Example 1: Interdisciplinary Approaches, International Perspectives
Example 2: Multicultural Perspectives

If there are no changes, skip section.

Community Engagement courses engage students in service-learning. Service-learning is a teaching and learning approach that integrates community service with academic study to enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities, while engaging students in reflection upon what was experienced, how community was benefited, and what was learned.

To be considered "interdisciplinary" course, syllabus must show that course is integrative with significant content, ideas, and ways of knowing from more than one discipline. Each course will involve student in critical thinking and integration of ideas. Instructors are encouraged to develop courses in which students from different majors share perspectives, methodologies, and expertise. Students will begin to make connections between their majors and at least two disciplines and ways of knowing, increasing both their knowledge and ability to communicate with people across disciplinary spectrum.

International Perspectives courses examine causes and effects of historical and contemporary global challenges/issues/problems, within and across national boundaries. They foster an understanding of how personal actions and political, social, and economic institutions affect both local and global communities and identities. They also address pressing and enduring world issues collaboratively and equitably, with consideration of cultural differences and power dynamics.

Multicultural Perspectives courses explore inter-relatedness and intersection of race and ethnicity with class, gender, sexuality, and other forms of difference, hierarchy, and oppression. They also engage social justice, indigeneity, transnational, transborder, and global issues, appreciating identities and situations as diasporic communities, and as interrelated realities in American society.
