Why take an Integrated Studies course?
Students have the opportunity
to explore a central theme from different
disciplines; form
safe,
respectful
learning
communities;
engage with other students in
lively discussion
seminars, and more ...
Integrated Studies courses have added benefits: Employers tell us that
they seek employees who can think critically about complex
issues/problems and get along with diverse people and
perspectives. The student-led seminars provide students with an
opportunity to critically examine their own assumptions, be open to
other's ways of seeing and knowing, learn to explore a complex issue
from multiple perspectives (disciplines), and participate in a diverse
community of learners.
