What is The Connected Core?

  • Do you have interests and passions that you’d like to explore alongside your degree? 
  • Have you considered multiple majors and still are not 100% sure what you want to pursue? 
  • Are you interested in talking about issues you care about with students majoring in different things? 
  • Are you passionate about your major and want to explore it from a different angle? 
  • Do you see the value of combining multiple fields of study to solve major problems in our world? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we have built The Connected Core for you.

The Connected Core makes it easy for students with a variety of interests to find relevant courses that fulfill core requirements. Connected Core courses invite students to draw meaningful connections between the humanities and their lives and future careers. Learning to view the complex problems we face through multiple perspectives encourages students in these courses to design innovative solutions to big, complex problems.
