Clarkson Common Experience Curriculum

http://www.clarkson.edu/common_experience/index.htmlandhttp://www.clarkson.edu/catalog/09-10/academic_requirements.html

Knowledge Areas (KAs):Cultures and Societies (CSO)Contemporary and Global Issues (CGI)Imaginative Arts (IA)Science, Technology, and Society (STS)Economics and Organizations (EC) Individual and Group Behavior (IG)

Also Common Experience University Courses (UNIV) – have two or more knowledge areas designated


The knowledge area requirement is met by completing six KAs in a minimum of five courses beyond UNIV 190 (so at least one University Course).


The Communication Component

Courses designated as communication intensive are assigned communication points on a scale of one or two (C1 or C2) to indicate the extent of communication experience in that course. Beyond the Clarkson Seminar UNIV 190 (a C2 course), students must obtain six more “communication points,” at least two of them within the major at the 300/400 level. Communication points can be obtained by taking designated courses, or, with approval, through co-curricular experiences.
