Learning Communities

In Learning Communities courses, professors team teach and connect the concepts of their disciplines under a common theme or question. You receive credit for each class as if you were taking traditional classes thus transfer and graduation credits are met.

Check out Episode 16 of Cougarcast for more information about Learning Communities.

For example:
"What Does It Mean To Be An American" = History + Sociology = 6 credit hours!
