PW Practitioner-Taught Course Application Form

Thank you for your interest in the Purposeful Work Practitioner-Taught Courses! Applications are now being accepted for all courses. Priority deadline for the application is Monday, February 16th at midnight*. This means applications received before the deadline receive priority for admission but we will still accept applications after the priority deadline.

(*The priority application deadline for the Bates-Tuck PTC was January 19th.)

Please carefully review the information on the Practitioner-Taught Courses webpage and in this slide deck. You will find details about the individual courses, the application process, and the practitioners.

If you have questions about the application process, please feel free to contact Marianne Cowan ’92 (mcowan@bates.edu).

A tale of two trees (and one map)

For at least 151 years, a hemlock and its close neighbor, a red oak, have grown up together on the Bates campus, close enough to overlap branches, while buildings popped up around them. Their survival is a mystery but thanks to a new interactive historic map of Bates, their shared history can at least be glimpsed.
