High-Impact Practices

Common Intellectual Experiences

The older idea of a “core” curriculum has evolved into a variety of modern forms, such as a set of required common courses or a vertically organized general education program that includes advanced integrative studies and/or required participation in a learning community. These programs often combine broad themes. Refers to any curricular and/or co-curricular program designed to build a student cohort focused on a common, broad theme.
