Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies is an interdisciplinary liberal arts college at Western Washington University. Instead of working towards pre-defined majors, Fairhaven students are responsible to shape their own interdisciplinary concentration or major, combining independent study, internships, and Western Washington University courses with Fairhaven courses to define their course of study. Another unique feature of the college is almost all classes follow a small seminar format rather than a lecture. Class enrollment is rarely above twenty students and will sometimes have two professors for a given class instead of only one. Another distinction of Fairhaven College is that students do not receive letter grades but are instead given narrative evaluations, in addition to writing their own self-evaluations, for each class.
