How are Watauga classes different from most freshman/sophomore-level classes?
Watauga classes are interactive, interdisciplinary, internationally-focused, and especially challenging, requiring you to use information in new and creative ways. The classes emphasize analytical reading and writing, creative research, and individual and group projects leading to public presentations. The fall and spring freshman core (Investigations: Local and Investigations: Global) form a coordinated curriculum leading to global awareness, beginning your journey to global competence.
