with the place where our college is located: Hartford, Connecticut.
Some courses use local museums, theater, parks, and historical sites in lessons, assignments, or writing projects. Some offer extra credit to attend Hartford events, like a play, exhibit, or concert. We even have fully place-based courses that meet for the entire semester in a places like the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Connecticut's Old State House, the Bushnell Center for Performing Arts, and the Stowe and Twain houses.
