The Newberry Library offers two undergraduate programs:
Both programs provide unique opportunities for students to use the Library’s collections to pursue interdisciplinary humanities research.

The ACM program, sponsored by the Associated Colleges of the Midwest offers a semester long fall seminar and a series of one month seminars during the winter and spring terms. Seminars are offered on a wide variety of topics, but all seminars are designed to allow students to create their own research project appropriate to the Newberry Library collections. |

The NLUS program, sponsored by DePaul University, Loyola University Chicago, Roosevelt University, and the University of Illinois, Chicago, offers Chicago area undergraduates a semester-long humanities seminar each year from January to May. The seminar involves common reading assignments, research in the Library’s collections and a major research paper and carries the credit of two courses. Seminars are team-taught and topics change from year to year. Each class is limited to twenty participants who are assigned individual study areas and are encouraged to work closely with Library staff.
