CORE CURRICULUM - ADDENDUM FOR STUDENTS WHO ENTERED PRIOR TO FALL 2005 CLUSTER COURSES 2006–2007 Developed to introduce an interdisciplinary approach to the study of events and issues, cluster courses emphasize that no one approach will fully inform us of the significance of our collective lives and histories. School for Professional Studies Students are exempt from Cluster Courses With this foundation, students will choose a cluster and will take three courses from that cluster group by the time they graduate. Each cluster course must be from a different discipline. Care must be taken in choosing cluster courses since not all courses are taught each semester. Below you will find a brief description of each cluster with its accompanying courses. THE DIVERSITY CLUSTER How is our understanding of diversity formed, experienced and given meaning? We see differences of age, race, gender, and religion, to name a few. Does the meaning come from our social institutions, stereotypes, prejudices, or culture? Courses in this cluster focus on several categories of diversity. Students experience dialogue with instructors and fellow students. They are also given opportunities for valuing differences, self-reflection, and decision-making.

Hundreds of years ago the earliest observers noted the capacity of Americans for hope and their belief in the potential of their country: The American Dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald entertained the idea that America might be the last and greatest of all human dreams. Has America in the last hundred years lived up to its promise? This cluster examines those forces that have affected and do affect our country’s ongoing struggle to reconcile the realities of America with the promise of America.

THE 21ST CENTURY CLUSTER Computer scientist Alan Kay wrote, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” We cannot predict the future, but we know that the future is the product of social, cultural, and technological change. The courses in this cluster aim to understand the nature of life in the 21st century by studying the forces that shape the future. A better understanding of those forces allows us to ask what should happen and how we can make a difference.
