Why is it possible to use a course from a primary major in a “cluster program” if it is not possible to use a primary major course within the Distributive Option of Supplemental Education?
The purpose of the Distributive requirement is to get students to reach beyond the Division of their primary major to broaden their horizons and find connections between their own developing expertise and intellectual fields that may seem alien to their own. The purpose of the Integrative requirement—though it has something in common with the broadening purpose of the Distributive requirement—is to encourage and facilitate cross-disciplinary illumination through exploration of a common problem. Evident commonalities (in addition to differences) are more important to the Integrative than to the Distributive Option.
