Would a Discovery Learning Experience require additional courses?
The majority of academic departments and programs, if not all, will be able to satisfy the DLE without the creation of new courses and without increasing the number of credits required for graduation. Note that many other types of university-wide opportunities available to students (e.g. study abroad, summer research, service learning) can meet the requirements of the DLE if students take them for credit. Similarly, units might already have courses in place that also qualify as a DLE. However, it is important to emphasize that some of these courses might require some curricular and pedagogical modifications in order to ensure that they meet the DLE requirements.
