Whats a “cluster”?
For some degrees, two clusters may take the place of a minor requirement (see Catalog – Available cluster options are listed in the 2009-2010 Catalog under the Table Of Contents under the CLUSTERS link.) A cluster is a group of classes comprised of 12 – 15 credits of course work that enable a student to develop a specific skill set related to his or her chosen vocation or personal development. As students link clusters with an integrated major, they should include upper-division courses to ensure that adequate depth of skill development is achieved. Consider planning your cluster classes along with your major and Foundation class planning to ensure everything works together according to your needs.
